The aim of the game is simple - t0 knock out your opponent by using a Roll & Clash system to achieve your goal. Players will need to roll their dice as quickly as possible to inflict damage on their opponents with hope for a brutal kickass elimination from the game.

In the game, players can choose to take the role of Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura and Shikamaru, all of which inflicting their own individual attacks - honing in on both offence and defence.

Setting up could not be simpler. Each player is designated a game board and a special power board that matches their chosen character in battle. On each board, highlighting the rolls needed to complete an attack, along with the incoming damage limits as told by the wound gauge at the top of the board.

Players will be required to roll their dice simultaneously to attempt to launch the attacks which are on the game board towards your opponents. Each move will cause damage to your foes, or perks to yourself removing damage (depending on what character you use). When players successfully pull off an attack, the victim will receive damage gems to keep track of their progress... or regression!

Each red mark at the top of the character board insinuates a wound, and each wound is a round in the eyes of the fighter. Receive the maximum amount of wounds, and your character is going to be K.O'ed straight out of the ninja arena.

The game is a really fun concept, which really does emulate the frantic style of fighting in Naruto! Only taking 15 minutes to get through, and for ages 10+ - this game could be a great quick-hit for anybody not looking to invest heaps of time into one small games system.
