Assassinorum: Execution Force is a board game released in 2015 for 1–4 players, 60 minutes per game, and ages 12 and up. Its main mechanics are Variable Player Powers, Dice Rolling, and Cooperative Game.
From the publisher: Assassinorum: Execution Force gives four Imperial Assassins an incredibly important mission - slay Chaos Lord Drask before his dark ritual brings about the end of the Imperium itself! A fast-paced co-operative game for one to four players, it blends stealth, tactics, subtle forward-thinking and outright blazing violence into a fantastic, tense, action-packed experience that is accessible to board game players of any level. It contains everything you need to play to defeat the Chaos Space Marines Sorcerer. Included in the box are four beautiful, exclusive Imperial Assassin miniatures - the Vindicare Assassin, armed with an Exitus Rifle and pistol, clad in a stealth suit; the Callidus Assassin, wielding a C’tan Phase sword, neural shredder and poison blades; the Eversor Assassin, with Executioner pistol and Neuro Gauntlet and the Culexus Assassin, with his psyk-out grenades. On top of these, you get fifteen Chaos Cultists, three Chaos Space Marines, a Chaos Familiar and a Chaos Space Marine Terminator Sorcerer. On top of these incredible miniatures, there’s a set of detailed board tiles on heavy card stock, a deck of Event Cards, counters for various events in different shapes, sizes and designs and included dice.
Assassinorum: Execution Force supports 1–4 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Assassinorum: Execution Force is 60 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Assassinorum: Execution Force for ages 12 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Assassinorum: Execution Force has a complexity rating of 2.1 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
