Lords of Waterdeep is a digital board game based on the physical board game of the same name set in the Dungeons & Dragons fictional universe. The iOS version was developed by Playdek and released by Wizards of the Coast on November 21, 2013.[1] Versions for both Android and Steam were released on September 1, 2017.[2] The game was well-received by critics both for its gameplay and mechanics, and noted as one of the best digital board games on mobile platforms.

## Gameplay

The game can be played solo or with friends, and puts players in the role of the Masked Lords, the anonymous rulers of Waterdeep, a thriving port city. The goal is to compete against other Lords by scoring the most victory points, earned mostly by completing quests.[3]

The game was positively received by critics.

Shaun Musgrave of TouchArcade gave the iOS version of the game 4/5 stars, calling it a well-designed board game with a good conversion into digital form. He praised both the difficulty of the single-player AI, as well as the ease of local and online multiplayer.[3]

Max Eddy of PCMag gave the iOS version 4.5/5 points and the Editor's Choice award, calling it "fun and strategic" and noting that it both looked and played "great". He praised the tutorials as "in-depth" and noted that no prior knowledge of Dungeons & Dragons was required.[4]

J.P. Grant of Paste called the game's mechanics "intricate" and the game itself one of a number of "outstanding" digital board games.[5] In contrast, Rob Zacny of VICE criticized the game as a "bad teacher".[6]
