The rules are explained very quickly (can be difficult for a simple game with some strategy), and that one is strong or not in tactics, everyone can win and even very fun way. Whether you are a fan of middle-age or small heroic-fantasy you should find there your account, enabling the graphics to set the mood; even with those very fun characters.
The principle 'basic' is simple you ask neighborhoods cards on the table from a huge stack, 1 is 'in principle' the lining 8 for completing its citadel (the cost being symbolized by small pieces of nice gold plastic). Where the game takes all its depth and / or fun is that each round you will have the opportunity to change roles at once by choosing the (hidden card to the other) and trying to guess those we eventually chose your opponents (since there are 8 roles and each is only available in one copy, you can only choose what remains available). I will not go into the details of each but it will keep the King who is to choose + 1 brings in gold on neighborhoods 'noble' - the murderer who will appoint a person preventing him from playing this turn. Despite well varied and very entertaining roles of the characters, the game seems very balanced.
To advise everyone and for every budget!
