Evaluation

D&D Lords of Waterdeep launched on September 1, 2017, as a digital adaptation of the award-winning board game. Both available DLC expansions — Undermountain and Skullport — were released on the same day as the base game, meaning the full content package has been available since launch. No additional DLC has been announced or listed since then. The developer (Playdek) has posted a handful of maintenance updates over the years — most recently on March 3, 2022 — covering bug fixes, graphics improvements, and compatibility updates. None of these posts hint at new content, expansions, or future development plans. The last developer communication was on March 3, 2022, and there has been no activity since. The game appears to have shipped as a complete digital adaptation of the board game with its two expansions included from day one, and no further content has ever been signaled.

About this game

Wizards of the Coast and Playdek present the award-winning Dungeons & Dragons board game Lords of Waterdeep!

Welcome to Waterdeep, the City of Splendors! A city run by a secret society of masked Lords who rule with shady back-door dealings and unmatched political power. In Lords of Waterdeep players will play as one of these masked Lords and will need to recruit adventurers to go out and complete quests for them. The more quests they complete, the more control and influence they have over the city.

Players can expand the city by purchasing buildings that will open up new opportunities within the city walls. Intrigue cards can be used to help the player and may also either help or hinder their fellow Lords in their quest to become the supreme ruler of Waterdeep!

Lords of Waterdeep is a turn-based strategy game played in 8 rounds and can be played against AI or with up to 5 human players. Players take turns assigning their agents to do their bidding, whether it is to recruit new adventurers to their tavern or purchase a new building for the city. Points and resources are gained by completing quests, playing Intrigue cards, constructing new buildings or having other players utilize the buildings you have constructed. At the end of the 8 rounds bonus points are awarded and the player with the most points at the end wins the game.
