unlabelledView post →Citadels is a fun tabletop game! but i played the 3-player version of the game, and it definitely is a lot more manageable than a 7-8 player game. i hope i get to play again weeee
unlabelledView post →Today was our 5th wedding anniversary. Traditional gift: Wood 😏 Jokes aside was a nice day. Went for breakfast and had a banana-churro Belgian baffle! Then we came home and game servers were down so we dissected a card game called Citadels 1v1 while the dog snoozed. Life is *deep-calm-sigh 😊
unlabelledView post →Great turn out for Ladies+ Table at @gamesandstuffmd.bsky.social tonight! The group keeps growing and it is so great to make new friends every other week. We played Spots, Citadels, Wingspan, River Valley Glassworks, Barenpark, and Trekking National Parks.

unlabelledView post →I'm managing to keep up some steam behind my Play Something Old series of posts. This time I've taken a look back at one of my first, and still one of my favourite games - Citadels. The butterscotch gold tokens are too good, and the game still holds up today punchboard.co.uk/play-somethi...

The more backers, the better the price for everyone. 👍 It is a grimdark open-world adventure in a mint tin box, which can also serve as an expansion for DOOM PILGRIM Pocket. ⚔💀⚔ www.thegamecrafter.com/crowdsale/fl...
unlabelledView post →In some European countries, Citadels (one of my all-time favourite board games) is called Machiavelli, and that's a way better description of the game! #Citadels #Machiavelli #BoardGames #CardGames
unlabelledView post →Hey nerds: I’m trying to identify a game I used to play ~20 years ago. It was a card game and I think it was marketed as being similar to Citadels. It was kind of medieval-themed and had characters with powers that did things, like I think there was a witch and a king and stuff. Ringing any bells?
unlabelledView post →Our June 2026 plays. I randomly brought Citadels to the meetup, and it has been a hit. There is an amusing meta game forming. I also revisited the West Kingdom after a too-long hiatus. It got me contemplating buying Viscounts, since I haven't tried the trilogy finale. #bgstats #boardgames
unlabelledView post →I played Lords of Vegas this weekend and realized it's the exact midpoint between Catan and Acquire. (Which is awesome btw.) It reminded me of Mission: Red Planet, which is the midpoint between Citadels and El Grande. What is your favorite "you got chocolate in my peanut butter" game?
unlabelledView post →Citadels This is a fun game with hidden roles and lots of opportunity for player interactions. Plays well at 2 players, or with more.
unlabelledView post →Second game of Christmas break is a 3p session of Citadels with @kbowenwriter.bsky.social whose Assassins were ruthless.

unlabelledView post →This week at FLAG Con’s Wednesday Board Games — #citadels is a drafting hidden role game where your asymmetrical ability changes every round! We also played #incangold a classic Push Your Luck game! #boardgame #gaming #boardgameconvention
unlabelledView post →#80 of my top 100 #boardgames: Citadels! I picked this up for $10 from a Barnes & Noble clearance bin, knowing nothing about it. WOW did that pay off. Choosing roles and having different abilities each round is super fun & it's so rare to find a non-party game that can accommodate up to 8 players.

unlabelledView post →Ever have that book on your shelf, bought but unread for an embarrassingly long time and once you read it you think, damn, should have read this sooner? Tonight that book was a board game, Citadels, that I’ve had in my collection for 15 years, untouched, and it hit home runs tonight with 7 players.
unlabelledView post →It looks like I started logging my board game plays in June 2004... And the fabulous Citadels was my most played game that year. What year did you start logging plays and which game had the most for you? #boardgames.
unlabelledView post →• Friendly Fishing, another collection game, this one a reworking of Tonari, which itself was a reworking of Alex Randolph's Veleno, at GameHead. • Citadels Duel, a two player version of Citadels designed by my friends Manu Rozoy and Guillaume Montiage, at Asmodee.
unlabelledView post →Actually made it to the Tower Games' Open Board Game Night this week. Spent about 4 hours there - teaching a couple of folks Citadels and playing two rounds, then joining a 4-player game of Ginzo Retro Cafe (boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/42...), which was interesting and fun. I have found my people.
unlabelledView post →This sounds like Citadels which is a great little game of sneaky subterfuge boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/47...
unlabelledView post →I'm very happy to see that the classic 2 player game Citadels is in Beta on BGA. I can see myself getting hooked again on the classic out think your one opponent game. Such a clever and classic 1 on 1 design. #Boardgames

