 INTRODUCTION
The Street was silent, cherry blossom drifted in the light wind as Damiyo
Fuqyu stroked his 3 foot long wispy grey beard.
“Ahh Nokia,” he sighed, “Today is a day of portents…I feel the hand of my arch
rival Damiyo Indajaxi at work here”
The big samurai put his fist on the hilt of his Katana.” Fear not my liege, for I
Nokia Rintone am here, my blade is yours”
A shadow drifted across Nokia’s back and with a whisper of steel a long
blade slid through his stomach. Nokia slid to the floor as Fuqyu flipped 15 feet
into the sky twisting round and landing on the guttering of the Dojo. The Ninja
assassin darted his head up in surprise.
“Foul demon! Prepare to meet your Ancestors!” Cried Fuqyu and glowing
shards of KI energy streaked into the dark figures brain wracking it with pain.
Which was precisely the point when the wave of Indajachsi’s thugs, burst
around the corner, spears twirling in circles of flashing steel!

Chinese Takeout is a game of Martial arts and Sorcery for two or more
players. If you happen to have a great knowledge base on all the moves and
equipment of the oriental arts then don’t get too excited. My inspiration for
Chinese Takeout is very much the Kung-Fu/ Kill Bill/ Crouching Tiger kind of
martial arts, where the heroes move almost exactly as if they were on wires
suspended from cranes and the job of a henchman has got to be the most
depressing career available. Maybe it pays well?

Players take control of Heroes and Henchmen and battle each other for
supremacy, honour or beer. Each player is responsible for a Hero and may
also control a band of henchmen; (expendable sword fodder).It’s possible if
you are a bit of a ninja of multitasking to operate more than one hero. It really
depends on how fast you want your game and what scenario you choose.
Eighteen points is a good starting base per side for casual play, allowing you
to buy a hero and some equipment. Later releases will cover character
progression, higher level ancestral weapons and heirlooms and rewards for
completing heroic missions.

 You Will Need:
 Several six sided dice: D6
 The Rules: (They are in your hand oh brain-of- a- flea).
 A force of AMAZON MINIATURES Martial Arts / Oriental range
 A number of counters such as Glass beads or coins
 Scenery to taste; scenery is an important part of Chinese Takeout and
more is more and less is bad. Get creative with trees and cliffs and
houses and wells and herds of Cows. Your Character needs stuff to
leap about on and take cover in.
 Blue Tack to adhere models to walls trees statues and rooftops.

Choosing a force
The most important choice you will make when starting out is what sort of
Character your hero is going to be. There is a wide range from unarmed close
combat powerhouses, stealthy ninjas, healers, ranged experts, armoured
sluggers and beast handlers. No Character class excels in every aspect;
choose a character style that you think you will enjoy.
Decide on an agreed point’s level with your opponent, from the points
available you may buy the character, their weapons and Items. Select a
character card relevant to your Hero and place it within easy reach on the
table. Set your forces up according to a scenario devised by you and your
mates, or if you like copy one from the Chinese Takeout! Website at
www.freewebs.com/tommiatkins

Setting up
Players take a character sheet for their personal characters and note down
what items and weapons they are carrying. Place the cards on a convenient
surface within easy reach. If the Character has a Ki level, place a coloured
dice on the sheet set to equal the Ki. Place a second different coloured dice
on the sheet to record hitpoints.
Scenery is now set up with both players agreeing on what scenery to use then
taking turns choosing and placing a piece on the table until all scenery agreed
upon is placed. Some scenarios will provide instructions on Scenery setup,
but if not, then simply remember to use as much scenery as you like. The
game is much more fluid and fun in a dynamic environment.
Models are now placed in the order of oldest player first. To dishonour your
elder is a grave mistake young glasshopper. If a player has more than one
character then the sequence of placing is continued until all models are on the
table. Models, if not placed according to a scenario are placed at least 20”
away from any enemy figure.

3
 Sequence of Play
Each player rolls a dice to determine who has the first turn, ties are rerolled.
Some modifiers may be in force due to Character’s or scenario rules. Some
scenarios define the Attacking side or the Defending side.

The turn order alternates between each player. If playing with more than one
opponent the turn order on the first turn remains in place till the end of the
game.
Phase 1: Movement & Actions
Players in their turn may activate a Hero or unit of henchmen, they then
may then spend action points to move climb and manoeuvre their figures
around the table. Once a Hero or unit of Henchmen has finished spending
action points it cannot be activated for movement again. Move on to a new
figure you control or if you have finished go to the Missile phase.

