About the game
What you do in a play session
At the start of the game, all 21 pattern tiles are scattered across the table, creating a veritable visual jumble. In each round, a player rolls the two special dice, which display six unique symbols. From there, the race begins! All players, simultaneously, must identify which tile on the table exactly matches the combination of symbols that appeared on the dice. Found it? Then, it's time to act fast and be the first to grab the tile. Whoever successfully grabs the correct tile first adds it to their collection. If someone grabs the wrong tile, or if two players grab the same tile at the same time, the round is invalidated, and the tile returns to the center of the table. The game continues at this frantic pace until one player manages to accumulate six tiles, declaring themselves the ninja master of patterns!
Cobra Paw is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a quick, easy-to-learn game that guarantees good laughs and tense moments. Perfect for playing with family, friends, or to warm up the group before a heavier game. The ninja theme and quality components, including a super stylish hexagonal box, only add charm to this agile and addictive gaming experience.
