Time to wheel out a rivals old-timer - no not Orhan, Citadels. With numbers up to six this evening the choice of games was pretty limited, but I found this one lurking at the back of the games cupboard. Last time we all played it, Kieron enjoyed it so much that he bought his own copy only to leave it in another country.
The game played slowly with six, the card selection phase taking long enough that there were plenty of opportunities to catch up on news. For the first few turns, Kieron felt a little picked on as he fell victim to the assassin and the thief.
As the game progressed, Orhan kept churning cards with the magician, but never quite seemed to find the right ones, Andy kept playing the king, but stayed out of trouble as no-one thought he'd be stupid enough to play it again. Kieron went after the merchant and assassinated anyone who dared take it off him. Through use of the magician and the architect I was able to quickly get out the five different colours needed for the bonus and then played out the last few to finish the game for the bonus and a win.
Final scores, David 35, James 29, Adrian 28, Orhan 24, Andy and Kieron both on 22.
