About the game
Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood of Venice is a cooperative miniatures game that drops players into a story-driven campaign of 26 missions set in Renaissance Venice, 1509. Players choose assassins with unique abilities, leveling them up and unlocking new skills as the campaign unfolds. Combat, stealth, and clever use of tools crafted by Leonardo da Vinci let you fight or evade your way through each mission, while a flexible save system allows the number of players to change between sessions. Bribery, secret hideouts, and mechanism-flipping level changes add tactical texture to every memory you explore.
Hobbli's Notes
Hobbli's editorial team appreciates how well this game translates the stealth-and-parkour fantasy of the video game series into tabletop form through its varied mission structure and character progression. The flexible player count and save system make it easy to pick up a campaign with a changing group, a rare feature for story-driven miniature games. Fans of the video game franchise will enjoy meeting familiar historical and fictional personalities throughout the campaign. It's a strong choice for groups wanting a narrative-heavy cooperative adventure.
What we like
- Flexible player count and save system across campaign sessions.
- Rich character progression with unique assassin abilities.
- Strong narrative tie-in for Assassin's Creed fans.
- High-quality miniatures and detailed mission variety.
Keep in mind
- Long campaign commitment (26 missions) requires sustained group interest.
- Playtime of 90+ minutes per session can add up quickly.
- Complexity may be daunting for players unfamiliar with campaign games.
Who it's for
Great for cooperative gaming groups of 1-4 players aged 12+ who are fans of the Assassin's Creed franchise and enjoy campaign-style miniature adventures.
