Behind the scenes[edit | edit source]

Hazards, a predecessor to craps, is a historical game of chance that has existed since at least the 14th century. However, its appearance in the Assassin's Creed series is possibly anachronistic as it was mainly played in England and did not find popularity on continental Europe until the 1700s.[1]
