Product Description:

One of the most popular card games of the last decade, Citadels is a unique role-based building game. Each player begins with 2 gold and 4 cards for building. 8 "role" cards are available each game, each with a special ability. Each player selects a role. The lowest-ranked player goes first, revealing a card and using the special ability. Then the player gathers resources (gold or district cards) and "builds" a card if he has enough money. Some roles directly affect other players, causing them to lose turns or money, while others provide monetary benefits. Since every character ranked higher than you is hidden, you can never be quite sure who picked what roles! This adds a very intense psychological aspect to the game as players attempt to predict what others will do as they slowly build their cities. The game ends when 8 buildings have been built, and final scoring takes place. Unique buildings and 24 characters allow for almost endless replayability! This definitive version includes the expansion, 9 new characters, and 12 new district buildings. For 2-8 players; 30-60 minutes. Note that witches and various magical / fantasy elements are involved.

My family LOVES this game!
My husband, two teenage daughters, and I play a lot of board games and card games. We have enjoyed Catan, Ticket to Ride, Kingdomino, Forbidden Island, Risk, Monopoly, Sorry, Dutch Blitz among others. However, Citadels is our new favorite game. With 9 different types of characters and 3 characters of each type, the variety in gameplay is endless as you mix and match the characters for each game. The rules seem confusing at first, but once you start playing, you quickly get the hang of it. If you are a family that loves card games and board games, try Citadels! It just might become your new favorite, too!
