Weird, my initial comment went missing. Anyway. LOW is a gold medal game, i just forgot to put it in the video. So take this comment as acknowledgement that it is such.
I was surprised you didn't say it in the video, given your tone thoughout the episode. Thanks for clarifying!
It's also a 6 time "top 100 game of all time" on my yearly list vids
With the expansions this game is excellent. Will remain in my collection forever.
One of our favorite games including expansion. Just enough interaction to keep it 'spicy'
I made sure to get some tiny meeples to replace the cubes, so that they looked like fighters, clerics, etc. It helps the immersion rather than players saying, "I'll take two black cubes and a purple."
Thats nice. If they do a new edition it should have that
I agree and think this is essential. More than any other game I've enhanced, this changed it from cubes to theme.
Still one of my favorite games. Just a straight up solid game. Best if played with the expansion though.
One of my old favorites!
Oh sod it, I forgot to add the gold medal bit at the end. Anyway, LOW, a game i have played a gazillion times on its app and plenty in person to boot really is a bit of a classic. Probably the game that got me into worker placement. A bit of a Millennium falcon* game these days, but one i still enjoy playing.

My wife's and I love LoW and it will never leave our collection. You may think "that's crazy. So many more work placers now since it!" Yeah well LoW is really tightly designed. Nothing is fluff. It's balanced. Except the damn Building lady scoring card. Screw her. She is OP imo. Anyways, LoW is my example of "why do I need this newer shiny thing? LoW does it just fine". That said I will still buy plenty of worker placement games that give me a slightly different feel but LoW has cemented on my shelf.
Love this game, and I'm always happy to see I'm not the only one
Not ALL of the information is secret. The quest cards are face up for everyone to see. 1:14
Woah, mind blown. We have never played with faceup quest cards in player areas. Wow
@@3MBG It's how I play. When you can send an intrigue card over to totally blow up my opponent's tavern so he can't send the rogues he needed for that quest card... BWAHAHAHAHAHA
@@LizT-qx3xl I recognize being a victim of that very play.
Such a solid classic game! We still own it and the expansions, even if we haven't played it in years. I think it's one we'll always keep, if just for the nostalgia of how much we played it when we first got into the hobby and all years of D&Ding.
But oh that box! What a terrible decision! Only box in our collection that has a box band on it to keep it closed.
Great game, great video. Well said, this deserves to be in almost everyone's collection, and the app is also fantastic!
Great video. The last person to visit the city get the white castle (go first) token - whatever that means. In our house rules, we just make it last person to sit down at the table. From there I think each person gets 1 additional coin at the start going clockwise round the table.
oh, i never cover all the rules for a game in my video. They aren't how to play videos, just enough information for people to mostly know how a game is played
This is my go-to for introducing non-gamers into our world. Everyone seems to catch on pretty quickly and asks to play more.😊
There's only one thing that's bad about LOW. It has an amazing insert that doesn't support card sleeves.
A fellow gamer had to point out the D&D logo on the board, as I was unconvinced it was... and that's good for me, as I long since tired of high fantasy theming, thus it's always going to be white, orange etc. cubes to me rather than what they're meant to represent.
Agreed on the buildings adding a nice twist, and especially as the game can be so tight on worker placement spaces. Mandatory quests won't be to everyone's tastes, and I'm aware some gamers house-rule them out of the game. There's still a little other 'take that' in the game via some of the intrigue cards.
A useful 'intro to worker placement' games for sure, and plays fast. Not a game I want, but one I don't mind playing infrequently.
Whoa, I never knew about the waterdeep Harbour special move.
This video is incredible. in roughly 3 min. (I know your vids and appreciate them all, but this one takes a double like from me). Wow wow wow, I know Lords of Waterdeep and really like it. :D this video, awesome awesome.
Cheers and thank you
I loved playing Lords of Waterdeep! Have played the base game quite a few times. The only thing keeping me from buying it myself is that nearly everyone says the expansion is basically required, but I'm uncomfortable with it having a slave market.
Yeah, fair enough.
I've only played it a couple of times. I want to like it more than I do as it's one of my friends favorite games. Maybe I need to try it a couple more times and see if it clicks for me.
Thanks!
You're welcome!
My group wants to play this. Sort of not looking forward to it; worker placement isn't my favorite and I have to hope that the contract end of it can salvage the game.
I love this on steam. I wish it had better lords portrait art, the ability to pick your lord, and the option to keep playing after round 8. From there, elimination mode. lol. bring out their dnd stats and fight it out! ok. i got carried away on that last bit.
D&D, Caylus edition
2 to 6? Isn’t it 2 to 5?
Ah, without expansion, yeah. I always forget the 6th player is part of the expansion
Never too late 😬😬😬 LoW was in the collection for 7 years. We liked it, but never loved it. Champions of the Midgard fired it out from the shelf.
Similar for me. I loved LoW, but Champions of Midgard is just a funner entry level worker placement game (with Valhalla).
@@himay333 yes!!! To be honest, I'd rather play many games before LoW. Stone age, Architects of the west kingdom, Everdell...
But it is a fun game. Just nothing special. And the theme does nothing for me.
Whats weird is im liking it more lately, precisely because other WP games are a bit more convoluted. The streamlined nature of LOW is coming back into fashion with me ;)
@@3MBG yeah, before the expansion. Expansion makes it much heavier, but not that more fun. Just my opinion, and I'm wrong 😁
I only like to play with 1/2 the expansion at any time, so i get you
Would you prefer to play LOW or Champions of Midgard? Champions looks like the better game honestly, the theme isnt pasted on and the mechanics seem more satisfying. What do you think?
Never actually played midgard, so no comment sorry
Complex, medium? It is well known as a entry, gate-way, level game.
As long as it needs any amount of text reading (language dependant), it's a medium game in my book, especially for us non-english speaking people.
Yeah, but I also give it medium. Stone age is entry weight. This one have million little 'what is this thing' questions, with intrigue cards especially.
@@wicaksonoadi1035very much this ☝🏻
@@nuuqbgg wha? Seriously? Hardly. I’ve owned it for some time and newbs have never had rules confusion issues. Maybe I’m just an awesome teacher of the game.
@@stevegeorge7773 that must be it.
This game wasn’t for me/us. There was nothing particularly wrong with it, it’s just that there was nothing necessarily right about it either.
It was an unfortunate combination of too simplistic for us two and then I didn’t think we had the ideal playing group to get a kick out of it either.
Having said that, I would play it again, but when it comes to games I own, I want to remain quite judgmental in order to not have too many.
I am so very much the same these days. I've played a bunch of games this year that are good games and enjoyable enough. But not enough to keep. Fun fact, i don't own Lords of Waterdeep. That copy was my friends. If we ever play it, we play it at his place.
Game of Cubes. Ok game, easy to pick up but theme is a total paste on.
