I played a game of Lords of Waterdeep and received The Xanathar as my lord, who in my opinion is the worst of them all. My question is are there any viable strategies to win with the Xanathar, knowing that my opponents will avoid having minimal if any corruption tokens at the end of the game?
Ultimately, victory points are the key to winning Lords of Waterdeep. Adventurers are worth one point, and you get one point for every two coins.
You can use this formula to calculate which quest gives the best rewards. If a quest requires four adventurers and four coins, for example, it has a cost of six victory points. If it only gives eight victory points, you only gain two points for completing the quest. If it grants eight victory points and two fighters, you effectively gain four points for the quest.
