Why it’s a good drinking game:
Lords of Waterdeep works surprisingly well as a drinking game due to its mix of strategy, intrigue, and player interaction. The game’s quest-completing and resource-management mechanics provide plenty of opportunities for handing out sips to your opponents. The use of intrigue cards, which often disrupt opponents’ plans, adds to the playful competition—perfect for lighthearted toasts when plots go awry. Its smooth, turn-based gameplay keeps everyone engaged, making it easy to enjoy a drink without losing track of the game’s strategy.
