I decided in the inspiration of games such as Advance Wars, Fire Emblem and even Dungeons & Dragons to make a strategy game of the Fourth Great Shinobi War. This will be a real printed off game with a board, datacards and even tokens of the characters.



One player plays as the Shinobi Alliance and has to hold off the incoming threats of Tobi and Kabuto. They utilise the 5 Kage, Killer Bee, Naruto and a self-selected team of other key players in the war from Chojuro to the K11. The goal is to end the edo tensei and defeat the Masked Man.

The other player plays as the Akatsuki, allocating Kabuto and Tobi to their areas on the map and selecting their choice of edos to make up their personal army. Each character has a number of how much they cost to summon and the result must be 500 or lower. Someone like Madara would be 200 points or you could plan to outnumber the opponent with smaller edos like the Sound Four, Gari and Shin at 30 points each. This sides goal is to destroy the Gokage and defeat the 8 tails and the 9 tails. These though happen to be the SA's strongest pieces.

It's a game i'm working on and will involve turn-based combat, HP/MP and special abilities along with a Chakra nature weakness/strength circle. The map will be seperated into the 5(?) different battlefields and you can move your characters between them to get strategic matchups, aim for a jinchuuriki/wanted criminal or just overpower a battlefield. The thing is, other than the key concept and the character cards, i'm still not entirely sure how it'll play and work as a whole, have you got any ideas or ways to make this game more playable?

I could really do with some feedback/critique, thank you :D

I'm actually planning it to be played on a board. Or a mat of some kind, and then- who knows. If I end up creating something worthwhile maybe i'll have to get on board with someone who knows what they're doing technologically.

strategy: summon madara nagato itachi juubi and watch the world burn. ninja war over.

anyway i think its a cool idea, i would buy the cards if someone made them. i like the design of the cards you posted and it would be cool to collect them.

Thank you, i'm only making them in MS Paint :')

And the summoning limit stops you from summoning all of the OP ones ;D

UPDATE:

I have added a multitude of villain and SA cards as well as introducing both Summonings and Hidden Treasures.

Summonings are cast by a character for a large amount of their chakra for that day. Hidden Treasures are marked X's on the map that have a random hidden Ninja Tool inside for your character to carry around, trade with the enemy or pass onto another member of your force.

I have also added the type chart. The Akatsuki will have Yamato as intel and The SA will have an area called HQ where ninja like Shikaku, Inoichi and Ao can access external factors like being able to read the weakness sheet and seeing the enemies elements, attacks and weakpoints.

I have a friend who's really into card/board games, unfortunately he's not into Naruto :/

I'm sure I could get some good critique from him. Sounds awesome to me.

Thanks :)

I have the cards and everything sorted out, it's just the actual game mechanics itself-

I really don't remember the card/board games' dynamics; it had ben a long while since i played with them.

I would like to see the results of the work though.

Wow amazing!!! I really like how you add the "Filler" content included in this game like it's expandable to the War.

I wonder how the 7 swordsmen turn out to be in the game. Sigh, Mangetsu, why was he neglected when he was known to be the strongest of the 7 swordsmen.

I guess his only power is to liquify his body just like Suigetsu. I wish they added the filler on him...

Anyway, thanks for the update =)

I'm thinking of adding some filler characters, I only added the Sound 4 because I love them and would use them in every game :)

And yeah I'm such a big Hozuki fan and the fact that they had swordsman filler and didn't use Mangetsu is criminal. I'm thinking the swordsmen will all have effects that compliment each other.

Really great idea! I should play this! Could you somehow make the juubi an ultra rare card that is really hard to get (meaning that you would have to complete very special and difficult tasks to be able to use it). That would be epic!

I'm thinking about it, as well as Juubito Obito but it's kinda tricky, thanks for the feedback! :)

Finally finished all the cards!

There are:
8 Shinobi Alliance Mastermind cards
3 Akatsuki Mastermind cards
5 Sacred Treasure cards
17 Summons Cards

43 Edo Tensei Ninja
33 Shinobi Alliance Ninja

The next phase is printing them and laminating them.

Then to create the movelist and describe what each jutsu does in the game and then it's printing off and creating the MAP. Which won't be easy and then it's finished! o_O

This is going much more easily than I imagined.

Mate I love your concept and card design its beautiful though I was going to ask about the game mechanics till I read your comment saying you don't have any. I myself made a board game a few years back including pretty much any characters I liked from the terminator, wolverine to batman to the apprentice, Yoda, nightcrawler, Wesker etc. It was a lovely game which my relatives enjoyed playing, what they liked most was the complexity so i like how your going with your game just make it so that a kunai to the head is fatal and it should be great and not every piece can be equal. P.s I did not include naruto characters at the time due to complex their jutsu were I didn't want to destabalize the game which i did when I later created version 2 in which certain characters were similar say for example gaara and his father.If only I could get in touch with a game company I know in could design a great board game to play on an arcade game, like how yugioh is popular after all these years it gains its own following, nownim just rambling good job dude :)
