Key information
On October 7, 2026, Asmodee Digital officially added Citadels Duel to the Board Game Arena online platform. This title serves as a reimagined version of the award-winning board game Citadels, specifically tailored for head-to-head competition between two players.
The gameplay revolves around drafting characters with unique abilities to accumulate funds and place building cards. Players must strategically select characters each round, as the order in which these abilities are resolved significantly impacts the game's outcome. Outthinking the opponent is essential to gaining control over the city.
Building cards are placed in a shared area, and players can use character powers to seize control of buildings or defend their own sections. The game concludes once the 4x4 grid is filled, with the winner determined by points based on controlled districts and other factors.
The Board Game Arena introduction page lists the approximate play time as 20 minutes. Interested users can access a tutorial via the official announcement to learn the mechanics of this two-player rivalry.
