Onitama: Light and Shadow

Adds a hidden-movement pawn that stays out of the opponent’s sight until it reveals itself to attack. Players deploy and move a Ninja that follows secret movement rules, creating bluffing and deduction alongside the base game’s tactical movement. Includes two modes: a symmetrical mode where both players use a Ninja, and an asymmetrical mode where one side fields a Ninja against a traditional Master-and-Students setup. Integrates with the core game’s move-cards and turn structure to introduce stealth and surprise without changing the core mechanics.
