Assassin’s Creed: Animus is a game of adventure and rivalry, where each player enters the memories of a legendary assassin with unique abilities and goals. You'll choose a character with their own era, skills, equipment, and playstyle that shapes your experience. 1–4 players step into the shadows as legendary Assassins. Explore the past, strike down targets, and race to make your mark on history. Spend actions to move across the spaces of your era board, investigating special locations to gain their effects, and seeking out your enemies. A central memory deck reveals a stream of opportunities for different players including targets, challenges and special events. Combine the right skills and equipment for each scoring assassination attempt. Different targets will require different approaches!
Watch out for surprises - Animus cards from other players may increase the difficulty of the stealth and combat challenges you'll face.
Once four targets are eliminated by a single player, the assassin with the highest score (earned through their speed, precision, and tactical play) claims victory.
