Lords of Waterdeep Expansion: Scoundrels of Skullport

A family favourite, the expansion(s) gave us much replayability. Quality is good, on par with the original game.

Quite happy with this extension, which adds new dimensions to the original game, as well as the ability to play with 6 people, for when you have a larger group around. The mechanics that it adds to the game are intriguing and compelling. While the game itself is not changed dramatically, the additional options are adding more options. I would definitely recommend for fans of Lords of Waterdeep who have played the game for a while and are seeing it getting a bit repetitive: this extension will (no pun intended) extend the life of the game by giving new options. Besides the additional boards and mechanics, it also provides additional quest and intrigue cards, as well as new buildings. As well as longer mode using an additional agent. Plenty to like and nothing to dislike. The price is a bit steep (almost as much as the original game) but the build quality is really nice and I can understand where the cost comes from.

Giving this a 1 start review for attention, in hopes that the seller will see and send me the missing deck so that I don’t have to return the whole item and repurchase.

LoW the base game has been the *most* popular and replayable board game. It's good enough to play /w 2 people or 5 people. This expansion (which is really two expansions) makes EVERYTHING BETTER. You get Skullport (new resource in the form of corruption/-points) and Undermountain (more intrigue, bigger quests) and new lords, intrigue, and buildings appropriate to the new mechanics. You also get a new color to add a new player. We've primarily played Undermountain and it makes the game MUCH more forgiving when there's more players b/c it's harder to 'lock' a single player out of a key resource. My wife and mother in law don't like the idea of corruption (mom's a little religious/goody goody) so we haven't played it much, but based on reading through the buildings, cards, etc., it adds a lot more volatility to determining who wins in the end. There's extra agents to play a 'long game' variant, which is nice (broke 200 points once o.O). Some folks have mentioned issues with the first run (which I think i have). The quest cards are printed 'upside down' compared to the base game. Makes it easier to sort for us afterwards b/c we just sort based on orientation of the back of the card. There are icons on everything so you can easily see which expansion it belongs to. There's a game mode that lets you play with both expansions, but then you remove cards and buildings from the original expansion, which can give you a lot of different synergies/combos compared to just playing with one expansion. There are some really cool synergies/combos around certain quests, intrigue cards, and buildings. For example, mom completed a quest that allowed her to draw an intrigue card after she plays one and then there's another building that allows you to play multiple intrigue cards (I think 3) and another quest? I think that gives you victory points for intrigue cards. She literally couldn't use all the intrigue cards she accumulated, but it was pretty fun and cool since we had to change our strategy to try to prevent her from playing intrigue cards. Finally, there's a intrigue card that allows you to 'steal' resources from an opponent, but then that player gets the intrigue card (so they can 'attack' you back later). The flavor text is: Cue Evil Laugh. So we made mom do an evil laugh everytime she used it, which is hilarious in and of itself.

Materiali molto buoni e cura nella progettazione di componenti e inserto. L'espansione aggiunge il sesto giocatore, opzione sempre comoda che aumenta la versatilità del gioco. Inoltre, nuove meccaniche arricchiscono questo bel titolo con Skullport e Undermountain. Consigliato. Unico neo, la scatola ha il suo volume e risulta un filo ingombrante.
