Board Game Arena

Hello,

I noticed yesterday that the game Citadels which was in beta completely disappeared from the site and the direct link to the game page leads to an error.

Because I'd chosen this game for a multi-game tournament, can someone know why the game is not here anymore, if it'll come back and when ?

That's strange. How do games even disappear? I mean, what happens to all the tournaments currently playing, to the people competing in the arena season, and so on? What about the replays, are they gone too when a game is removed? What about your achievements and history?

We’ve had to lock the game and prevent any further table creation.

The game has been reverted to private status until further notice."

Why give a quote without source?

Probably because it's on the player group and you dont have access unless you have played it before ?
