Praetorian

Praetorian

Designer: Kirk Uhlmann
Publisher: About.com: 2002 Unequal Forces Game Design Competition
Type: Board
Status: Free
Available from: http://boardgames.about.com/library/games/on/bl-unequal-praetorian.htm

Components:

  • One 8x8 grid board (e.g. chess)
  • 2 Pieces to represent the praetorian guards/police (e.g. two rooks)
  • 24 unique pieces to represent the civilians (e.g. bingo markers 1-24, or labeled checkers 1-24 -- or any other grouping of 24 distinctive pieces)

The Assassin player secretly chooses one of the 24 civilian pieces to be the Assassin. It is the job of the Praetorian player to find out who the assassin is. But he must be very careful, because the Assassin will try to eliminate both of his praetorians!
