As a ruthless and cunning shinobi clan master, you lead your team of ninjas on secret missions that decide between life and death for dangerous ronin, noble daimyos and powerful shoguns. Recruit the most skilled assassins, arm them with the deadliest weapons, and devise plans that will outwit your rivals on your way to becoming the most feared and prosperous ninja clan of them all!

Shinobi Clans is a strategic card game for 3-5 players. As ninja clan leaders, players must master all facets of ninja warfare: Secretly select missions on targets that promise the biggest rewards with the least opposition. Muster the most suitable ninjas and weapons by card drafting. Position them tactically through a card stack mechanism that can disrupt your enemy's plans. Use secret unit deployment to your advantage and hope the other clans' spies don't uncover your strategy...

Until the final reveal, your clan's actions and motivations are shrouded in mystery. Can you throw the other clans off your trail while getting the job done? When the smoke clears, your schemes, ambition, and skill will be evident – but will they prevail?
