In special 2-3 player versions of the game each player controls multiple characters during the action phase. Rules vary as to which cards are placed out of play. As well, they have put out a video that details instructions for playing Codenames over the internet (you need to own a copy of the game), as well as a video that shows how to play Trapwords remotely (again, you need to own the game).

Citadel: A Quest Within a Wizard's Tower is a fantasy board game published in 1976 by Fantasy Games Unlimited. When a player 'builds' their eighth district card in their tableau, the game ends and points are tallied. Bonus points are awarded for building the maximum 8 districts, being the first to do so, and having a district of each possible color (purple, yellow, red, blue, green). Doorways: The player must also place at least two entrance doorways and two exit doorways on each level. Doorways can be either one-way or two-way. On one of the levels, the player places the Main Entrance, where the Heroes will enter the Citadel. What I like about Citadels is that it takes the hidden character deduction game to another level with a city building mechanic, and for the most part it works really well. Having all the expansions included – which means you have more than just the original 8 characters to choose from – makes the game more playable as you don’t feel like you are doing the same thing game after game. When comparing this version next to my original version, the cards are better quality, the plastic coins are a step-up to the cardboard coins in my original, and the 3D printed crown is a nice touch for the first player token.

Abbot (No. 5 and Blue) - May collect gold pieces equal to the number of blue buildings in their tableau (i.e. in their personal playing field). Forces the player with the most gold to give them 1 gold. Artist (No. 9) - May "beautify" up to two buildings by placing a gold on them. "Beautified" buildings both cost one more gold to destroy or trade AND score one more point at the end of the game. Each building may only be "beautified" once per game. Merchant (No. 6 and Green) - May collect gold pieces equal to the number of green buildings in their tableau (i.e. in their personal playing field). Collects an extra gold piece after taking an action during the action phase. (Regardless of if they take gold or cards as income). To construct districts within your city, you must possess enough gold equal to or greater than their cost. Some districts offer special abilities once built, while others grant additional actions during gameplay. Choosing strategically which districts to construct based on available resources and potential benefits can greatly influence your overall success in the game.They have also released another new parallel investigator for print-and-play: “Skids” O’Toole with the All or Nothing challenge scenario.

Navigator (No. 7) - After taking income, receive either four gold or four cards. They MAY NOT build any district cards this turn. If the Good player succeeds in moving the Talisman through the main entrance, Good prevails. If the Good player runs out of heroes before the Talisman reaches the Main Entrance, then the Evil player wins. The expansion set includes a set of eight new characters, [2] any of which can be swapped for their numerical counterpart (i.e. a game could not have the Witch and the Assassin, as they are both Character No. 1): Deadwood (you need money, poker chips, penny-sized counters, a handful of D6 plus distinct D6 for each player)In this episode, we each share the top ten items from our 2023 Holiday Wishlists. Some practical and others, not so much. Traps: The player can also place up to two sinkholes (10 points each), and up to three pitfalls (5 points each). The player cannot place the Talisman behind an impassable sinkhole, and must place minions and obstacles so that they are accessible from every square on that level without having to pass through another marker. The Citadel Colour Contrast Paint Set includes a range of colors that can be used to create striking effects on your models. From rich golds and bronzes to deep blues and purples, this set provides a versatile selection of contrast colours that can be mixed and matched to achieve your desired look. Assessing Player Behavior: One important aspect of advanced strategy is observing and analyzing the behavior of other players. Pay attention to their actions, role choices, and decision-making patterns. This information can inform your own strategy by helping you anticipate their moves and adjust accordingly. For example, if a player consistently chooses roles with high income-generating abilities, it may be wise to prioritize roles with gold-stealing powers.

XYZ Game Labs is offering a free print and play of their Robotlab Card Card ( Read About It | Print and Play) Each paint in the set is formulated with a high pigment density and a unique flow formula that allows the paint to settle in the recesses of your models while still providing bright, vibrant coverage on the raised surfaces. This innovative formula saves hobbyists and painters time and effort, as they can achieve stunning results with just one layer of paint. This player also kept a close eye on the roles chosen by other players, adapting their strategy accordingly. By effectively using deception and misdirection, Player A managed to sow discord among opponents and secure victory. Case Study 2: The Economic Tycoon They have also released a digital version of Codenames Duet. Yes, you can play full games of Codenames Duet online for free. Designer Bruno Cathala is offering PQltistes as a free print and play (PQ is a French term for toilet paper, this is a silly game about Toilet Paper Wars, the rules are in French)Czech Games is offering a print and play edition of Under Falling Skies ( Rules | Regular Size Cards | Oversized Cards). Player B carefully invested their resources into purchasing valuable district cards and special abilities that bolstered their income even further. By amassing a substantial fortune, Player B was able to construct high-value districts efficiently and outmaneuver opponents through financial superiority. Case Study 3: The Rapid Expansionist Citadels is a German-style card game, designed by Bruno Faidutti, originally published in French as Citadelles by MultiSim in 2000, illustrated by Julien Delval, Florence Magnin, Jean-Louis Mourier and Cyrille Daujean as graphic designer for the first edition. Sometime later, Citadels was published in German as Ohne Furcht und Adel, which means "Without Fear or Nobility". [1] For example, the Assassin allows you to eliminate other players’ characters, while the Magician allows you to exchange cards with another player. By familiarizing yourself with each role’s abilities and how they align with your overall strategy, you can maximize your chances of success. Card Management: Balancing Short-Term and Long-Term Goals The game ends when one player constructs their eighth district, then the final scoring begins with each district being worth a certain number of points and bonus points for the player who built all eight of their districts.
