Ninja Sloths is a board game released in 2023 for 2–6 players, 20–45 minutes per game, and ages 7 and up. It was designed by Amanda Naqvi and its main mechanics are Hand Management, Take That, and Set Collection.
Ninja Sloths is a 2-6 player turn-based competitive strategic card game. In this game, you’ll assemble a squad of Ninja Sloths to heist gems from the evil guards while working to avoid the sabotage of your foes. The game also includes items you can equip to your squad with, like weapons, and action cards. Make your path to victory by building the ultimate Ninja Squad and heisting the most gems from the guards...or perhaps...from your friends! The player who heists the most gems wins the game! —description from the publisher
Ninja Sloths supports 2–6 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Ninja Sloths is 20–45 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Ninja Sloths for ages 7 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Ninja Sloths has a complexity rating of 1.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
