Story

You are a member of the Sisterhood, a guild of female assassins who survive by taking assassination contracts in return for payment. Like many others you were taken in when you were a young girl, orphaned and destined to spend the rest of your life in the factory. But the Sisterhood recognized your potential. And they were right… you turned out to be one of the most skilled assassins to ever walk the streets and roofs of 18th century Paris. When you have your sights on a target, they will soon be found dead in one of the many dark alleys. But your targets have become more careful, employing many elite guards. There are now so many that you are no longer safe on the rooftops. And starting a fight with an elite guard is not a good idea. Can you keep the Sisterhood's reputation alive by killing the targets your contract requires?

Gameplay overview

The game comes with 18 cards, 17 map cards and 1 action tracker card.

At the start of the game you will shuffle the 17 map cards to form the city. Each card has 1 target (blue), to gain points you must eliminate targets. But be carefull, don't let any guards (red) see you or you won't get the point.

To move around the city and assassinate targets and guards you will have to make use of your skills on the action tracker card. The way to use your actions is very simple, you can only perform an action connected to the last action you chose.

Actions

Each action has it's own use, and you will need to master all of them to get your targets. Every action except assassinate allows you to run around the streets and roofs of the city in a special way.

Jump

...lets you bridge a gap between two rooftops. But to be able to perform this action you need to run up to your jump first.

Descend

...allows you to jump down from the rooftops onto the ground. Just make sure you have enough space to roll and absorb the impact.

Climb

...is used to move up to the rooftops.

And lastly...

Assassinate

...silently kills guards that are standing in your way. And more importantly; kills your targets to allow you to score the card.

Game end

At the end of the game you will tally up your score, gaining 1 point for every target you managed to kill without alerting the guards.

If your score is higher than 12, than that is considered a win. But you can also compare your score to the handy chart that is included in the rules to see how well you did.
