Lords of Waterdeep (GER)

Welcome to Waterdeep, the City of Splendor! Here, power is not determined by swords and spells, but by clever intrigue, secret alliances, and having the right adventurers at the right time.

In Lords of Waterdeep, you take on the roles of influential but mysterious rulers of the famous city from the Dungeons & Dragons universe. Behind the scenes, you pull the strings, dispatch your agents, and strive to continually expand your influence over Waterdeep.

But you’re not alone: The other Lords are also pursuing their own plans—and not everyone is playing with their cards on the table!

At the heart of the game is the popular worker-placement mechanic. Round after round, you send your agents to various locations around the city to collect valuable resources, earn gold, hire adventurers, and unlock new opportunities.

With the right adventurers, you can complete quests that earn you victory points and other benefits. At the same time, you can construct new buildings that open up additional action spaces—not just for you, but for your fellow players as well.

And then there are the Intrigue Cards: With them, you can advance your own plans, create surprising twists, or make life a little harder for your competitors.

The secret Lord cards are particularly exciting, as they give each player individual goals and strategic priorities. As a result, new possibilities, tactical decisions, and power struggles emerge from game to game.

Those who use their resources wisely, recognize the right moment to take action, and keep an eye on the competition will ultimately have the best chance of rising to become the most powerful Lord of Waterdeep.

With this edition, the modern board game classic is being published in its entirety in German for the first time!
