Assassination

The instructions are strict... You focus on your target and nothing else.

Intelligence has discovered that a team of assassins will be arriving in the city for a top-secret meeting. Your squad’s assignment is to eliminate the assassins before they organize and attempt to assassin any of the top leaders. The instructions are strict... You focus on your target and nothing else, which means if fellow team member is about to be shot you cannot shoot to kill; you will need to stay focused on your target. For this mission to be successful you will need to reduce your target as soon as possible and then you can help your fellow team members. Can you stay focused? Will your sharpshooter training be enough to avoid assassination? You will find out soon.

Large or small teams can play this game. There needs to be an equal number of players on each team because each team member so everyone will have an assigned target. This game is very restrictive, but that is what makes it challenging.

Origins/History:

When the enemy has a key player, often taking out that player will be pivotal in taking the enemy down because all the followers scramble without a leader. Assassins are highly skilled in shooting but also camouflage, strategy, and anticipating the target’s moves. Often they infiltrate the enemy and wait for an opportune time to eliminate the target. Other times they are in and out without detection.
