Lords of Waterdeep Play Guide

Lords of Waterdeep has a simple game structure. After the first couple of rounds, you'll be an expert.

How To Play

The game centers around powerful lords fighting for control of the city. You need at least two players and at most, five.

Here's what each player needs to start:

• A player board
• One lord card
• Two intrigue cards
• Two quest cards
• Set number of meeples determined by the number of players
• Four gold (starting player; add one gold for each subsequent player)

Players move in a counterclockwise direction. Every player places a meeple onto an open space and continues until none are left. Each space dictates an action or resource for the player to take. At the end of the round, players collect their meeples. The game lasts a total of eight rounds and players tally the points they earned from all quests.

• Utilize the harbor. The harbor allows you to take extra action and play an intrigue card.
• Seek out quests early in the game to avoid losing out on good quests.
• Become a builder. Builders seem unimportant at the beginning of the game, but the longer your buildings are left, the more victory points you receive. Builders receive a mid to late-game payoff.

Try to understand your opponents' play style and determine which items may become scarce. Focus on getting as many of the scarce resources as possible before they run out.
