"Nominated for the German Game of the Year in 2000, Citadels
has delighted gamers in English for years. Game enthusiasts of all
genres will be enchanted by this wonderful game of bluffing, deduction,
and city-building. Wrapped in a medival theme and gorgeously
illustrated, players seek to be the first to complete a grand city of
their own. Each game round players secretly take the roles of either
the King, Magician, Architect, Assasin, Thief, Bishop, Warlord, or
Merchant and seek to use the powers of such offices in their efforts to
win the game."
