Wizards of the Coast continues to capitalize on the rich history and world of Dungeons and Dragons not just with one of the biggest role-playing games in the world, but also with a great variety of board games. Two of the newer additions to their board game line are Conquest of Nerath and Lords of Waterdeep.
