Dungeons & Dragons: Builders of Baldur’s Gate

About this board game

Dungeons & Dragons: Builders of Baldur’s Gate is a city-building game for 2–4 players, with games lasting about 90 minutes. Released in 2025, it puts each player in the role of a powerful family seeking prestige in the iconic city of Baldur’s Gate.

Develop the city by building new businesses across its nine districts. Your influence grows as you create one large network and establish a presence throughout every district. When you place a building, add an influence cube to show your control and make your family’s mark on the city.

Baldur’s Gate is shaped by more than commerce. You must also extend your influence among three major factions: the Council of Four, the Flaming Fist, and the Thieves’ Guild. Balancing these relationships is part of the effort to advance your family’s agenda and increase its prestige.

• Build businesses across nine districts.
• Grow a connected network and spread influence throughout the city.
• Align your family with three powerful factions.
• Use special keeps, gates, and watchtowers, represented by miniatures with slots for influence cubes.

Danger regularly reaches the city, with mobs of monsters attacking the outer walls or arriving from the harbor. These incursions force temporary alliances as families work together to fend off the threat. At the same time, each family seeks to exploit every crisis as a stepping stone toward its own goals.

With three-dimensional landmarks and a city that develops through your building decisions, Dungeons & Dragons: Builders of Baldur’s Gate combines influence, expanding networks, faction ties, and perilous interruptions in a vivid Forgotten Realms setting.
