I created this fun little chart ages ago, but it still seems as relevant today as ever!
Maybe the execs at Toei will find this chart useful, too!

A Game About Time Traveling Ninja: Time Vs Ninja
The miraculous Hattori Hanzo arrives in Paris 845 AD to hack his way through Viking Hordes on his way to capturing Charlemagne's Crown, while the deadly Mochizuki Chiyome grabs an ATV to venture across the violent landscape of Detroit 2050...
Anything can happen when Legendary Ninja gain access to time travel abilities!
I designed the board game Time Vs Ninja to satisfy three distinct urges.
First, the urge to transverse time and space throughout a simple game, where a battle might happen in a futuristic Moon Colony, then continue into Ancient Egypt and end up in Roswell, New Mexico. The mixing of time periods and geographies always interested me and board game that explore this idea always appeal to me.
Secondly, the urge to incorporate some actual ninjitsu lore as well as real history, creating a very light 'educational' element. Maybe you don't know much about Sydney, Australia in 1776, but playing the game there might pique your curiosity!
Finally, the urge to create a wild system that can result in some memorable (and often hilarious) storytelling!
To date, I've published 5 series in the game, with a 6th just around the corner. In each series, more possible time-spaces, artifacts and legendary ninja characters are added. One day, I hope to release a massive boxset with everything.....one day!
