Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- Dice Placement — Placement's very important in this roll, for example. This fortune die right here, because this wild is like within this front 180° of the die, which is what that arrow is for. If you imagine a line going through it, this fortune die can be used to boost that guy or that guy or this one. But this poor fortune die that I rolled because it's facing the wrong way. Can't be used for anything.
- Dice Rolling — Uh you also roll this to see who goes first. So it's an actual die that you use in the game. Uh and you know your dice will come inside of it. Uh the active player rolls these five skill dice to see what his ninja skills are. These black dice represent the house that you're breaking into. The other players roll these threat dice.
- Push Your Luck — It's a fun push of luck game with a little meat.
- Set Collection — Uh, I'll use this pick for this lock. I'll take this wild plus this fortune. Turns it into three wilds. Uh, and I could say that's three stealth. And this one here makes four stealth. That beats that lock. That beats at least four people that are in there. I've snuck past four. I haven't snuck past all five.

- Uh you also roll this to see who goes first.
- So it's an actual die that you use in the game.
- You play in three rounds of increasing difficulty.
- These black dice represent the house that you're breaking into.
- So you'll add more as each round goes on and make it more difficult.
- Uh the active player rolls these five skill dice to see what his ninja skills are.
- Placement's very important in this roll, for example.
- This fortune die can be used to boost that guy or that guy or this one.
- But this poor fortune die that I rolled because it's facing the wrong way. Can't be used for anything.
- Meanwhile, the other players, if I ever roll, get to roll these threat dice and try to stop me.
- If all four threat dice come up with hourglasses, then I've been captured and the round is over and I don't get any points.
- They can also shoot arrows, which steals money.
- It steals money from both the person who's trying to get in the house and also the other players in the game, too.
- So, at all times, you really have to be careful for where things are rolling and who you're shooting at and who's a valid target.
- We're going to be kickstarting in a couple weeks.
- And, uh, it's a fun push of luck game with a little meat.
