[http://www.sjgames.com/ninjaburger/ Ninja Burger] is a non-collectible card game produced under license by Steve Jackson Games. It is based on the '''Ninja Burger''' website. The players are delivery ninjas for the Ninja Burger fast food chain, trying to be promoted to Branch Manager. There are three different ways this can happen, but they all add up to "have a higher Honor than anyone else". How does a ninja gain Honor? By successfully delivering tasty Ninja Burger meals to some of the strangest locations around (in 30 minutes or less).
There are three separate decks in the set:
Line 6:
Ninja: The smallest deck, these cards have a short description of each ninja and their skills. Some ninja have special abilities as well; for instance, Neko Otome will never fail a Climbing skill roll. To start the game, each player is dealt three ninja cards, and picks one to play.
Mission: Where will you be taking a tasty Ninja Burger meal this round? The Ninja Burger corporation prides itself on being able to deliver anywhere, from a remote desert island to the International Space Station to a nuclear submarine on maneuvers. Each delivery will have two or three associated skill rolls that must be made for the delivery to be a success. Success earns you Honor points, and failure makes you lose them. (If your Honor ever drops to zero, you must [[Deadly Euphemism|apologize to your ancestors]]
For example, if you're delivering to that nuclear submarine, you will need to make three rolls. First, your choice of an Animals roll or a Swimming roll (do you hitch a ride on a dolphin, or swim out to the sub yourself?). Second, a Computers roll to hack the airlock door. Third, a Stealth roll (at a -1 penalty) to remain unseen while making the delivery.
Line 26:
Aside from ways to die horribly, the game also allows bonuses. For example, rolling two 1's on a die roll turns your character into Snake Eyes (yes, from [[G.I. Joe]]) with bonuses on all dice rows... with the caveat that the player isn't allowed to speak at all, or he loses the bonuses. Also, shouting a [[Battle Cry]] when attacking also grants a bonus, though the game recognizes this is antithetical to the whole endeavor.
* [[Acrofatic]]: One character abuses his employee discount and is grossly overweight, "only capable of climbing as well as ''Olympic athletes''", and has the lowest climb skill in the game.
* [[Chandler's Law]]: The RPG version of the game features a chart to randomly provide sudden violence to spice up a mission.
