Players seek to build a collection of districts worth from one to eight points. Once someone has built eight districts, the game is over after that round ends, and the player with the highest total value wins. However, to facilitate the process (and make the game interesting), players sequentially choose a character from a rapidly dwindling pool of eight each turn. The characters give players special abilities for the turn.
Citadels had a separate expansion, Citadels: The Dark City Expansion, but the new (3rd Edition) Fantasy Flight editions come with the expansion included (the Hans im Glück tin box also included it). With the newer version that includes Dark City, or the Dark City expansion purchased separately, this game can take 2 to 8 players.
A second edition of the German version of the game came in a tin box and included the Dark City expansion as well as three additional cards. It is separately listed at Citadels.
Here is a simple document that I print double-sided, fold up, and throw into the game box. When my wife pulls it out to play with friends (or when we loan it) it is easier to read and understand then the full rules, and gets them going quicker.
These are small cut-out descriptions of each card fully worded since the original text left a lot of holes in the rules.
To use:
Print and cut out along the lines.
Get card sleeves for your cards.
Put the slips of paper in the sleeves with the appropriate card.
*Might help to get non-clear sleeves.
