Shinobi: War of Clans

What to Expect

In Shinobi: War of Clans, you take the role of secret agents from powerful clans fighting for military dominance across Japan’s provinces. You tactically play cards to deploy, move, and attack troops while managing your hand carefully. The game ends when the deck runs out, and the clan with the most troops wins. Gameplay involves strategic hand management and area control in a short, fast-paced session.

Designed for 3 to 5 players aged 12 and up, this 20-minute game suits players who enjoy quick tactical card games. It’s a medium complexity game ideal for those familiar with hand management mechanics and looking for a fast yet strategic experience.

How It Works

Each player receives a secret clan and troop cards. On your turn, you place a card from your hand into any province except your own to strengthen or move troops. If your army becomes the strongest in your province, battles occur. Ninja cards can reduce enemy forces. The game finishes when the deck is depleted, then clans are revealed and scored.
