Invisible Hands (A Review of Lords of Waterdeep)

Dungeons and Dragons is a roleplaying game known for its fantasy basis, with players taking on the role of adventurers going on adventures, fighting monsters, looking for treasure, and getting themselves into trouble.  Sometimes these adventures spawn from rumors at the tavern, but often adventurers are hired by someone with lots of cash.

Lords of Waterdeep is a board game based in the D&D universe and gives players a chance to play as the rich folk who do the hiring, rather than the adventures.  These Lords seek political power through intrigue, manipulation, and of course paying parties of adventurers to do things for them.  They are the invisible hands pulling the strings behind the scenes. They are... the Lords of Waterdeep.
