Ubisoft’s latest game is about the troubled lives of the Assassins and their dependence on hay farmers. This 12^th century epic follows these mysterious men as they take a stab at turning the tide of the crusades. It is a strange time in which old men drug 12 year old boys and famous profits use influence machines to enhance their preaching.

Who were the assassins? What implications did their actions have on the future? Can we draw conclusions about our own lives by learning from their history? And, can a sandbox game be fun without explosives?
