The shiny, new, coloured ruleset is live! Head over to the rules page to check out what's new.

The Durham University Assassins Society is one of the most active Assassins Societies in the world. We run at least one full time game in each term and have regular socials and shorter games all through the year.

Our games are extremely varied. Longgames involve members of the society hunting and killing each other across Durham using a variety of safe 'weaponry'. In widegames we meet up in a park and play shorter games such as 'Escort the VIP' and 'Zombies' . Deepgames are short, intense live action games about diplomacy and backstabbing. For more information, please read the Rules.

We also meet up regularly for social activities, bar crawls, video nights, and larger parties in conjunction with other societies. We also run a variety of fun activities to try and sort the wolves from the sheep.

Membership requires skill, cunning and alertness. Some members turn into cool, calm, collected and ruthlessly efficient killing machines, whereas others become jibbering wrecks, torn apart by paranoia, lying awake at night huddled close to their excessive arsenal of destructive weaponry.

So if you think you can cope with pressure, if you think you have the skill and speed of thought necessary to spot a hunter as he weaves through a crowd of innocents, and if you think you can cope with your mates casting scornful glances at you as you polish your dart guns, then sign up and show us what you're made of!
