Naruto Shippuden: The Board Game

A cooperative game based on the early travels of Naruto and his allies. Players take the roles of six ninja from the Hidden Leaf Village and work to stop the Akatsuki from capturing Jinchuriki and powering the Gedō Mazō. The Akatsuki move between nine villages, forcing players to divide their forces and prepare for battles while dealing with unexpected events. Each character takes two actions per turn, choosing to move, meditate, or fight. Dice, character-specific ability cards, chakra, and experience determine how heroes overcome enemies and their special powers. The game culminates in a battle against Tobi and the Gedō Mazō, whose strength depends on the tailed beasts captured during the game.
