Summary
I've been excited of this one, not just because it is Playdek, but because I love the game and was looking forward to playing it more on iOS. Luckily, they have delivered. This is a polished experience online and off and really captures the board game. My only complaint with the game is that they don't seem to innovate and make the board experience fit on iOS. There are some great UI choices, but the whole board presentation is too literal. There is a lot of panning and zooming needed. That aside, I real enjoyed it. If you thought Agricola strayed too far from the tabletop design, Lords of Waterdeep is for you.
