Citadels Duel (CZ)

Product detailed description

Two builders. One city. Endless rivalry.

In Citadels Duel, you and your opponent compete to design the kingdom's most profitable city buildings. Gain influence on the council, recruit powerful allies, build valuable structures, and try to outwit your opponent with every move. Once the city is complete, only one vision will outshine the rest!

Citadels Duel is a tense contest where cunning and ambition win the day. Two rival builders race to shape the future of the citadel, each trying to design district plans that bring the most wealth and lasting glory.

Build powerful structures across a variety of districts – from bustling trade quarters to imposing military fortresses – and recruit influential characters to your side, such as the cunning queen, the dangerous assassin, and the ruthless mercenary. Every ally you recruit could also benefit your opponent, so anticipate their moves and act decisively.

Once the last building is complete, the wealthier builder wins.

Why you should buy this game

• Citadels Duel was designed specifically for two players, so every decision targets a single opponent and no one waits around for other players' turns.
• Picking and passing characters forces you to track not just your own options but also the cards you sent across the table and what their new owner intends to do with them.
• The shared city gradually becomes a clear chronicle of your rivalry, with every tile showing either a successful plan or a wasted opportunity.
• The public offer of buildings lets you plan several moves ahead, while hidden unique buildings bring surprises and keep changing the available combinations.
• Nine distinct characters give you tools for building, resource management and direct interference, letting you continuously adapt your tactics to the city's development.
• The fight for council seats is no mere side effect, since the majority on the council grants an advantage during development and extra victory points at the end of the game.
• The royal guard creates a safe spot in an otherwise restless city, and moving it can protect your wealth or open the way to your opponent's building.
• A game takes place on a compact layout and lasts about half an hour, yet packs in character selection, resource management, building and the fight for control.
• Scoring rewards valuable buildings, saved coins and council influence alike, letting you seek your own path to dominance instead of a single correct strategy.
• A randomized starting setup and variable unique buildings ensure that the next duel never starts with the same problem or demands the same decisions as the previous game.
