<p>The Dark City expansion increases replay value for casual play by adding extra character roles. But what about tournament play? Is there a combination of characters that is commonly used in a tournament setting? Or maybe there's a character (or combination of characters) that's banned/excluded from official events?</p>

<p>There already is a (somewhat subjective) <a href="https://boardgames.stackexchange.com/questions/1502/what-is-the-most-balanced-competitive-character-set-in-citadels">question</a> about balance and preference. I'm looking for a source with authority, like a publisher, or (inter)national tournament host, or anything that comes close.</p>
