A multi dimensional multipath to victory game with bag building and worker placement.
This game is one of my wife's favorites too. So many different ways to win this game, and the special buildings are the key to different paths. I will warn you as a first time player, make sure you don't neglect the knowledge path (books) or the map, those are the key to the game, how you get those down are how you win. This game is all about how you find your personal efficiency, and use your strengths which you've built better than you neighbor. I've not yet played the expansions as we've played the central game only about 20 times so far, holding out on opening those up till after the base game gets stale.

Control of the city
Even for people with no prior knowledge of Dungeons and Dragons, Lords of Waterdeep is absolutely playable and enjoyable with a great theme and good rules; quick to learn and intuitive, after a couple of games the rulebook is barely touched.

For people with knowledge of Dungeons and Dragons, being able to play as one of the hidden Lords of Waterdeep feels very special; for those who know the Forgotten Realms well, it adds an extra level of depth (outside of the books and pages) to the City, and gives some inspiration for the sort of tasks the Lords may ask players.

The game itself is a worker placement, resource/recruit gathering, with a strong player vs Player element.

The core game is absolutely playable multiple times, and the add on (probably reviewed separately!) adds new rules and characters, but crucially is not an absolute must to get the full experience.
