How to Play Assassin

Prepare to Play Assassin

• 1

  Decide whether to play one-on-one or by teams.

• 2

  Choose an area of play. This can be a yard, a park, an entire city block or more. Find a place that won't be disturbed by other people during your game.

• 3

  Agree on a time limit. Play until 1 winner is left or for a set amount of time, such as 1 hour. Then whoever has the most "kills" wins.

• 4

  Pair up victims and assassins by name or by picking sealed envelopes with photos inside. Bring pictures or take some just before the game. Each player is both Assassin and victim, and gets the same number of "marks."

Play the Game Assassin

• 5

  Prepare your weapons and space players around the perimeter of the playing field. You can set a timer for a few minutes, and the beep means: "Assassins, go!"

• 6

  Stalk your particular victim. At first he won't know who is his assassin, so he may be easy to surprise. Victims are allowed to shoot in defense, though, and if shot, Assassins have to go back to the starting place and begin over.

• 7

  Shoot your victim to win a "kill." Then take your victim's next assignment and proceed to assassinate that person.
