Lewt Ninja has 3 phases of game play.
At the beginning of the round players will draw one monster from the Monster Deck, this is called Pulling a monster. After pulling the monster the player read aloud the cards rule to everyone; players will then either draw a Loot Card or additional monster card.

The second phase of the round called Looting; the player who started the round will draw the number of Loot cards indicated on the card. Players will then play their Roll cards for the treasure dropped by the monster. If more than one loot card has been drawn players will roll only on one item at a time. Roll cards are placed face down and only revealed once everyone has played a card. The player with the highest roll card wins the treasure.

Phase three, the Ninja phase is final phase of the round. During this phase players can play any of the System or Player Action cards to steal away treasure or protect treasure they have won during the round. Some System and Player Action cards can be played at any time allowing player to block other players from rolling during the looting phase or other actions like visit the traveling merchant to buy treasure by selling back won treasure to the loot deck.

Once the round has been completed all players will draw a new card from the player deck and move to the next player in the turn order.
