by You’re a masked lord of Waterdeep.
No, bear with me here. Waterdeep, the legendary city of Dungeons & Dragons’s Forgotten Realms, is a bustling metropolis, run by secretive lords with their own agendas, who are more often than not engaged in political machinations against one another.
That’s the backdrop for Lords of Waterdeep, developed by Playdek and based on Wizards of the Coast’s popular tabletop board game.
And though there’s no faster way to make someone’s eyes glaze over than to explain that Lords of Waterdeep is a “European-style worker placement game,” this isn’t Clue or Monopoly. Don’t worry if you’re not a D&D aficionado—the setting mainly provides flavor; you don’t need any special knowledge of the classic role-playing game to play or enjoy Lords of Waterdeep. All you need is some willingness to indulge in some fantastical intrigue and a thirst for victory.
