Rise as the mastermind behind one of Baldur's Gate's most influential families, weaving a web of commerce and power across the legendary city's bustling districts while deadly monsters lurk beyond the walls.

Your family's destiny unfolds across nine distinct districts of this iconic Forgotten Realms metropolis, where every building you construct strengthens your growing network of influence. Navigate the treacherous political landscape by courting favor with the Council of Four's noble elite, the Flaming Fist's military might, and the shadowy Thieves' Guild. But prosperity comes with peril—when monstrous hordes assault the city from land and sea, you must forge temporary alliances with rival families to defend your investments, all while seeking opportunities to advance your own agenda amid the chaos.

Watch your empire take shape in stunning three-dimensional glory as miniature keeps, gates, and watchtowers rise from the board, each crowned with your family's influence cubes. Every placement decision echoes through the districts, creating networks of power that span the entire city. In Baldur's Gate, only the most cunning families will survive the constant threats and emerge as the true architects of the city's golden age.

What Matthew says

"When I was offered the chance to design a game set in Baldur's Gate, I jumped at the chance. Wizkids wanted a more Euro, strategic style of game, and I hope that I was able to deliver! I'm a big fan of spatial games, asking players to plan where they will build, and their choices radiating out and effecting the other players. I hope fans of the setting will find a fun new challenge in a new medium!"
