Penny Assassin is a dice chucking assassination game for 1-4 players.

Run across rooftops, hide from guards, look for the perfect shot, and then slay the targets. The enemy guards are constantly on the move, so the players must look for the opportune passage to strike.

In Penny Assassin, you start as a lowly member of a gang. As you travel about the town of Rorcester, you get stronger and more powerful. Missions that took multiple turns in the beginning can be accomplished in a flash, at the end. This leads to a mad dash to the finish. Only one can become The Most Awesome Assassin.

1-4 players get 3 actions each, per turn. Players can move unlimited spaces around the board, until they need to perform an action, such as hiding, climbing, or shooting. Events bring new missions and orders for the guards and coppers. Completing missions brings nickels. Nickels and pennies gained can be used to move closer towards victory, or for gaining more power and better tools of the trade. This brings the battle of risk versus reward, as players vie for the best strategy to take down the targets.

Different characters, skills, abilities, weapons, and setups give lots of options to take down the many targets.

Can you become the Most Awesome Assassin?
