A board game assembly and method of playing same

Abstract

A board (20) game includes kill zone spaces (32) on the board for allowing players, upon landing on a kill zone space (32), to hire an assassin to make an assassination attempt on another player. The player exchanges play money for an assassination card that is categorized into one of multiple levels representing the skill level of the assassin hired. The higher skilled assassins require more play money and are more likely to succeed in assassinating their target player. Similarly, the lower skilled assassins require less play money and are less likely to succeed. To succeed in assassinating a target player, the player making the assassination attempt rolls a pair of dice and compares the number shown on the dice to the numbers listed on the assassination card. If the number shown on the dice equals one of the numbers listed on the assassination card, the attempt is successful and the target player is eliminated.
