Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood of Venice - a review of an adaptation that honours the principles of the video game franchise

Once upon a time, the Assassin's Creed video game franchise saw a very successful kickstarter campaign for the tabletop adaptation Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood of Venice, which after years of waiting finally reached backers. The game is co-operative for 1 to 4 players, who take on the role of four Assassins who have to help Ezio establish a new branch of the Assassin Brotherhood in Venice and find a piece of Eden before the Templars do.  The gameplay is a bit like the old computer Commandos, where you have to plan your Assassins' movements so that you can kill the guards without triggering any alarms and leave the map safely after completing the objective. Which is no coincidence, as Triton Noir's previous game, V-Commandos / V-Sabotage, was a de facto unlicensed adaptation in which you played as a WWII-era group of saboteurs, and from the looks of it, the games share some of the mechanics.  On the map, which is always set up for a specific mission, you have one or mor
