Citadels – 2016 Edition

Description

In Bruno Faidutti’s 2016 Edition Citadels, players take on new roles each round to represent characters they hire in order to help them acquire gold and erect buildings.

Players start the game with a number of building cards in their hand; buildings come in five colors, with the purple buildings typically having a special ability and the other colored buildings providing a benefit when you play particular characters.

At the start of each round, the player who was king the previous round discards one of the eight character cards at random, chooses one, then passes the cards to the next player, etc. until each player has secretly chosen a character. Each character has a special ability, and the usefulness of any character depends upon your situation, and that of your opponents.

Features:

• The 2016 edition of Citadels includes twenty-seven characters eight from the original Citadels, ten from the Dark City expansion, and nine new ones.
• Ages 10+.
• Playtime: 30-60 mins.
