Ubisoft has dropped us a note to let you know they're offering up Assassin's Creed Recollection, a board-game for iPad based on their top-selling franchise, free of charge for a limited time.

Assassin's Creed Recollection, designed and optimised to take full advantage of the large display and Multi-Touch interface of iPad, allows players to live an entirely new experience in the world of Assassin’s Creed. Fans of the franchise are able to compete in political battles in a real-time board game, with key characters and locations from the original console game franchise. They can also discover and amass a wide variety of artwork created for the Assassin’s Creed games.

Free is the magic word, and I'm grabbing the app now, but if anyone else has already picked it up and had a bash, drop a line in the Comments section to let us know how it fares.
