About the Game

The map on the game board represents an area of a country divided into thirty six sectors. In one sector there is an assassin waiting to commit a terrible crime. Players move around the board only to adjacent sectors or they may remain in the sector they are in, collecting information, checking out sectors - and finally, by shrewd deduction, determining the position of the elusive assassin.
