Yes

Yes, if they wish to.

Yes

Yes, the discarded cards must be added back into their decks before the decks are rotated at the end of a round.

Yes

Yes. The rules for 'Taking out a Guard' apply: Take out the Guard, discard 2 Movement Cards, skip your next movement turn.

Yes

Yes, they can. Pretty nimble-footed us Ninja folk, aren't we?

No

No, they can't. Real Ninja don't do such sneaky and dishonest things.

Yes

Yes, they need to respect the rules for line of sight.

Weapons (Throwing Stars and other Buki cards) can be used before, during or after a Ninja's movement.

Players must turn over a trap tile before moving onto it. If it is Caltrops, the Ninja cannot move onto that tile and their turn ends on the tile BEFORE that space. Caltrops remain in play until the start of that player's next turn when they are removed and the player may take their turn as normal.

Once on the Shogun's Palace a Ninja does not have to move on their turn. However they may do so to where they can target a guard, or to aid another player's movement.

In both cases, drop the guards onto the centre of the end board.

Alarm is raised when players leave their Ninja standing on a road tile at the end of a movement phase - see related rules.

Running into Guards and some card effects can force you to discard Movement Cards (and/or skip your movement turn). As soon as you run out of Movement Cards, you have to wait for the next movement phase / deck rotation before you can move your Ninja again.

Yes

Yes, they must complete the route shown on the movement card.

If not leaping, they can't. However, while leaping (= using a leaping movement card allows them to do so), they DO have line of sight to a target and can therefore target it,

No

No. That would hurt.

Ninja on a tree or bushes tile are considered to be 'in cover'. They WILL NOT trigger guards to be added; they CANNOT be targeted by opponents' weapons; they CAN target other Ninja outside that tile, provided they have clean line of sight.

No

No, they can't. Although that would be pretty awesome.

No

No, they can't.

If your movement cards give you no choice but to end your movement on top of another Ninja, your movement turn is frozen - see related rule.

Yes

Yes, you can. Note that you cannot end your movement on a tile already occupied by another Ninja. See also related rule 'Movement Phase: Freeze'.

Not yet.

There is no official solo mode yet. Although you might try out the co-op game controlling 2-4 Ninja.

A player can set a trap on any tile adjacent to their Ninja's current location, including water areas, trees, bushes and rooftops.

No

No, you can't shoot over or through buildings or trees, You need to have a clean line of sight.

MIDNIGHT RAID: All players must reach the Shogun's Palace before the alarm tracker reaches its target. DAWN ESCAPE: The first player who reaches the Blue Forest wins the game.

Leaping allows a Ninja to move only 2 spaces forward. This allows them to pass over a tile without activating any Guards or Traps located on that space. Note: Ninja can still use the Leap card to jump into, through or out of an area of water.

You must apply the range and targeting area for the weapon shown on the Buki Card.

If a Patrolling Guard is moved off their movement track and is still on the board in the next Guard Phase, they will return to their original starting location. Imagine they are under orders to return to their designated patrol route.

No, water does not provide cover from Guards.

The Ninja must take out the Guard: The Patrolling Guard is removed and – before the new Movement Phase begins – the player must discard the top 2 cards from their new Movement deck. Note: The discarded cards must be added back into the deck before the decks are rotated at the end of round.

During Guard Phase.

It's the 6th action during the Guard Phase.