Example: Dave has three figures, a Ninja and two thugs. He activates the
thugs first and looks at the Thug card. Thugs have 4 action points. He
spends two of them moving the first thug across a path 2” and another two
moving over a crate 1”. He next moves the thug with a Bow. The thug
opens the door that he is in base contact with for 1AP then spends the
remaining 3 aiming his bow.
With his second activation he activates his Ninja (A Hero). The Ninja has
five AP and 3 KI. He casts a spell LEAP to move the ninja over the
Henchmen surrounding him; he deducts the KI by 1 and immediately leaps
over their heads. He now spends two AP running 2” across the path to the
house and two to climb the 3” onto the roof. His remaining point he could
waste, but spends it changing weapons from Katana to shuriken. He then
rotates to face the Henchmen below.

4
 Movement
In the movement phase each figure may be moved in any direction up to
their Action Allowance. Their Action # is listed on their card. The cost of
movement and Actions is listed on table 1
A figure may not move through another figure friendly or enemy, but may
rotate freely during their movement phase as many times as they want for
free. They may rotate even if they are in base contact with an opponent,
but only during their movement phase.
If in base contact with an enemy figure and they move out of contact, all
enemies in base contact may make one free Dishonour attack
immediately, even though is not their turn. The only allowable attack for
this is Faceslap.

ACTION POINT COST

ACTION COST ACTION COST
Move 1” across clear terrain 1 Aim missile (stationary this turn 1
only)
Move 1” across difficult terrain 2 Jump down from a roof or crate 1
or similar
Climb up 1” in height 1 Loot a body for weapon or 2
similar
Open door 1 Carry a passive or willing body Double
cost
Change weapon 1 Draw weapon 1
Mount/dismount 2/1

JUMPS & FALLS: A figure leaping from a height of over 1” may move
1”forward for each inch of height and takes no damage no matter what height
they leaped from A figure being pushed or otherwise not controlling their fall
takes 1 damage for each inch over 2” they fell, no armour saves apply.
Example: a thug is mind melded and is forced to wander off a 3” roof. They
will take 1 damage. The same thug leaping off the same roof by their own
volition could move 3” horizontally and take no damage.
Falls: A figure trying to land on another must score 5+ else they miss and
simply land in base contact with the figure without dealing fall damage.
Successfully landing on a figure counts as a fall even if it was deliberate
and splits the damage between them with any extra point going on the
target..
So a Ninja jumping off a 12” cliff onto a Monk rolls D6, scores a 5 and so
hits the monk, is placed in base contact and takes 2 damage, the monk
Example of movement:

4”

Chukk No-Rice, Samurai Warrior is activated with 6 Action Points
 Action point 1 is spent drawing his Katana
 Action point 2 is spent moving 1” across the roof.
 Action point 3 is spent moving another 1”
 Action point 4 is spent jumping off the roof. Since it’s a 4” vertical
drop, he moves 4” horizontally and lands behind Chew On-Dat a
Rival Samurai
 Action point 5 and 6 is skipped.

Phase 2: Missiles
A figure armed with a missile weapon ready may attempt to shoot a target
within range once per turn.
A Figure in base contact cannot shoot missiles except handguns.
A figure may shoot at a target as long as it is not entirely hidden from view
by terrain. Friendly figures do not block line of sight.

To fire a missile
 check line of sight. Draw a line from any part of the firer’s base to any
part of the target. String is a handy tool to use for this; noodles will
suffice but are less durable.
Please bear in mind that this is a dynamic game, and if you find yourself
arguing the toss with your opponent, it is strongly suggested you adopt the
“Meh” approach.
This involves saying “Meh” at them, letting them have their little moment of
triumph as they get the line of sight they so deeply want, watching them miss
the shot anyway, and then, after the game, never playing with them again.
Works every time.
If the target is behind cover which shields at least half of the figure, they are
(remarkably) in cover. Decisions on if a target is half covered is covered by the
“Meh” rule above.
 Check the weapon is in range.
 Measure the horizontal range. If target is 4” higher than the target,
maximum range is increased by +2”, if 4” lower than the target then
maximum range is decreased by -2”. Target must be in range of the
readied weapon to fire.
 Roll d6 lower than the firers attack value to hit modified as below. A
Dice Roll of 1 is always a hit.
 If the target is hit, they get a saving throw based on their armour to
prevent all damage.
If this is failed then damage is taken at the rate of the weapon used.
Damage is deducted from the targets HITPOINTS. If A figures HITPOINTS
reaches 0 it dies
Modifiers to the Hit roll are below.

