D&D Lords of Waterdeep
Had a great time with Jill, Jeff, Brian, and Tim playing this board game tonight at J&J's manor. Jill was the big winner and totally skunked us in victory points. Jeff in 2nd, me in 3rd followed by T & B. The object is to fulfill your Lord's wishes (hawt!) and this means gathering cubes to build stuff. There is no auction mechanic but you place workers and screw your neighbors with intrigue cards. I give it a solid 9.0 on the Board Game Geek rating scale. Was a good 5 player but would be an excellent 3-4 player since there's more opportunity to place meeples and build buildings.
