The kingdom is looking for a Court Builder, and you are one of the people vying for this prestigious position. Put powerful characters to work and use their special abilities to outsmart your rivals. Create the most impressive city, gain the recognition of the monarch, and enjoy the coveted title of Court Builder!

Citadel is a new edition of a strategic game based on the exchange of cards, where we use the help and abilities of other characters every round. Each inhabitant of the city will provide us with a completely different effect, and we will have to skillfully maneuver between gaining benefits for ourselves and making the game more difficult for our opponents.

Citadel is played over a series of rounds. Each round begins with a selection phase, where players pass character cards to each other and choose one per round. All character cards have special abilities, such as stealing coins or destroying another player's district. The selection phase is followed by the player turn phase, during which players collect resources and build new districts in their cities. The game continues until one of the participants builds the seventh district in their city.

Why will you love this game? While the rules of Citadel are simple, the game itself offers many tactical possibilities: each card has its own effect; some favor building, others hoarding coins, and others demolishing enemy districts. This is a great proposition for fans of games with a lot of interaction, including negative interactions! To win, we must not only take care of our own interests but also ensure that our opponents do not grow stronger too quickly. The changing situation at the table and the universality of card effects mean that each game is different, and we have to adjust our strategy to what is happening around us.

Box contents: 27 character cards, 84 district cards, 27 auxiliary character cards, 5 ability marker cards, 8 aid cards, plastic crown, 22 plastic coins.
