Assassin

You have a target. You also are a target. Don’t get caught.

How to play

• At game start, every player is assigned a target (another player).
• Your job: get close to your target without them noticing, and tag them.
• When you tag your target, you take over their target — the chain continues.
• If someone tags you, you’re out.

Setup

• 4+ players.
• Place a generous Play area — assassin games reward stealth, so room to lurk matters.

Winning

The last player alive wins. Their final kill chain becomes the legend.

Tips

• Don’t reveal who your target is. Walk past them casually.
• Watch your own back — your assassin is watching you walk past your target.

For builders

• Demonstrates: assign_cycle in onStart to build a single target chain with no fixed points, identity checks with { ref: "other.id" } vs { ref: "same.state.targetId" }, and inheriting your victim’s target on a kill.
