About the game

What you do in a play session

Tiny Ninjas: Original is a fast-paced, action-packed dueling game for two players where each match is an intense battle to reduce your opponent's health to zero. With simple-to-learn but hard-to-master mechanics, you use ninja cards to attack or defend depending on the situation. Hand management is key: you must decide when to strike and when to protect yourself, while also rolling dice inside the game box to determine the outcome of your actions. With 20 different characters, every match is unique and full of twists. And the best part: it all fits in the palm of your hand, making it perfect to take anywhere!
