Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- Adventure cards — Used to progress the game after the event deck runs out, with specific instructions and progression.
- Combat/Defeat Villains — To defeat a villain, your strength needs to be equal to or greater than that of the villain. Strength is determined by spinjitzu tornadoes, potential cards, and teamwork.
- cooperative play — Players win or lose together, and can ask other ninjas one move away to join them in their room to increase collective strength.
- event cards — Each turn starts with flipping an event card, which can trigger villains arriving, villains advancing, or placing mastery tokens.
- Movement — Each ninja may make as many moves as the number of spinjitzu tornadoes they have, up to two to start. Movement is through connecting rooms, not through walls.
- Set Collection — Collecting mastery tokens by entering rooms marked with a teapot or comic book to advance the goal.
- Track progression — Victory and villain tracks are used to determine game end conditions, with tokens being added to them.

Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- card-driven events — Players draw event cards that dictate actions like villains arriving or advancing, or helpful events like 'tea with Wu'.
- Combat/Strength comparison — Players compare their ninja's strength (based on Spinjitzu tornadoes) against villain strength to determine if they can be defeated. Allies can combine strength.
- cooperative play — Players work together towards a common goal, exemplified by asking fellow ninjas for help to clear rooms.
- Modular Board — The game uses two boards that connect to form Destiny's Bounty, with different sides for different player counts.
- Movement — Movement is determined by the number of Spinjitzu tornadoes a ninja has, allowing for zero, one, or two moves to adjacent rooms. This can be upgraded.
- Set collection/Upgrades — Players can upgrade their ninja by covering card symbols on a track, choosing potential cards, and attaching LEGO elements for new abilities.
- Track progression — Victory is achieved by filling the victory track with defeated villains and mastery tokens, while the villains win if they fill their track.
