You’re a masked lord of Waterdeep.</p><p>
No, bear with me here. Waterdeep, the legendary city of Dungeons &amp; Dragons’s Forgotten Realms, is a bustling metropolis, run by secretive lords with their own agendas, who are more often than not engaged in political machinations against one another.</p><p>
That’s the backdrop for Lords of Waterdeep (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/d-d-lords-of-waterdeep/id648019675?mt=8), developed by Playdek and based on Wizards of the Coast’s popular tabletop board game.</p><p>
And though there’s no faster way to make someone’s eyes glaze over than to explain that Lords of Waterdeep is a “European-style worker placement game,” this isn’t Clue or Monopoly. Don’t worry if you’re not a D&amp;D aficionado—the setting mainly provides flavor; you don’t need any special knowledge of the classic role-playing game to play or enjoy Lords of Waterdeep. All you need is some willingness to indulge in some fantastical intrigue and a thirst for victory.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2097962/staff-picks-lords-of-waterdeep-brings-fantasy-and-intrigue-to-ios.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
