Ninjan^*

Ninjan is a quick card game for two to five players from age seven. With rock, paper, and scissors you recruit the strongest ninjas. Easy to learn and great for families and short rounds.

What's it about?

Each player starts with nine cards in three suits: rock, paper, and scissors. Values run from minus six up to ten. Three piles sit on the table as your first targets. Whoever collects the highest total wins.

How it plays

Each of the nine rounds works the same way:

1. Everyone picks one card face down.
2. All cards flip at the same time.
3. They resolve from the highest value to the lowest.
4. Ties break by the rock-paper-scissors rule.

What matters

The high card alone is not enough. The keys are:

• Reading what your rivals will play
• Spending your cards at the right moment

Who's it for?

If you want a light, tactical card game to take along, this works. Some luck is part of it, but sharp observation tips the balance.

Conclusion

Ninjan wraps rock, paper, scissors into clever short games. Deep strategists will set it aside fast. Families and casual players will get plenty of fun out of it.
