It's definitely a publisher's way that they're capitalizing on.
Mark JohnsonHOST
But I was interested in this because I never liked Citadels like everyone else did.
Mark JohnsonHOST
I liked the role selection, but I didn't like the rest of it.
Mark JohnsonHOST
Well, here comes this one.
Mark JohnsonHOST
So if you're on Board Game Arena and you freely join the Board Games To Go listeners group, you can join some of those games too.
Mark JohnsonHOST
Citadel's Duel is one that I played to finish and I really liked it.
Mark JohnsonHOST
I thought it was, besides the thrill of being able to play it online, I like what it did with Citadels.
Mark JohnsonHOST
It had the role selection.
ChrisHOST
All right, well, I got a chance to play a brand-new version of a game that I love, Tim.
ChrisHOST
I love Citadels.
ChrisHOST
Tim, do you love Citadels? Yes.
TimGUEST
Oh no.
TimGUEST
Damn it.
ChrisHOST
Yes.
ChrisHOST
So Tim, one of the reasons why I love Citadels is because it's a quasi social deduction game at some level, but it's actually a real Euro game.
ChrisHOST
And also because it's one of those kind of rare social deduction games where you're actually not targeting players, but you kind of are, but not directly.

Matt ThrowerHOST
It was one of the big games, right? It was one of the big games around if you were spending any time around in the hobby or on Board Game Geek, you would have come across mention of Bonanza in the same breath as things like Catan and Citadels and...
Matt ThrowerHOST
Carcassonne probably wasn't out then, but I can't remember.
Matt ThrowerHOST
But, you know, it was at that level, right? It was in that kind of space.

Nate OwensHOST
Every game was assumed to be 45 minutes to an hour long if it's a German game.
Nate OwensHOST
It was a different paradigm then than we have today.
Nate OwensHOST
And even like when the game I most compared Bonanza to is Citadels.
Nate OwensHOST
And I love Citadels too.
