About this product
A clever city-building card game full of bluffing, role-drafting, and delicious little betrayals.
A celebrated modern classic in a more portable format, with the same intrigue, deduction, and strategy players love.
Draft secret roles, collect gold, build districts, and outplay your rivals on the way to becoming Master Builder.
Why you’ll love it
- Bluffing and mind games in every round – players secretly choose characters, so reading the table matters almost as much as building well.
- Loads of variety – with 27 unique character cards, different powers, and shifting player choices, the game stays fresh from one session to the next.
- Portable and easier to store – this revised edition keeps the deluxe content in a more travel-friendly box with standard-sized cards for easier carrying and setup.
- Strategic but social – you are building your own city, but you are also bluffing, blocking, and second-guessing everyone else at the table.
- Works across a wide player range – from smaller game nights to fuller group sessions, Citadels handles a broad table well.
- Premium touches still included – the revised edition keeps the plastic gold coins and sculpted plastic crown, which add a fun tactile feel to play.

Good to Know
- This revised edition keeps the content of the deluxe version in a smaller, more portable package.
- It is a great fit for players who enjoy bluffing, deduction, and interactive strategy rather than quiet multiplayer solitaire.
- Because characters are drafted in secret, the game rewards table awareness, timing, and a slightly suspicious eyebrow.
