In Dungeons & Dragons: Builders of Baldur's Gate, you step into the shoes of a powerful family leader vying for influence in the legendary city of Baldur's Gate. This city-building game, from acclaimed designer Matthew Dunstan, challenges you to expand your prestige and dominion across the metropolis's nine districts. Your goal is to establish a thriving business network and spread your influence throughout the city, all while navigating the complex relationships between the three main factions: the Council of Four, the Flaming Fist, and the Thieves' Guild.

But make no mistake, Baldur's Gate is not just a hub of commerce and intrigue in the Forgotten Realms; it's also a place of constant danger. Hordes of monsters threaten the outer walls and the harbor, forcing temporary alliances among families to fend off these incursions. Each crisis, however, presents an opportunity for the most cunning to advance their own agendas and consolidate power. As you build, you place influence cubes to mark your control over structures, including special keeps, gates, and watchtowers. These unique structures are represented by detailed miniatures, allowing you to watch the city grow and develop in three dimensions, making the building experience even more immersive and visually striking.
