NINJA VS. SAMURAI
DRUNKEN MASTER is a one-on-one battle of strategic stacking and sabotage! Summon supernatural spirits to build a tower of pints. The higher you stack, the higher you score. Just don’t K.O. yourself!
ASYMMETRICAL COMBAT
Ninja & Samurai have special abilities that change the way you play. Roles switch every round, so you must master both fighters in order to win!
GATHER YOUR SPIRITS
Spirit Cards allow you to stack pints in unique combinations. Both fighters have an identical set of six cards, meaning you know exactly what’s in your opponent’s hand at all times. Victory is about predicting how and when your opponent will use each spirit!
RAISE YOUR PINTS
Pints are physical manifestations of a warrior’s willpower. Think of your pint stack as your health bar!
Our final engraving will replace the dice numbers with silly faces that represent numbers. Super meta. Can you guess which number each face represents? Hint: count the section headers!
samurai
Menial labor is beneath the Samurai. He never touches the pints! Instead, he plays extra spirit cards to manipulate Ninja’s stack from the shadows. Lead Ninja to a devastating knockout with Samurai’s cunning and foresight!
Spirit Breaker
Predict Ninja’s spirit card to nullify it. Ninja must stack 4 pints on your tower. You also earn 2 shiners just for being so devilishly clairvoyant!
Ninja
As a true lone warrior, Ninja does all the stacking herself. She builds her tower high while keeping Samurai’s tower low. Score big and leave Samurai in the dust with Ninja’s acrobatics and speed!
Drunken MasteR
Drunken Master is Ninja’s signature spirit. Activate Drunken Master to steal all pints in Samurai’s tower and stack them on top of your own. However, you can only do so by lifting each tower from the bottom pint!
WHY BACK US on KICKSTARTER?
We created DRUNKEN MASTER to embody hype, competition, and epic, anime battles! We’ve spent years making this game as dope as humanly possible, and we’re finally ready to share it with you. We just need your help to publish. So, if you’re ready to outwit, outplay, and out stack, please back us on Kickstarter. In return, we’ll send you a copy of our game!
All things conisdered, we’re as indie as indie gets. So we’re eternally grateful for you to support a rogue band of pirates with the crazy idea to bring DRUNKEN MASTER to life.
To you, we raise our pints.
Therefore, every box of this print run will include an exclusive label so you can prove you were with us since the beginning. Label design is still in development, so we’ll share at launch!
CREATIVE TEAM
We’re friends that love games so much that we decided to make our own. We each have day jobs so we strive to tell stories that can’t be replicated in a boardroom, focus test, nor A.I. gobbledygook.
DRUNKEN MASTER is the first of our teams ups. Now that it’s ready to share, we hope you like it as much as we had fun making it.
