Hi Becca,
12:42 in the first round according to the rule book, the assassinated character should remain silent until the end of the round.
15:15 And also if you choose the king and you are assassinated, you have to take the crown in the end of the round anyway. you should started the next round. sad you didn't :(
18:49 thief can't rob rank 1 characters (Assassin, Witch, or Magistrate), the killed character, or the bewitched character.
30:52 if the king is faced up at the start of the round, it should be replaced with another card in the the dealer's hand. the king card should be shuffled back.
46:07 and 50:56 if a player chooses not to take gold and wants a card, they have to look at the top 2 cards of the District card deck, then choose ONE and return the other district card to the bottom of the deck.
sorry for the fuss, just wanted to share the right play :)
thank you for your lovely and fun videos :*

This series is getting better. The music helps, and speeding up the boring parts also works well.

Unless the rules have changed, when the King gets assassinated they still get the crown (as the heir to the throne) otherwise the first player could always select the assassin and never lose the crown. Additionally, the thief can’t steal from the Assassin... again, I have the classic FFG version so maybe it’s changed.

Also, at 33:40 Erica could have destroyed the Tavern which Dave had just built for *free*. The Warlord can destroy for 1 less cost *even if he also builds that turn*. It’s not either/or.

I used to play this card game a lot with some friends and I remember this one time one of the players showed his card before being called out because he was mad that someone killed him or robbed him I don't know and that completely ruined my whole strategy for that round which was something fucking epic, I am still a little bit mad!

I don't know much what everybody miss, i see actually an good game, very well presented, with tutorial on the start for those who dont know the game (the only suggestion is to make a timeline so everybody knows where tutorial and where actual gameplay) m i think they did pretty good job . still some miscorrection in rules was noticed ....

And there's a girl in this harbor town
And she works layin' whiskey down
They say, Brandy, fetch another round
She serves them whiskey and wine

As usual great episode love your videos but a couple notes on this one, there was some mistakes:
- Even if the king is assassinated it's the person how choose/has the king who gets the crown at the end (they are considered the "heir"), otherwise the king is very weak and nothing stops the first king player to assassinate the king every turn to keep the crown.
- Secondly, the thief cannot rob the assassin because he was already revealed before, it's the only character he cannot rob.
- Thirdly, the character who was assassinated is supposed to reveal at the end of the everyones turn (but that mechanic doesn't actually affect gameplay it's more for the "suspens")

49:57 King shouldn't be out there as a faceup card.

[GretSeat]

At around 46:20 Becca "Drew" 2 cards, when she should have taken 2 and discarded one.

[DunpileX]

Is no one else going to comment on B. David not choosing either cards or gold for like two rounds?!? He was the merchant and got all the extra gold but then stopped without ever actually make his normal turn choice of two gold or two cards and keep one!!!

[victorgonzalez]

The king still keeps the crown when assassinated and the player who is assassinated doesn’t reveal they are the assassinated character when their number is called.
Also the thief can’t target the Assassin.

We need to have more videos of people playing citadel on YouTube. I couldn't find any except this.

Great show. Picking a game I love, playing it with some happy people, it is well produced and of course Becca is fab...

[zephid]

warlord face = hilarious. "Uber canoe" lol

[FlavioMarceloSousa]

Wonderful show, very informative and entertaining.

[tomislavjozinovic]

You cant rob assassin, read the rules, also when someone is killed he/she is just killed and revel the card after warlord is play, after whole round

[ToCloseHuman]

As the magician, don't you pick a character to change cards with once their turn comes around?

[vlpngvn]

how am i doing? i'm confused because i remember the rules saying that you have to shuffle the king back if he's one of the face up discards.

48:40 The game does indeed get personal because of 3v1 attacks... that's Betrayal at House on the Hill for you... Whereas for Coup, ironically despite the more frequent attacks, they're all done in a free-for-all setting. I never found Coup antagonistic because attacking players are less personal.
