Cult of the Old - Citadels | Cult of the Old

Welcome to the latest episode of Cult of the Old!   Each episode your hosts Iain McAllister, Matt Thrower, and Nate Owens are going to turn back the clock to look at games that are at least 10 years old. They’ll give their own critical impressions, tell you about the history of the game and its impact, and what relevance these games still have in the modern hobby landscape.    This episode the team is turning to their first small box game of the season. A game with a mean streak that brought the mechanism of role selection to the modern hobby audience and made a name for its designer. Citadels from designer Bruno Faidutti and publisher Hans im Glück was a staple of every backpack. Across the various versions it has art from Cyrille Daujean, Julien Delval, Jesper Ejsing, Bruno Faidutti, Didier Graffet, Bjarne Hansen, Darrell Hardy, Florence Magnin, Jean-Louis Mourier, Scott Nicely, Hassan Nozadian, Christian T. Petersen, Brian Schomburg, and Richard Spicer.   Show Links   Below are links to the games and anything else that the team mentions during the course of the cast.  We will be linking to BGG for games, designers, artists, and publishers as that is a good place to start for raw information about the game in question.   Games Mentioned   Castle (Castel) Verräter  Meuterer Werewolf Five Tribes 7 Wonders Duel  Lords of Vegas  Blood on the Clocktower Puerto Rico Mission: Red Planet El Grande Mascarade Survive/ Escape from Atlantis Cockroach Poker Carta Impera Victoria   Other Mentions   Faiduttis perfect game library Complexity and Depth article from Iain Iain’s Collection  Team Links   Websites you can find the cast on There Will Be Games The Cult of the Old   Iain The Giant Brain Twitter   Matt Twitter   Nate Twitter   Support us on Ko-Fi   https://ko-fi.com/cultoftheold   Email us at [email protected]
