Just played Lords of Waterdeep for the first time. Was it good? Was it great?? Did it suck?? A quick, BGG is down review...

Just got it yesterday.  Played with my 11 year old son (two player game for you non math majors).   Quick review:

Eye candy - Insert is awesome, everything has a place and the cards, chits, blocks are easy to remove. Cardboard pieces are thick, meeples are nice and the cards have great art and flavor text. The board is a bit on the bland side but efficient which I will discuss in the set up...

Learning curve -  Easy to learn.  The instructions are very well written and concise. Plenty of examples. Took 15 minutes to read and start playing.

Set up - Easy.  Took 5 minutes.  The board has place for all the cards, no guessing.  The player mats are nice too.  Everything is intuitive.  I like intuitive.

Play - Two phases - Assign your agent (must do).  Complete a quest (may do)  There are plenty of decisions to be made when sending out your agent - buy a building, gain warriors, wizards, clerics, and/or rogues, play an intrigue card, get $$.  Most places only allow one player to assign an agent per turn so planning is a must.  These actions help you complete quests which give you rewards and victory points.  Yay.

Thoughts - This is almost Ages of Empires III lite with a D&D theme, which is a great.  It's a Euro game to be sure, but with the D&D theme, my non Euro loving friend Chuck will play it which is good.  Plenty of decisions to be made with some screwage sprinkled in.  I can see these making the table quit a bit.  I give it 4 out of 6 Non Euro theme meeples.

Sweet.  I'll have to take a look at that one.

*Thumbs up*
Thanks for this review. I have not heard a negative thing on
this...looks like it's living up to the consumers expectations...if
not exceeding them.
