King & Assassins*

King and Assassins is an asymmetric strategy and deception game for two players. One player controls a despised king and his knightly retainers, attempting to break through a mob of angry citizens into the castle. The other player commands the mob and three hidden assassins, aiming to eliminate the king before he can escape or be overwhelmed by his own subjects. Players must strategically use action cards that dictate their moves each turn, and victory conditions differ for both sides, making for an engaging and tactical experience.
