Citadels

A quick post for another entry in my 52 Games project - on Wednesday evening Catherine selected Citadels as the game we were going to play after tea. And it's a new one for this year, so it counts!

For those who don't know it's a game about building medieval/fantasy cities. There are eight/nine character roles in play, but instead of the player adopting a role or roles for the whole game, they adopt different ones each turn, accessing the character's special ability for the turn as required. You collect gold, draw cards to access new regions to add to your city and use your abilities for the turn to collect more resources, build your city better or hinder other players.

I didn't record the game we played in any detail, but Catherine and I ended up in a close finish, but I clinched a win by stealing a city component from Maya using the power of the Diplomat.

And that's it.
