Welcome to AssassinCon, the annual convention where assassins meet to show off tools and skills and decide who is the best in the world! This year the contenders have decided to take it out of the judge's hands. Do you have what it takes? AssassinCon uses an interesting hidden movement mechanism to capture the atmosphere of an event in which anybody could be out to get you. A player knows who their assassin is in real life, but not who they are playing in the game. They move around by secretly playing movement cards that are all shuffled together before being read and played. The goal is to catch your target while evading your assassin. Points are scored for successfully assassinating a player, identifying your would-be killer, or scaring players into making mistakes as a ghost from beyond the grave, so even dead players are still in on the action! Can you safely navigate the treacherous crowds of the most dangerous AssassinCon yet?
