Title: Ninja? (Game)
Post by: TheKarazyvicePresidentRR on August 09, 2010, 01:21:22 PM

Has anyone else played this game?

The rules are simple.

Object of game: To slap the opponents hand.

How to win: Be the last one without having their hand slapped.

How to play: Everyone puts their hands in the middle and one person (The person starting) counts to three (or 1, 2, NINJA) and everyone jumps back and strikes a pose. Everyone takes turns (Going from the leader clockwise) doing ONE fluid motion per turn. If attacked the person being attacked can make one fluid motion to defend themselves.

Any questions? Anyone have any cool stories of this? Anyone played in a robe(Besides me)?

Awesome, awesome game.  I've never played in a robe (now that's on the things to do before I die list), but I'm one of the local champions.

One cool little modifier is going Each, Ni, Sun (phonetic Japanese 1, 2, 3).

Ninja is epic. although, our group is starting to forget one fluid motion. jumping across the room is fun.

yes this game is epic!! i am champion of most games i play...we definitely need to hav a ninja tourney at nats.

Story:

i made a twirly jump that was one fluid motion and it brought my hand around to almost hit my opponent's hand (mjwaree5), but i missed and then everyone started arguing about whether or not that was fair. so i backed up and showed it to them again but this time i was a little too far and when i twirled around my hand came down on matt(mjwaree5)'s face and bent his brand new glasses. He had a bruise and still has his bent glasses...

My first move ever in a ninja game, I slapped someone clear across the face.

I'm the best one out of my youth group. Every time we go to summer camp we play. :)
