9 Video Games You Didn't Know Were Turned Into Board Games (And How They Work)

First things first: can you jump into hay bales from ludicrous heights? Sadly, the answer to that question is no. But what you can do is play a thirty minute game with two to four players that revolves around killing people. So that's something.

In Assassin's Creed: Arena, players must compete to perform the most valuable assassinations. By collecting cards, treasure, dealing with guards, and utilizing stealth, you've got to time your assassination just right or risk failure.

Player health is linked to the amount of cards in hand, which are also used to perform actions, so there's an interesting kind of balance at play. And fortunately, just like in the video game, if you do happen to snuff it, you'll return at a nearby by spawn point. The game isn't particular deep mechanics-wise, but as a representation of the video game it's successful.
