I watched this even though I already own this game for 10 years! I love this game and is very fun!
Glad it's one you've enjoyed! Thanks for watching and leaving the kind comment :)
This has to be my favorite game with "social deduction" elements. A friend introduced me to the older version. The new art looks so spiffy! Might need to buy my own copy.
I hope you continue to enjoy it, if you do!
Thanks for covering my favorite game - great video. I've taught this one so many times I've discovered folks tend to pick it up a little quicker if I cover the basics first. I show them their options on their turn - take gold/districts then build a district - next turn. Then I introduce the characters after this makes sense.
You are one of the main people who got me interested in the hobby in the first place, now i have such an unweildy collection. Thank you for making these amazing videos!
So glad you've been enjoying the hobby :)
This is another one I just recommended because of your video. It's easy to teach people how to play and they were looking for fun party games.
*Well, not exactly all party games, but fun games to play with a group of 6 I probably should have said.
what an incredibly slick and informative video. thank you for all your hard work.
Thank you kindly!
Rodeny thanks a lot for this. I just got this game recently to introduce to my colleagues for a bigger player count game night. Super clean tutorial. This channel never fails. ❤
I hope you all have a great time paying together :)
There is a lot of strategy in this game, even though it is relatively easy to learn! Thanks for sharing, Rodney! We love being introduced to games through your videos!
And I love having you here to check them out - thanks for the kind words Ben!
Literally about to go on a board game session with my friend, and this video came out at pretty much at the perfect time, thanks a ton!
Hey hey, so glad the timing was good - hope you had fun playing!
Great How To video. Its clear, doesn't do any extra nonsense to sell the video and after it's done I have a clear understanding of how to set up and play the game. Subscribed after watching!
Hey, very glad you enjoyed - welcome to the channel!
I really like the new flourishes that highlight the info you are discussing.
Thanks Aaron, glad you're liking that added touch.
Me too!
Great addition the videos. Very helpful.
I've watched this and played the game with friends once. After rewatching it I see couple of things we have missed, but definitely play more :D Thanks for your quick explanation!
You're very welcome - have a great time playing!
Great video for the greatest boardgame! Greetings from Spain!
I am always impressed by your smooth game toss and catches. Do you (almost) always nail those on one take?
But of course ;)
I was looking for some fun games for when game night ends up with a large group of gamers, 6-8. As the majority of my great games only accommodate 1-4 or 5 players. This was one of my selections. Can't wait to play. Thanks for the run down!
I hope you all have fun playing!
Great tutorial as usual!
Very kind of you to say!
Watched this even though I'm not interested in Citadels. It's great to see another How to Play video, and I hope you're feeling better Rodney!
I'm recovering nicely. This the video shot when it all happened, but I was moistly done it, thankfully :)
What happened?
@@immortalsun he had appendicitis. He's back in action now though 😁
@@Lord_Gold Oh, that’s great!
(Not the appendicitis part but the back in action part.)
One of my favorite games. Easy to learn and play, but lots of fun. As usual, great video.
Thank you kindly Rex!
i dont know what about that was easy to learn. the video contained more information than a whole year of mathematics at school. i have no idea how i could ever remember all that
that was a great presentation thank you very much
You're very welcome!
I have this game and have always wanted to try it but don't have enough friends who are interested in playing it. I think it looks so up my alley.
Hope you get a chance in the future!
Another super video!!!
Thanks Teej :)
Great video!
Thank you Henri!
Notice how the color behind ecah characters rank, match the color of the building type they get gold from :)
A good thing to know if you cant remember which symbol belongs belongs to which character..
god you're a fantastic bloke thanks for all the tutorials Rodney
Thank you kindly Glen.
Great game. Always work well.
Glad this is one you've enjoyed!
Thank you so much for that
You're very welcome!
This has some interesting mechanics
That’s a neat box you have there. Mine is quite bigger, for no particular reason - well, the rulebook is big and fits exactly, but it looks like it can be redesigned to be smaller.
Yes, I think they redesigned the box for this release.
Nice video. Keep it and you'll have my whole stockpile of bacon in no time.
I'm working on it!
I love citadels❤
this is my favorite game of all time.
Hey hey, glad we could cover it!
It's such a beautiful design of checks and balances. Playing 7 players where everyone is engaged (& crafty) is a superb gaming experience.
@@acosarismo I think playing with 3 or two players is way better. The assassination is not as harshly. Having two character gets a whole other level of strategic deepht and fun.
@@hugotavaresgomes9539 I've played with 2, 4, 5 and 7 and I can tell you that 7 & 2 were my favourite experiences. Super fun and interesting.
I have to say I've noticed i'm drawn to a game and more inclined to purchase it when "and thats the set up" is said around the 3-4 min mark.
Some games certainly do have shorter setups than others.
A classic!
Indeed!
Thanks for the video! Do you think this game could be played by kids as old as 7? Do they need to be able to read or is it sufficient for the adults to read out loud the special abilities for them to help them decide? Cheers.
