Cruel 2 B Kind is an assassin game with a difference: you kill your opponents with random acts of kindness! Duel with other assassins to see who can be the nicest or ambush the unwary with a deadly sonnet. A wide game played out in a secret location in central London, there is no way of knowing who is playing and who is just an innocent bystander. Will innocents be caught in the cross-fire? Oh yes. How long can you survive on the mean streets before someone is brutally nice to you? A game for all the family.