unlabelledView post →CARDS! We love a good card game — last night at our weekly FLAGCon game night we played The Gang: a cooperative game where you try to guess who has the best poker hand; Incan Gold: a competitive push your luck game; and the classic hidden role drafting game Citadels! What’s your favorite card game?
unlabelledView post →Taught and played Citadels today with my girlfriend, I now remember why I like that game with 2 players only-- role drafting and banning with the original roles is still tight, to this day. 🎲 #boardgames
unlabelledView post →My board game buddies just got this. In Addition we also play chess, Dominion, Earth, Citadels, Tesseract. And other games.
unlabelledView post →Played a rousing game of Citadels
unlabelledView post →Citadels is a good series on TV. I’m a senior and I can understand how they like the game.
unlabelledView post →Had two for-sures, and a couple maybes for game night, but I didn’t stress. Citadels has had me covered since the year 2000 (and it’s still fantastic) #gamenight #boardgames
unlabelledView post →1. Last played? 🎲 Match Madness (party game) 2. Next to play? 🎲 Don't know how many will be at game night, but hoping Citadels or Mission Red Planet. 3. Fav. Boardgame? 🎲 Cosmic Encounter!
unlabelledView post →She misses the point. Frustration and negative emotions are already often deliberately implemented in game design - at least by me, and by Bruno Cathala who says that frustration is at the heart of gaming's pleasure. Did she ever play Poker ? It's all about losing, not winning. And Citadels...
unlabelledView post →That publisher had a whole line of games in that box size, of varying quality. Meuterer is my favourite. (I don't know if you're familiar with the game Citadels, but Meuterer and another Adlung game called Verrater were the inspiration for that)
unlabelledView post →Steph says we still have Citadels in a small box, so it looked more like a card game (they sell it in a bigger box now).
unlabelledView post →Fliptoons, Karak, probably even Citadels, Souvenirs from Venice, or MLEM: Space Agency are all lighter strategy with a variety of game mechanics to choose from (and should all be available at Rain City Games ;)
unlabelledView post →Citadels. Now that's a board game for puppys
unlabelledView post →Citadels is a great game that can pack down to just a deck of cards. Simple to learn, fairly quick for a round, but a surprising amount of strategic depth that makes it addictive.
unlabelledView post →Werewolf, Chameleon and even Sounds Fishy would likely cause some v interesting character developments bc they really work your brain- also Wits and Wagers would be so fkn cool if you made the trivia be WoW-related- Also: Diamant, Citadels, and Lifeboats may be p interesting- If you want more game +
unlabelledView post →Citadels - Actually won a game of this (rare). Some luck involved, but you feel like a genius when you manage to pull the correct play

unlabelledView post →I did a vid on this and some of the Vday sales on Game Crafter but Flails and Citadels is still on crowdsale; I can't recommend DOOM PILGRIM enough if you want a grimdark narrative solitaire game and I'm excited for this standalone/expansion. And Droned's art is so frggin' perfect for this concept
unlabelledView post →We didn't have a quorum for playing D&D tonight so we played Citadels. I had forgotten how fun that hidden role, city building game can be. #Citadels
unlabelledView post →Tomorrow is launch day for ‘Take the Throne’. One of my favourite card games I’ve played this year full of outwitting and outmanoeuvring your opponents, bluffing and more. Think Citadels meets Love Letter and you are somewhere near. Don’t miss out! www.kickstarter.com/projects/dea...
unlabelledView post →Tonight ran through Vivid Memories, Citadels, and Clank. Board game night is good practice for remembering names (which I'm still bollocks at), as I've played with at least several new people every week.
unlabelledView post →I haven't played Citadels in ages but have such good memories of playing that with different groups! Really fun game if everyone gets into it. Sounds like a perfect weekend!
unlabelledView post →Game 2 is Citadels
unlabelledView post →Family game of Citadels came down to tie-breaker between mother-in-law and son, who won with most district points despite being nearly last on almost every role draft all game long
unlabelledView post →"[...]imagine a version of Citadels (or more specifically Lost Temple) that achieves a level of chaos so high that you just stop caring." That's easy, I call that game "Citadels".
unlabelledView post →7 is tough. We usually opt for PitchCar, Citadels, Saboteur, Camel Up, or one of the any-player-count roll/flip and writes such as RR Ink or Welcome To. Otherwise we split into 2 tables and play the same game (if we have 2 copies in the group) or a similar length game.
unlabelledView post →boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/13... looks to be very similar to Citadels (and same designer) and is about old enough to be possible. No Witch though.
unlabelledView post →Paying so much attention to World Cup I forgot to do R32 transfers in fantasy game. But, we've had some great visitors over past few weeks, played a lot of Citadels and eaten well. And yes, I am vaguely following WC, but we don't have a TV licence and I have a weird sleeping pattern, so not much.
unlabelledView post →Finally made it back to game night after several weeks hiatus with everything else going on. Enjoyed a packed 8-player game of Citadels, an oldie but still good for the high player count
