I had the opportunity to play Lords of Waterdeep. It was the first (and still only) DnD board game I've played. In short, it was a blast. Here's what I can say about it.

The game is Competitive not Cooperative
It's a resource acquisition game
You play a Lord of Waterdeep that is unknown to the other players with a secret agenda
Each turn you acquire various types of resources to complete objectives
You acquire resources by sending agents out to various location in Waterdeep
Completing objectives that are part of your Lord's secret agenda earn you bonus points
The game we played had four (of a possible 5) players and took about two hours to play. Two of the players were new to the game

Since playing, I've been eagerly awaiting it's release in March.
