	Description Edit \| History

An expansion for the German edition of the game. It included all the elements featured in the US and the 2nd French edition (new characters and districts), and some more stuff.

The Quarry allows you to build districts identical with districts you already have. The Imperial Treasury and the Fountain of Youth give you point bonuses at the end of the game. A bonus equal to the gold you own for the Imperial Treasury, a bonus equal to the number of purple buildings in your city for the Wish Fountain.

This expansion is now provided with the 3rd Edition of Citadels.
