Ninja Numpties

Ninja Numpties is a video board game for 2–4 players. You place traps on a mini chessboard island and prank your opponents to earn ninja stars. Traps disappear on the turn after they are placed, and the player with the most stars at the end wins.

Traps and minigames

The game has three kinds of traps:

• Push Tiles: move opponents around or push them off the island. You can link tiles into a conveyor belt.
• D4 Caltrops: damage an opponent’s dice roll.
• Rock-Paper-Scissors: start a Rock-Paper-Scissors minigame. The winner earns at least 1 star, and a path of Push Tiles to the minigame can raise the stakes.

Match settings

You can set the number of rounds to adjust the match length. You can also choose random or fixed values for the first d6 roll and all subsequent d6 rolls, and set D4 Caltrop damage to random, fixed or a Push Tile conveyor combo. The game autosaves, so you can continue a longer session later.

Controller support

The game supports a range of controllers and displays their button prompts, including PlayStation DualShock 3 and 4 and DualSense; Xbox 360, One and Series S | X; Nintendo Switch Joy-Con controllers used individually and Pro controllers; NES, SNES (Purple and Multicolour), Gamecube controllers and Wii Nunchucks; and the PlayStation 3 model of the uDraw tablet.

Humour and sound

The game includes licensed Vine boom and Kill Bill guitar-riff sounds, silly puns and badly drawn memes.
