## Description
Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood of Venice – Creed Versus Crows is the expansion that brings a fast-paced competitive mode to fans of the Assassin's Creed series who want to test their tactics in 30 to 60-minute games. The setting is the iconic Borgia Fortress in Venice, where two teams – the Assassins and the Crows – clash across 8 independent memories. Each game starts with players positioned on opposite sides of a modular board, and the goal is to complete a variety of objectives before the opposing team: destroy the enemy tower, capture strategic points, eliminate all opponents, and more. The twist is the presence of Mentors – Ezio Auditore or Cesare Borgia – who can be called upon to grant bonuses and shift the tide of battle. The fortress guards attack both sides, keeping tension high and forcing players to use stealth. The game blends action‑point mechanics, unpredictable events, and variable player powers that evolve during the turn, ensuring every playthrough feels fresh. High‑quality components, including detailed miniatures and modular maps, deliver a visually immersive experience. Designed for 2 to 4 players, Creed Versus Crows functions as a standalone module, letting players jump in and out without affecting the main campaign. If you’re looking for a tactical, quick, and twist‑heavy challenge, this expansion turns your game nights into a battle of strategy.
