Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- Acquire Jutsu — Take Jutsu from the General Supply, on top of a floorboard if unoccupied, or from underneath a floorboard (causing a potential collapse).
- Collapse and penalties — If a collapse occurs, the tile is removed, your turn ends; you can reset the terrain card next player; if a seal is last, game ends with the winner.

- Move Ninja — Move your ninja orthogonally within the same color space or onto a Jutsu of the same color on adjacent spaces; first move from chakra to an adjacent space.
- Nudge and rearrange — You may nudge other pieces within the destination square to make space, as long as final placement stays within legal bounds.
- Place Floorboard — Take the top floorboard card, flip to the desired side, and place it on top of Jutsu above a terrain tile, aligning with land and water.
- Place Jutsu — Place Jutsu onto a Terrain card on land or on top of a floorboard, in any orientation, matching or non-matching color.
- Seals and alcoves setup — Banson seals are placed in alcoves in clockwise order; starting with the first player and moving around, with specific counts based on number of players.
- Starting setup with ninjas and seals — Players choose one of four ninjas and, in two-player games, must choose different colors; you start with three Jutsu pieces, and rounds begin by placing alcoves and starting space and placing banson seals.
