Manage a French harbour town — collect goods from the harbour, build or use buildings to process them, and feed your workers each round in this classic two-player-friendly economic game.
Lords of Waterdeep
Rule the Forgotten Realms city of Waterdeep as a masked Lord, sending agents to recruit adventurers and build city landmarks to complete quests and outmanoeuvre your fellow secret Lords.
