The 7th Citadel is a cooperative exploration and adventure board game with mechanics inspired by choose-your-own-adventure books.
In The 7th Citadel, you face a Threat which will inevitably come down on you (unless you perish before you get there!).
Each Threat comes in the form of a booklet comprising several scenarios that follow one another, until the final scenario where you either win the game or succumb to the Threat.
The 7th Citadel carries over the best aspects of The 7th Continent: huge territory to explore, hidden numbers to spot, botany, etc.
Each Threat will take you through many hours of adventure. To make this manageable, the game includes a simple yet effective saving system that allows you to quickly interrupt the game at any time and have it ready for your next session, just like in a video game.
This game was funded via Kickstarter with the support of 33 353 backers.
The 7th Citadel carries over the best aspects of The 7th Continent: huge territory to explore, hidden numbers to spot, botany, etc.However, many changes make it a brand new game:
- An original, post-apocalyptic medieval fantasy setting to discover,
- The game is less about survival (crafting, hunting, die-and-retry) and more about narrative adventure,
- Customize your personal Action Deck, choosing your skills to make your character unique,
- Interact with the many inhabitants (NPCs) of these lands thanks to more than 600 dialogues,
- Send scouts to map the Collapsing Lands and update your old world map,
- Return to the Citadel between two scenarios, and build many helpful buildings to use their abilities for the rest of your adventure!
