A hand holds Citadels site cards above a table. A king token and other cards sit on the table.
We didn't have a quorum for playing D&D tonight so we played Citadels. I had forgotten how fun that hidden role, city building game can be.

Citadels by Z-Man Games
Machiavelli by 999 Games
In some European countries, Citadels (one of my all-time favourite board games) is called Machiavelli, and that's a way better description of the game!

Chapter 3 explores the rise of citadels—early settlements that funneled the products of many to a small elite. How did citadels shape their societies? #Archaeology #Citadels #Inequality

![The Tower of London, officially His Majesty's Royal Palace and Fortress of the Tower of London, is a historic citadel and castle on the north bank of the River Thames in central London, England. It lies within the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, which is separated from the eastern edge of the square mile of the City of London by the open space known as Tower Hill. It was founded toward the end of 1066 as part of the Norman Conquest. The White Tower, which gives the entire castle its name, was built by William the Conqueror in 1078 and was initially a resented symbol of oppression, inflicted upon London by the new Norman ruling class. The castle was also used as a prison from 1100 (Ranulf Flambard) until 1952 (Kray twins),[3] although that was not its primary purpose. A grand palace early in its history, it served as a royal residence. As a whole, the Tower is a complex of several buildings set within two concentric rings of defensive walls and a moat. There were several phases of expansion, mainly under kings Richard I, Henry III, and Edward I in the 12th and 13th centuries. The general layout established by the late 13th century remains despite later activity on the site.
The Tower of London has played a prominent role in English history. It was besieged several times, and controlling it has been important to controlling the country. The Tower has served variously as an armoury, a treasury, a menagerie, the home of the Royal Mint, a public record office, and the home of the Crown Jewels of England. From the early 14th century until the reign of Charles II in the 17th century, the monarch would traditionally prepare for several nights at the Tower, and lead a procession from there to Westminster Abbey for their coronation. In the absence of the monarch, the Constable of the Tower was in charge of the castle. This was a powerful and trusted position in the medieval period.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:5xm3hcd4l2tvz7w7hgitchla/bafkreihhf362w3y67zlfv7qyyo3rj5xslkhkpxw5msbbgwy3gozkevisry)
