You’ll need stealth with this strategy game

At first, “Ninja Versus Ninja” appears to be just a quick, fun game for two. Yet the more my family played, the more we realized there’s more here than meets the eye, which is fitting for a game that stars Japan’s mysterious warriors.

Sure, my rough-and-tumble boys were instantly hooked by the ninja playing pieces and the game’s battle concept.

But as the parent, I was drawn to the clever strategy play. Your goal is to score points by penetrating into your opponent’s dojo as far as you dare, then sneaking back out before time’s up — or before your opponent eliminates all your ninjas, and it’s sayonara.

Ages 8 and up. Out of the Box, $25
