Card Game · Spies / Secret Agents

Assassin

Players move around a map of Europe, scoring points for each destination they reach. Card play determines destination, transportation method, and distance traveled. Players may play hazard cards to block or slow down their opponents. One of the players is the assassin and scores bonus points by getting a "hit" on one of the other players. Game length is variable: when a weapon card is drawn by a player, it is placed on the map. When the fourth weapon card is drawn, the game ends.

About the game

What is Assassin

The game is a revised version of EuroHit.

[Below descriptive text from the box back]

Assassination has been the tool of the desperate and the ruthless seeking change since time immemorial. The course of mankind's bloody history has taken many a turn due to the assassin's bullet. Any successful leader--whether criminal, business scientific religious or political--can suddenly become a target in these modern days. The assassin strikes without warning, at the least expected time from the last expected quarter. Be he professional or amateur, the assassin's primary weapon is his ability to blend with his background, to be "one of the crowd". It is his skill at doing so that enables him, like the hunter in the wild, to surprise and kill his quarry. Unbeknownst to you, the world's greatest assassin could be your brother or sister, your spouse, your child or parent, or your friend seated beside you. Perhaps you yourself are the next "Jackal".
