Fans of quick tactical card games who like reading opponents and don't mind a bit of mutual sabotage.

Vibe's take

Fast, tense, and a little mean - every simultaneous reveal can flip your plan upside down.

About this game

Ninjan turns rock-paper-scissors into a card-drafting duel. Nine cards, three suits, values from -6 to 10 - you're picking off the strongest piles before your rivals do, one simultaneous reveal at a time.
