The tower and its monsters stand between your ninja clan's rightful place of rule. You must use every fiber of cunning in this push your luck battle.
Draw seven weapon cards and use them to fight your way to the top. Be careful though, not having the right weapons means a long drop to the foot of the tower.
Weapons are made up of 3 colors (red,blue, and yellow) and 2 types (basic and legendary). The Blue Swords, Red Spears, and Yellow Magic Staffs. The legendary weapons also come with powers.
Each level of the tower has one of 7 different monster types. Discard the matching symbol weapons to advance. Your hand size will continue to shrink as you climb the tower thus making it much harder to have the right weapons.
Other clans are also battling their way to ensure they too are noticed. Play through three rounds of cumulating victory points. The player who is in last in between rounds receives the Mask of Shame - A Legendary Item that makes its holder immune, but at great cost to one's honor.
Will you climb your way into the Halls of Honor or be stained with the Shadows of Shame?
