In a secretive land of rival ninja clans, warriors gather under the moonlight to prove their mastery of deception and precision. Each ninja conceals their true strength behind technique and illusion, predicting outcomes and risking reputation in a battle of cunning. Every strike, feint, and counter reflects the discipline and danger of life in the shadows, where only the most perceptive shinobi can prevail. Shinobi Blade is a trick-taking and prediction game for 3–5 players, where participants take on the roles of competing ninja. Each round, players secretly predict their final standing, wagering on their performance before engaging in fast-paced duels of number and color. The game blends traditional trick-taking mechanics with unique jutsu (technique) cards that can alter results or negate others moves through the special Kiriste Rule, which removes tied plays from consideration. Strategic foresight is rewarded as players gain or lose points depending on how accurately they forecast their placement across multiple rounds.
