📖 About This Game

The third expansion for Onitama, Light and Shadow offers a new way to explore the elegant and simple game of martial tactics by introducing a new type of pawn: the Ninja! Unlike other pawns, the Ninja moves secretly, hidden from your opponent's view until they are ready to strike... There are two ways to play Light and Shadow: - Way of the Shadow is a symmetrical game in which each player deploys their own Ninja. - Way of the Light is an asymmetrical game that pits one Ninja player against a traditional Onitama Master and Students player.
