Enter Waterdeep, a city of splendor, as a player who battles to become the most powerful 'Lord' through cunning and deceit or if that doesn't work; with violence! As a hidden leader, you deploy your subjects tactically on the game board. Hire new recruits to send on quests, receive rewards for your actions and increase your influence in the city. Build new buildings that unlock new actions or play intrigue cards to hinder or help the other players, as long as you can carry out your secret plans. Are you the most cunning lord and ruler of Waterdeep?
