About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready to sneak through the shadows in Kabuki Temple, a solo game that puts you in the shoes of a ninja on a stealthy mission! The night is your ally, and every step must be calculated to avoid unnecessary confrontations. Your objective? Find your prey and complete the mission, which, of course, involves reaching the temple and defeating the final boss. To embark on this adventure, all you need is a pencil and a six-sided die. As you advance along the paths, keep an eye out for power-ups that can boost your Hide or Fight skills. Keep track of your characteristics by checking the boxes on your character sheet. When combat is unavoidable, the dice roll will decide your fate. Use your special abilities to modify the result, and if it's equal to or greater than the enemy's value, victory is yours, and the mission continues! It's a quick game, perfect for those moments when you want a dose of ninja adrenaline without a time commitment. The simplicity of the rules and the mechanics of drawing lines and rolling dice make it accessible, but the need to manage your skills and plan your moves adds an interesting strategic layer. Ideal for those who enjoy solo games with a ninja theme and a direct, engaging experience.
