About this board game

Tiny Ninjas: Heroes is a 1–2 player tactical combat game with approximately 30 minutes of play time, featuring grid-based movement, hand management, and variable abilities.

Each player commands a team of five ninjas, working toward one decisive objective: defeat the opposing Hero. Every ninja is dynamic and offers a unique strategic function, giving players room to develop distinctive approaches and bond with specific Heroes.

During play, players cycle through five phases: Income, Move, Action, Attack, and Defend. This structured sequence creates a clear rhythm while leaving space for tactical decisions across the arena.

  • Move ninjas through a 4×7 grid arena.
  • Acquire items, shields, and Energy Points.
  • Spend Energy Points to activate powerful abilities.
  • Combine actions and abilities into satisfying combos.
  • Use custom printed ninja dice to track each ninja’s position and health.

The arena is attached to the lid of the game box, allowing the entire experience to be played right within the box. Custom dice and carefully managed resources help keep the battle state visible as players maneuver, attack, defend, and look for an opening.

For solo players, the dedicated Apocalypse mode offers a different challenge. Face endless waves of powerful, ruthless Zombies in a fight for survival, putting your tactical decisions and ability management to the test.

Released in 2021, Tiny Ninjas: Heroes is quick to learn while offering layered tactical depth. Its compact play time, distinctive ninja abilities, and strategic combat make every Hero and team an opportunity to explore a new plan.
