Ninjago Spinners[1] is a game played by two people with Ninjago spinners.
How to play[]
Each player needs a Ninjago character and the matching Character Card, three Weapons, one of which must be a Golden Weapon, and at least four Battle Cards (optional) per player. More than four cards can be combined into a battle deck, but no duplicate cards may be present.
Each player sets up their Ninjago Spinner on a flat surface. Both players stand their characters on their spinners and then take four cards from their battle deck (or the four that came with the spinner, if they don't have enough for a battle deck). The characters say "Ninja, Go!" and spin their spinners. If no one is knocked off, a spinner stops, someone loses a weapon, both are knocked down, or the spinner falls off the table or is knocked outside the arena, then the players must redo the spin. When one player knocks the other off of his spinner, then the opponent gives up his weapon or uses a Battle Card to avoid it. Play continues until one player has all three of the opponent's weapons. At this point, the game is over. Weapons and Battle Cards are returned to their owner.
When using the printable Spinjitzu arena, players must spin from one of four starting points, two on each side. Also, Trap battle cards must be played in the designated areas.
Trivia[]
- You can also play spinners in the apps, LEGO Ninjago: Spinjitzu Scavenger Hunt and LEGO Ninjago: Rise of the Snakes.
- Spinners were originally discontinued after the Rise of the Snakes wave. However, they returned in 2017 with a different style, though not as part of the game.
- Promotional images of 9552 Lloyd Garmadon included the appearance of an orange piece that would be inserted into the spinner for short-legged characters to stand on, equalizing the height for them and regularly-sized Minifigures. However, this was ultimately removed from the final set and never made to begin with, presumably due to costs and a lack of an actual need for it.
