About the game

What is Ninja Academy?

As an apprentice Ninja, it’s time for you to show all your skills in challenging and exciting tricky trials. Will you be quicker, stronger, smarter…. or simply more concentrated than your opponents? Your training alternates collective trials and duels, in a series of varied tests drawn randomly. But whether you are challenging the whole group and head-to-head with another ninja, there will be only one rule: be the best at your trial! For example, try to be the first player to place a Ninja meeple on each of your fingertips! Try to guess how many ninjas your opponent put in the box just by shaking it! Be the quickest to assemble 5 wood logs vertically! Be strong enough to collect points depending on your score, but be also strategic enough when you bet on the winner of each duel! Ninja Academy is a hilarious, fast-paced and highly replayable new dexterity game! —description from the publisher
