## Description
King & Assassins is an asymmetrical strategy game for two players, where one takes the role of a tyrannical king and his knights, while the other controls an angry mob with three hidden assassins. The king's goal is to reach the castle or eliminate all assassins, while the assassins must kill the king or stall him until the action deck runs out. With action points and grid movement mechanics, each round is a battle of wits and planning. The game features two different scenarios and beautiful artwork that immerses you in this medieval conflict full of betrayal. Will the king escape, or will the mob overthrow him? Every face in the crowd could hide a deadly assassin!
