About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for a ninja adventure full of tricks and bluffs in Ninja Scroll Trick! A precious scroll has been stolen, and your mission is to retrieve it using your ninja skills. But, as always, a ninja's life is not easy: other clans are also eyeing the same treasure, and to make matters worse, not all scrolls you find are genuine. Your cunning will be tested to the maximum to avoid picking up fake scrolls and, even better, to trick your opponents into taking the worthless copies!

Ninja Scroll Trick is a trick-taking game that unfolds over three exciting rounds. Each round is divided into two crucial phases: the Preparation Phase, where you plan your moves and assess the situation, and the Showdown Phase, where the action happens and cards are played to decide who takes the trick. Final victory depends on the sum of points from the scrolls you managed to collect. Do you have the necessary sagacity to be the ninja master and come out on top, or will you fall into your rivals' traps? This game promises a lot of interaction and twists, perfect for those who enjoy a good bluffing and strategy challenge in a compact and fast package.