6
 MISSILE FIRE
Situation Modifier
Point-blank range <4” +1
Close range 4-12” +0
Long range 13-20” -1
Extreme range 21+ -2
Self moving -1
Aimed shot +1

Example: The Ninja now with his readied Shuriken targets an enemy ninja
6 inches away. Vertical distance is <4”. The Firers ATTACK is 5. So the
score to hit is 1-4 on D6. The range of 6” doesn’t modify this, but the Ninja
not aiming the throw does, by +1. The firing ninja casts a 2 KI spell
“Assassinate” which adds +1 to the power of missiles he fires this turn and
a -1 to the Hit roll for a total modifier of 0
The Ninja rolls a 3 and so with a total of 3 he hits.
The Enemy Ninja immediately casts a spell, “snatch arrows”-which may be
used in the opponents turn. On a 5+ they can catch the shuriken and throw
it back. Throwing a 4 this fails and the Target ninja is struck. With no
armour save, normally the Ninja wouldn’t get a roll to save, but the
Shuriken has +1 to saving throws, giving him a basic save of 6. Again
rolling a 4 it fails and he takes damage.
The Shuriken deals 1 damage +1 for the assassinate. Two hit points are
deducted from the target leaving him on 3.

ARMOUR SAVES
To save a figure from a successful hit, the player must roll = or < than the
Armour Save listed on the character sheet. This roll is modified by the
weapons armour save modifier if any and any relevant spells that have
been cast.

Phase 3: Melee

Figures in base to base contact or within the melee range for certain
weapons like Yari’s , may make one melee attack from their list of
available attacks. They choose a target to the Figures front half and roll to
hit. The target may make a armour save or else take damage based on the

7
 weapon used. Damage is deducted from the targets HITPOINTS. If A
figures HITPOINTS reaches 0 it dies.

 Damage with a + or a – adds or deducts from the weapon. E.g. +D2-1

will deal with the weapon Yari D3 base damage plus 2 then minus 1.
 Damage without a + or – such as 3 or D6-1 deal that damage
regardless of weapon.
 Attacks with a # in the damage column use empty-hand attacks. Empty
hand is always available and does not need to be equipped as a
weapon. It deals 1 damage unless otherwise stated.

To Hit : Melee
To hit with an attack they deduct the targets defence from their attack value
and then must roll = or < than the result. A Roll of 1 always hits
Some attacks have an effect under special. This may have an effect number in
bold that needs to be rolled for the effect to apply. A model may make one
attack for 1 action point, a second attack in the same turn costs 2 AP and a
Third 3 AP. Thus a 6AP model in melee range could carry out 3 attacks and
still move 1 inch. Duplicate attacks of the same name can be carried out in the
same turn

Example: A Henchman with a Yari attacks a Ninja. He has only one attack
available; Faceslap.
He Faceslaps. His attack is 4 the Ninjas defence is 3. He must roll a 1 or less
to hit. Scoring a 1 he hits and the ninja, who wears no armour, must take d3
damage from the yari.
He has 2 health left and takes 3 damage. He dies.
Example: A Samurai with a Bo stick attacks a Thug. He chooses Headshot.
His attack is 5 the Thugs defence is 0.the Headshot is -1 to hit DRM so the
score needed is 4 or less. Rolling a 4 she hits.
The Thug has a armour save of 6 this is not modified by the Bo stick, the roll
is a 4 which fails to save the thug.
The headshot attack line reads “Deal weapon damage +0”,Target is stunned
for 1 turn.
The Bo Stick has damage 1 and a special attack of double stun time.
Therefore the Samurai deals 1 damage and the Thug is stunned for two turns.

