Your task: Take control of the temple. Like the Chinese tradition of wǔxíng, about which the Onmyōji have taught your dojo, you arrive to discover that there are five competing elements: Two over whom you have mastery; two who know your vulnerabilities. Nevertheless, you know you must prevail at The Temple of the Flying Blades! The Temple of the Flying Blades is a ninja-fighting game for 5 players. It includes a variant for 4 players. The Temple of the Flying Blades is a step-up from The House of the Flying Blades. It is a game on its own, but players owning The House of the Flying Blades can 'upgrade' to The Temple of the Flying Blades by purchasing the additional components. MATERIAL - The temple board (a 6×9 board that transforms the 9x9 house into a 15x9 temple). - At least 28 additional black ninja counters and at least 28 additional green ninja counters. So there are 5 dojos with at least 28 ninjas each in total. - 32 'special attack' cards (from the base game). As a variant, you can play without the cards.
