    A good adaptation of the board game, modernizing the spirit of chess, playing on bluffing and anticipation. The interest of King and Assassins remains very focused on multiplayer games or parties for both on the same device. Solo, the repetition of the parts may be annoying quickly.

    Kings and Assassins might not have much allure for the solo board gamer, but it's hard to beat when it comes to multiplayer.

    A well designed and quick playing abstract strategy game that unfortunately becomes repetitive after only a few plays.
