The action of the game is set in the title city of Waterdeep - a fictional city of the world of Forgotten Realms, also known as the City of Glamour.

The way to achieve the goal is to send special agents to different corners of the city, who will take care of treasure gathering, recruitment of adventurers and, if necessary, weaken the opponent with skillful intrigue. At the beginning of the game, the range of available options is relatively small, but thanks to investments and new buildings, players successively open up a number of previously unavailable opportunities and ways of operating. For those unfamiliar with the original, board version of the game, the developers have prepared a detailed tutorial, which will allow you to quickly master the secrets of the game.

In Lords of Waterdeep we can play alone, competing against opponents led by AI. At the heart of the game, however, is multiplayer fun, which can take place in several different modes. The authors have made available both the offline variant (in which we pass the tablet to the next player after each move) and the option of playing over the Internet (in asynchronous mode or in real time). In addition to the iOS Game Center, access to network functions also requires the creation of a special account on the manufacturer's website - Playdek.
