Citadels Duel (FR) takes the world of the famous Citadels and rebuilds it from the ground up as a two-player game. Each of you plays a rival city planner trying to build the most prestigious city and gain influence on the council. Every turn starts with a draft of Character cards: you keep some, pass some and discard some, then use your character's powers to earn gold, build districts and take control of buildings. The King's Guard protects certain districts, and you can also steal resources or disrupt your opponent's plans. The game ends when all 16 city spaces are filled: you then count the total cost of your districts, the gold on them and the council seats you hold.

Between bluffing, anticipation and tactical timing, each duel plays in about 30 minutes. It is a light strategy game where guessing your opponent's choice makes all the difference.

You will probably enjoy this game if you are looking for a two-player board game with lots of interaction, bluffing and a few dirty tricks, or if you already know Citadels and dream of a version tailored to the face-to-face duel.

It is not a shrunken version of the original game with half the components: it is a complete reimagining for two players, with a council board, district tiles and the King's Guard.

The game is by Bruno Faidutti, designer of the original Citadels, along with Guillaume Montiage and Manuel Rozoy.
