Ninja - Party Games | Mert's Desktop

Everyone stands in a circle, bows to each other, and strikes their best ninja pose.
From this moment on, you may only move during your own turn or in reaction to an attack directed at you. Any accidental motion between turns means you're out.
Your turn: Make one single decisive movement — typically a karate chop aimed at hitting an opponent's hand.
Defending: Once the attacker commits to their strike, every other player may make one defensive movement to dodge or reposition — but only one!
After the attack is resolved, everyone freezes again — including the attacker, in whatever awkward position they ended up in.
If your hand is touched by the attacker, you are eliminated.
Play passes clockwise — the person to the attacker's left goes next. This makes attacking your left neighbour very risky!
The last ninja standing wins.

The Setup: Alice, Bob, Charlie, and Diana stand in a circle and bow. Everyone strikes a pose.

Alice's turn: She lunges toward Bob's hand with a chop. Bob quickly pulls his hand back and dodges. Alice misses and freezes in an awkward forward lean.
Bob's turn: Now Bob sees Alice is overextended from her failed attack. He swipes at her hand — she can't dodge in time. Alice is out!
Charlie's turn: Charlie attempts a reach across the circle at Diana. Diana pivots just enough to avoid it. Charlie freezes mid-reach.
Diana's turn: Diana capitalises on Charlie's overextension and taps his hand cleanly. Charlie is out!
Winner: Bob and Diana face off. Bob makes a feint but Diana reads it and counters — Bob's hand is tapped. Diana wins!

Think carefully before attacking — a miss leaves you in a vulnerable frozen position.
Attacking the person to your left is risky: they go right after you and can hit you while you're still frozen.
Defenders can use their one move to set up a better attacking position for their own turn.
Honour system is key — call out anyone who flinches or moves between turns!
