About this game

Wizards of the Coast and Playdek present the award-winning Dungeons & Dragons board game Lords of Waterdeep!

Welcome to Waterdeep, the City of Splendors! A city run by a secret society of masked Lords who rule with shady back-door dealings and unmatched political power. In Lords of Waterdeep players will play as one of these masked Lords and will need to recruit adventurers to go out and complete quests for them. The more quests they complete, the more control and influence they have over the city.

Players can expand the city by purchasing buildings that will open up new opportunities within the city walls. Intrigue cards can be used to help the player and may also either help or hinder their fellow Lords in their quest to become the supreme ruler of Waterdeep!

Lords of Waterdeep is a turn-based strategy game played in 8 rounds and can be played against AI or with up to 5 human players. Players take turns assigning their agents to do their bidding, whether it is to recruit new adventurers to their tavern or purchase a new building for the city. Points and resources are gained by completing quests, playing Intrigue cards, constructing new buildings or having other players utilize the buildings you have constructed. At the end of the 8 rounds bonus points are awarded and the player with the most points at the end wins the game.

Ratings and reviews

Great game, really annoying sound issues. Specifically, I hate the sound. I always turn the music and sound effects off on games that I play. With Lords of water deep, if I connect to a Bluetooth sound device, such as when I get in my car, it will start playing sounds. But if I go into settings, they are all still turned off. I actually have to turn them on, and then turn them back off. And then it's quiet. But if I disconnect from a Bluetooth sound device, the game starts making sound again.

The game is awesome. The design of the mobile version is terrible. The amount of times you have to pass the phone or tablet around just to do mundane things like choose a quest from an intrigue card, choose a class or cube, or just simply end your turn after choosing is absolutely infuriating (while watching a recap for each) . Simple things that can be done on your turn and shouldn't require you to pass it on. There's also no way to skip the recap. You can make it go by faster bot not skip.

Two things that would make this a five star game: if there must be a timer (1) option to pause the game [timer] and (2) rather than having a forfeit when the time goes out, have that person just loose the rest of their turns. Too many close games have been essentially erased due to the timer. It would be nice to see what the score was at the time the game ended.
