News Flash: Ninja Academy Released, Space Chase Pre-Order
IELLO Releases Ninja Academy
IELLO has released a new ninja-themed party game. "Your training alternates collective trials and duels, in a series of varied tests drawn randomly. But whether you are challenging the whole group and head-to-head with another ninja, there will be only one rule: be the best at your trial! For example, try to be the first player to place a Ninja meeple on each of your fingertips! Try to guess how many ninjas your opponent put in the box just by shaking it!"
