Shinobi Spy & Supply

Description

Shinobi Spy & Supply is a small card game about 2 competing shops that sell all the gear Japanese fantasy spies need for espionage! However, when your clientele are Ninja, there’s literally spies around every corner. Will your shop be the most successful? The game ends when the small deck runs out. Before then, use the multi-use cards to serve customers in your shop for points and to chain bonus actions together. Use the back of the double-sided cards to spy on your opponent for even more points, and resource discounts towards serving customers! You won't only score points for your shop (tableau), but also your opponent's shop (tableau), based on the ninja spies you've hired. This leads to a knife-fight-in-a-phone-booth feel, where every action that you take may open up opportunities to your opponent and vise versa. Gain the advantage by playing synergistic cards to your tableau, spying on your opponent at the right moment, and preventing your opponent from getting that card they need. With multiple ways to score, there's multiple strategies and paths to victory in an otherwise very tactical game. —description from the designer
