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! ## FAQ ### How long does a game take? About 30 minutes, perfect for a quick and intense session. ### Does it need a big table?
