<p>The rules do not say that you cannot build a 9th district with your 2nd character. It simply states that once the 8th district is built, the current round will be the last round. So each player gets two turns during each round, and you have to finish all of the turns for the final round. <strong>Yes, you may build an additional district.</strong></p>

I think you're right. I actually realized the architect could do the same, building up to 3 districts if he wants at the last round. There's no rule preventing him from doing so either. Thank you for your answer.

Yes. So your first character could build the 8th district, then if Architect was the second character they could build districts 9,10,11 (if you had the money or they were cheap, or with the help of some purple rules-modifying districts)

Page 7 of my physical rulebook also says *"Note: Players **may** build more than eight districts in their city if they have the means to do so"*

<p>In Citadels, if a player builds his 8th building we finish the round with the remaining roles and the game ends.</p>

<p>In 2-3 players rules, I may build the 8th district with my first character. When comes the second character's turn, can I build an additional district?</p>

In 2-3 player Citadels, can your second character build a 9th district?

# In 2-3 player Citadels, can your second character build a 9th district?

(Asked by: username_0 on 2015-03-11)

In Citadels, if a player builds his 8th building we finish the round with the remaining roles and the game ends.

In 2-3 players rules, I may build the 8th district with my first character. When comes the second character's turn, can I build an additional district?
