Review: King and Assassins
Posted by James (admin) on 16th July 2014
King and Assassins is an asymmetric, 2-player game where the King player controls the king and his knights; whereas, the Assassin player controls the villagers in the town of which 3 are assassins who are trying to kill the king.
The rules are simple. Each player has a number of action points (APs) to spend on their turn which can be used to move their figures, make attacks, etc. Each turn, a card is drawn which determines how many APs the King player can spend (there are separate amounts for the king and to be spent amongst the knights), plus it shows if a knight can arrest 1 villager that turn (permanently removing it). Also, each card shows how many APs the Assassin player can spend on their villagers/assassins too. If the cards run out or the king is killed (wounded twice) before reaching the castle, the Assassin player wins. Read the rest of this entry »
