Citadels

About this game

Draft a secret role each round from a rotating pool of characters, then use that character's unique power to gather gold, build districts, or sabotage opponents. The Assassin kills, the Thief steals, the Magician swaps cards, and the Architect builds extra districts. The core tension: choosing which role to take and which to deny others, reading the table to predict who picked what. Build seven districts to trigger the endgame, scoring for variety, special buildings, and total value. A classic hidden-role city builder that scales beautifully from 2 to 8.