Hey there Slatanina. I tend to avoid trying to answer questions like this, as it is so dependent on the player. I know some very young kids who could play a game like this and some very old adults who would struggle. There's no one easy answer, unfortunately. Hopefully the video can give you a sense based on the people you have in mind.
The Dice Tower has the components emptying out. Watch It Played has the 360 box flip.
I don't know if this is related to this being a new version, but I remember a rule that you can't build the same district (the same name) twice in your city. Great video as always btw. I love this game.
That rule is also stated in this video. Glad you liked the video!
The character cards remind me of Love Letter
I think they might be the same artist!
Oh I hope your appendix felt OK as you filmed this !
This is the one where I discovered my Appendix troubles!
What's the name of the song at the beginning?
It's so nostalgic for me
Book Bag.
I can't see that game title without hearing Eric Summerer of The Dice Tower yelling "Citadeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeels!"
Same here :)
For Eric Summerer:
CITADELS!!!!!!!
How much coins does warlord have to cost for one coin structure area? 1 coin or none?
None in that case.
You're pro
Hi Rodney - I know it's easy to look it up yourself.... but there is no link to the BGG page of Citadels.
I was just coming in here to add it :) All set!
Hi, could you please make a playthrough of Brazil: Imperial?
Watching from Indonesia 🇮🇩
Thanks for the interest! I talk a bit about that here: czcams.com/video/EdtDuvIUa6A/video.html&t=342
@@WatchItPlayed I see, do apologize us for pressuring you to make a video about game that you didnt planned. The point is 'do what you love' hence makes one life happier :).
About Brazil Imperial, first time I saw it was in one of the video from this channel, the one which your friend talk about best 10 incoming 2021 new games. The game looks breathtaking I fall in love instantly, but so far all the videos reviewing, playthroughing, or even unboxing the game are none in english! (I wonder why).
Btw I'm from Indonesia, even tho in boardgame world Asia is kinda left behind (coz majority of BG is produced in EU, hence the genre Eurogame) but there are many boardgame lover in Asia. In my home country we have many communities scattered in all major islands. Sadly i read somewhere that this Brazil Imperial game I want only on sale in Asia in somewhere 2022, tho it already sold in America in October 21 :(.
Kudos to you Rodney, I enjoyed all your tutorial, imho you are the best tutor coz you make even the most complicated and difficult game easy to learn and also your english is easy to understand by us non-english mother tongue.
Looking forward to your next video, much love from 🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩.
P.s (still hoping that you will finally make review and playtrough about Brazil: Imperial in near future lol)
@@anggitaputri3123 I didn't feel pressured. Its a fine question - I just have to have an easy answer to give when I get this answer, as I get these kinds of questions regularly. Thanks for your interest, and kind words! Happy gaming from Canada!
Which version is this? I see a couple different versions out there with the same design (not classic). Is there a preference?
I'm not sure how to answer other than to say this is the "newest" version.
@@xshadowscreamx Radio is right. Good explanation.
@@xshadowscreamx Thanks... that's what I was looking for. There is a smaller box version of the same game but they (newer version(s)) are both the same.
Love this game, though it's a lot harder to find the money to play cards.
Glad this is one you've enjoyed!
Shouldn't you deal the face up cards first and then the face down? That way if the King comes in the face up cards and you return it, it might still come in the face down card. Otherwise cards like Assassin or the Robber will know for sure that someone will be dealt the King. I have only played the original and I can't remember the rules but that's the way I play the game.
The way it's described here is correct.
@@WatchItPlayed btw awesome video! I really enjoy seeing them even if I know how to play a game!
Can't hear this game mentioned without hearing Eric Summerer's voice.
Me too :)
How would you build more than 7 if you can only build one per turn?
It's been awhile since I shot this, but I believe (if I'm remembering correctly), that there are card effects that allow you to perform more than 1 build in a single turn.
I haven't played this in years, though from what I remember, the artwork for the characters are different
very, they lost the original art in a flooding in the studio. the originals were all hand maded. this one is less 80s rpg, and more family friendly.
Yes, I've heard it changed.
Rodney, how can you, in good conscience, title this video "Citadels - How To Play" if you've left out the most important instruction one can give to a new Citadels player? At NO POINT in this entire 14 minute video did you instruct the viewer not to eat the coins even though they clearly resemble delicious butterscotch candies.
A grave oversight indeed!
HA HA that is the FIRST thing I thought they looked like when I saw those coins! XD Fortunately I don't like butterscotch!
Why did they change the artwork?!? And my rulebook says it ends at 8 districts, have they simplified it down to 7?
Hey there, these sound more like questions for the designers/publishers. Those aren't things I'd know the answer to.
That must be an exceedingly wealthy and very bored King :P
Right?!!
epiccccc
Thanks for checking it out Juanro!
I already know the rules to Citadels, I just don't know how to play well. But I don't think any amount of videos can help me with that.
Ha! Who knows, maybe the next time you play it will be different :)
