Build, influence, survive – in the most legendary city of the Forgotten Realms.
Welcome to Baldur’s Gate, the bustling metropolis between glory and doom!
In this strategic city-building game for 2-4 players by acclaimed author Matthew Dunstan, you take on the role of the head of an influential family – and fight for prestige, power, and influence in the nine districts of the city.
Build your empire
Establish new businesses, towers, gates, and fortresses to expand your network in the city.
Every time you place a building, you set an influence marker that shows your control – even on 3D miniatures like watchtowers and gatehouses that bring the cityscape to life!
The greater your influence, the more prestige you gather – but remember: in Baldur’s Gate, every decision has consequences.
Three factions – countless possibilities
To succeed, you must deal with the powerful of the city:
-
the Council of Four, who watch over the fate of Baldur’s Gate,
-
the Flaming Fist, the military order,
-
and the Thieves' Guild, who have their own laws.
Use skillful diplomacy to form alliances – or spin intrigues.
Dangers behind every wall
Baldur’s Gate is not a peaceful city.
Time and again, monster hordes break through the gates or rise from the depths of the harbor.
When the city is threatened, rival families must temporarily work together to fend off the attackers – yet even in crisis, everyone senses the chance to secure their own advantage.
