Description
In Citadels, players take on new roles each round torepresent characters they hire in order to help them acquire gold anderect buildings. The game ends at the close of a round in which a player erects their eighth building. Players then tally their points, andthe player with the highest score wins.
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. The characters then carry out their actions in numerical order: the assassin eliminating another character for the round, the thief stealing all gold from another character, the wizard swapping building cards with another player, the warlord optionally destroys a building in play, and so on.
On a turn, a player earns two or more gold (or draws two building cards then discards one), then optionally constructs one building (or up to three if playing the architect this round). Buildings cost gold equal to the number of symbols on them, and each building is worth a certain numberof points. In addition to points from buildings, at the end of the game a player scores bonus points for having eight buildings or buildings of all five colors.
The 2016 edition of Citadels includes twenty-seven characters — eight from the original Citadels, ten from the Dark City expansion, and nine new ones — along with thirty unique building districts, and the rulebook includes six preset lists of characters and districts beyond the starter list, each crafted to encourage a different style and intensity of gameplay.

| A great addition for any game library | |
| The artwork on this game is great. Anyone in to the city building and a little bit of mistery give this one a try. Very simple and fun game, good for family night or during the holiday when you have less hardcore board gamers in the house. | |

| J'ADORE | |
| J'adore y jouer avec mon beau-frère. La combinaison des différents personnages fait en sorte de toujours proposer des parties différentes toujours aussi palpitante les unes que les autres. | |

| Encore des bâtiments | |
| Bon, encore un jeu où on doit amasser de l'or et construire des bâtiments, mais c'est quand même agréable. On a préféré Architectes dans un genre un peu similaire. Quand même intéressant et pas trop cher. | |

| Simple et divertissant | |
| Classique qui a fait son entrée en 2000, cette version améliorée de 2016 nous propose plus de contenu. Les instructions et la mécanique du jeu est simple. Jeu de cartes dont vous devez choisir un personnage, activer ses pouvoirs lors de votre tour et acquérir des cartes développement pour faire progresser votre cité et ainsi gagner des points. Bonne possibilité de rejouabilité par la grande quantité de personnage et des possibilités de combinaison. Partie assez rapide et ajoute un volet d'intrigue à savoir quel personnage chaque joueur a sélectionné. Si vous voulez avoir du bon temps et ne pas vous cassez les méninges, Citadels est le jeu et a fait ses preuves. Jeu idéal pour initier de nouveaux joueurs, je recommande. | |
