Lots of folks say they want to get started painting miniatures, but they\u2019re just not overly fond of Space Marines or anything else that Games Workshop is selling at the moment. That\u2019s okay, because there are plenty of miniatures-based games out there for you to get excited about \u2014 including loads that you\u2019ve likely never even heard of. Assassin\u2019s Creed: Brotherhood of Venice<\/em><\/a> is on sale right now as part of Amazon\u2019s October Prime Day<\/a>, and it\u2019s an excellent example of how a small purchase can start you down the road to an amazing new hobby.<\/p>\n

Assassin\u2019s Creed: Brotherhood of Venice<\/em> is a story-driven, cooperative campaign game for up to four players that includes 26 playable chapters, each roughly an hour long. It also has a solo mode, so you can play it by yourself or learn it thoroughly before sharing it with your friends. And while I haven\u2019t had the chance to put it through its paces, the game comes highly recommended by several writers that I respect, including Aftermath<\/em> co-founder Luke Plunkett<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Much like other modern board games, Brotherhood of Venice<\/em> was brought to life with a successful crowdfunding campaign<\/a>. But now that the hype has faded and the $239 collector\u2019s edition has sold out, that\u2019s left a glut of basic boxes in Amazon\u2019s warehouses all across the world \u2014 and that\u2019s where you\u2019ll find the $79.99 version half off, on sale for just $39.99<\/a> through Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Inside your copy of Brotherhood of Venice<\/em>, you\u2019ll find the first five miniatures you get to paint, a series of familiar-yet-deadly assassins wrapped in flowing robes and cowls barely concealing a collection of elegant sharp objects. How about a video tutorial to get you started? Who better to assist you on your journey than Golden Demon award-winning<\/a> painter Angel Giraldez<\/a>. (Just skip the bit with the airbrush and do a quick zenithal highlight<\/a> with some spray paint instead.)<\/p>\n
