Various Games News Converage

Shut Up & Sit Down - Games News:

"Once everyone's finished, the murder stack is then resolved one after another. Or something. It sounds a bit like a hyperviolent version of Vlaada Chvátil's Sneaks and Snitches, a game we thought was predominantly ok!"

Boards and Bees - Game Buzz: GenCon 2014:

"It seems very ninja-ish in the things it’s trying to accomplish, and has some very interesting art that looks almost water-color. Will this become the ultimate ninja game?"

Ludo Noticias - Shinobi Clans, el Camino el Ninja:

"Shinobi clans is a game of deduction and medium-term strategy, the fact of having to play our units and weapons covertly represents very well the 'ninja spirit'" (translated from Spanish)

Ryan Macklin - Cool Stuff Wednesday: Gen Con 2014 Edition:

GeekDad Review

This review based on the "ninjapunk" test edition has some nice photos and says:

• There have been few really good ninja-based games … until now.
• Shinobi Clans is a really fun strategic card game that will have you thinking (and quite probably overthinking) about every card you play.
• It’s very good fun and worth putting on your game radar.
