Citadels
In Citadels, 2-8 players secretly choose character roles each round – like the King, Thief, or Magician – each granting unique abilities. Players then take turns using their character to gather gold and construct buildings in their district. The goal is to be the first to build eight districts or have the most valuable city at the game's end. Bluffing, anticipating opponents' actions, and choosing the right character at the right time are key to success in this engaging game of city building and character intrigue. Watch out for the Assassin!

We collect all the questions you players have asked us and put them on this page so we can share the answers with everyone.
The turn order is determined by the number of the chosen character. If multiple players chose the same character, the player who picked it first (in turn order from the previous round) will perform that character's action first. Remember, only the first player to reveal a chosen character gets to perform its action for that round!
Yes! You can build as many districts as you have the gold to pay for, up to your hand size limit. There are no restrictions on the number of districts you can build per turn, beyond your resources and hand limit.
If the deck of district cards is exhausted during the game, simply reshuffle the discard pile to create a new deck. The game continues as normal.
The game ends at the end of the round in which one player builds their eighth district. At that point, scoring occurs.
