Lords of Waterdeep · Expansion

Scoundrels of Skullport

Worth it

Our take
On a 2013 r/boardgames thread owners called it pretty fun with many more actions and new buildings and quests; one said the corruption risk/reward is a nice addition, while another warned it will not win over hardcore gamers and mostly keeps the light game fresh longer. The 2026 BGG reprint thread confirms the reprint is the same content.
What you need first
Just the base game
What it adds
Two modules that can be used separately or together: Undermountain (bigger quests and resources placed on board spaces) and Skullport (a Corruption mechanic with negative end-game points). Adds new Lords, buildings, Intrigue and Quest cards, and a sixth player faction (Gray Hands).
What it fixes
Adds replay variety after many plays of the base game and lets a sixth player join.
