A game of intrigue awaits in this strategic social game of characters and districts, all the content of Citadels Deluxe now sized to fit a travel-friendly package!
You have a rare opportunity. As one of the kingdom's great builders, you have been commissioned to build a new city from the ground up. If your city surpasses those of the other builders, you will earn the title of master builder and achieve lasting renown.
Citadels is a card game in which you and your opponents vie to build the most magnificent medieval city. Designed by Bruno Faidutti and first published in 2000, Citadels has become one of the most popular and greatest games of the modern era. It boasts a thoroughly approachable mechanical framework that is easy to learn, yet rich in deception, strategy, and intrigue.
Scheme Your Way to the Top
To be selected for the coveted post of Master Builder, you must impress the
monarchy by constructing a majestic medieval metropolis. In Citadels, players
use the local citizens to acquire gold and build districts to complete their
city. Players draft characters each round, looking for those who provide the
desired special abilities to further develop their cities—or hinder their
opponents' efforts. Hire the elusive Thief and pick one of your
rival’s pockets, or commission the Artist to beautify your districts and
increase their value. Plot, scheme, and deceive your way to the top as you
attempt to predict your opponents’ actions and foil their plans. Only the best
city will earn its steward the title of Master Builder.
A Revised Classic
Designed by Bruno Faidutti and originally released in 2000, Citadels is
considered one of the great card games of the modern era. The Citadels Deluxe
edition expanded on Citadels Classic, changing the art and adding more
characters and districts. This new revised edition contains all the great
content included in Citadels Deluxe, but is scaled to fit a smaller, more
portable box.
