Assassin's Creed: Arena

Players compete to identify and assassinate valuable targets in the city of Constantinople while avoiding guards and rival assassins. They collect cards and treasure, move through city districts, use tunnels, and manipulate guard positions with Event cards. Cards drive movement and combat, but also represent a player's health. Players replenish their hands by hiding or completing objectives, balancing the need to conserve cards against the risks of attacking targets, guards, and opponents. A six-sided die resolves some guard movement.
