There are several other two player games that are "better" than Ninja vs. Ninja. However, there are very few such games that can be played as quickly or have such nice components.
Ninja vs. Ninja is a game where players try to score points by infiltrating the other side's dojo. The deeper they can get into the dojo the more points they score and the first to seven points wins. However, sneaking around is not the only way to win the game, if one player successfully captures all of the other side's ninjas then that also means victory.
The game features to mechanics that make it fun. The first is a mix of luck and strategy. On a player's turn they roll two dice and they move a ninja that many spaces. The ninja can only move in straight lines or "L" shapes. How a player moves and positions a ninja is important, but even the best laid strategy is tied to the luck of the dice rolls, which means players have to adjust and reevaluate their strategy every turn to make the most of their luck. This means the game will not appeal much to Chess fans, but to people who don't mind a bit of luck in games this game hits a nice mix of luck and strategy. The second mechanic, is the the ability for a player to push their luck. Once a ninja crosses a middle region of the board, then it has three turns to make it back to their dojo. The deeper a ninja goes into enemy territory the harder it will be to make it back, but the higher the points. This high risk/ high reward factor, while simple is very enjoyable and adds a lot to the game.
Technically, Ninja vs Ninja could be played with checkers and a couple of pyramid shaped four sided dice. However, the components of the cute ninjas and the dice with swords through them really adds a lot to the game. Ninja vs. Ninja is a light, fun game and the components really reinforce that.
A game of Ninja vs. Ninja will take between five and ten minutes to play and only a couple of minutes to teach. The ease of the rules, quick play time, and cute factor make this game very accessible to a wide range of people.