8
 Spells

 A Spell caster may cast a spell they have access to deducting it’s cost
from their KI. The spell then takes effect as described on the card.
 Unused KI is retained. KI cannot go higher than starting levels unless
otherwise stated.
 Spells that heal are considered to take effect after damage is dealt, so
a figure on 2 Hitpoints taking 3 damage, then being healed by 3 points
of damage is still very, very dead.
 Some spells have a casting number in bold. This spell needs a D6
score or this number or greater to work. If the spell doesn’t work the KI
is still deducted.
 Spells can be cast at any point in the players own turn, however before
any relevant rolls are taken. So for example a Samurai may have an
assassinate played on it by a ninja about to throw a shuriken, but the
Ninja may not roll the dice, then think…”ooohh oohh! That was a 6! An
assassinate would still hit and do extra damage!. I’m totally going to
cast that now” Oh no sir. That’s not playing the game.
 Only spells that shaded green can be used in an opponents turn. These
can be cast at any point and resolve immediately. Spells that target
other spells resolve first.
 A spell of the same name can only be cast once per turn by the same
model
The target makes armour saves if allowed or else take damage. Damage is
deducted from the targets HITPOINTS. If A figures HITPOINTS reaches 0 it
dies.

Example of Spell casting

Hi Tu Yu is a Wudan Monk in base contact with Crisp Eeh Duk, a Samurai
warrior.
Hi has moved into base contact and uses Stunning blow in the melee phase
which fails to hit and so Crisp is neither damaged or stunned. Disappointed at
this, Hi notices he has still got 4 Ki, he casts back flip for 1 Ki, lands 3” away
from Crisp and suffers no Dishonour attacks. He now casts Flying Kick for 2
Ki, which has a 3+ casting roll. Rolling a 5, Hi succeeds and moves 3” back
into contact with Crisp and deals D2 damage, which is saved by Crisp’s
armour. Totally unsuccessful turn for Hi. Crisp readies his katana with a smile.

 Mokuso

This is the art of meditation. A Figure at the start of his/her turn will regain KI
equal to their Mokuso. KI cannot be exceeded above initial levels.
A player starts at full Ki.
Poisons
Poisons may be applied to weapons with a *** in their Statline
Death poison (5 points): on a 5+ takes effect. Deal d6 damage at end of
targets next turn
Paralyzing Poison(3 points) 4+ Dazes target till end of next turn.
Sedative Poison (2 points) half targets action points in its next turn.
Mindpoision: (2 points) reduce Mokuso to 0 for next turn.

Stunned
A Stunned Target halves its action points and cannot move this turn. It may
attack as normal unless otherwise stated.

Dazed
A Dazed Target may not move or carry out actions, attack cast spells or rotate
in it’s next turn.

Cavalry
Horse’s have 11 action points which may only be used for moving. They can
leap up to 2” vertically and 2” horizontally as part of their move.
 A figure may mount or dismount if in base contact. If dismounting from
a moving horse then they can leap as if from a 1” height. Figures that
mount in a turn cause the horse to lose any AP’s the figure has already
spend. Figures dismounting lose any AP’s the horse has already spent.
 Lances can only be used from a horseback in the first turn that they
move to contact with an enemy.
 Figures on horseback gain +1 attack against non mounted.
 Figures on horseback lose -1 attack in woods or confined areas.
 Horses suffer a -1AP penalty for carrying two figures not the X 2 of
troops.

Scoring
Fractions are rounded up.
D6 means a standard six sided dice.
D3 means a D6 score 1 or 2 =1 3 or 4 =2 5 or 6 = 3
Multiplying is done before any additions, so 3 damage doubled +2 equals 8
Pre measuring is allowed at any time

 Wudan Monk
Masters of Magic and mobility, a Wudan is
hard to pin down. They rely on their spells
for their own protection and without them
they are blade fodder.
That said, they have strong antimagic
skills and secondary healing abilitys. They
can readily stun targets and you never
quite know where they will be in a given
turn or what they will do. Trickery and
surprise, they are the Wudans 3 main
weapons…. Trickery, surprise, mobility and
supporting other figures…..

 Ronin

Ronin are master less Samurai who have disgraced

themselves. Usually a samurai just kills himself,
but some turn to banditry or alcoholism or both.
Life is meaningless to Ronin, and they don’t
really care much if they die. Their attacks are
dirty and powerful and often harm themselves.
Left with crappy armour and their old weapons
they are swords for hire. Call 0800 EMO to book

 Geisha

The Geisha is an Entertainer, Sublimely beautiful and equally

deadly. She is not averse to stabbing unsuspecting targets in
the back, or poison-darting someone from behind the paper
screens but it is her art of distraction, seduction and
obfuscation that makes her a very potent ally. Strong Samurai
can literally be caught with their pants down or left drooling.
Perhaps a Geisha is at her most dangerous when her
profession is stereotyped badly by sexist game designers.

 In the worlds before Monkey, primal chaos reigned. Heaven
sought order, but the phoenix can fly only when it's
feathers are grown. The four worlds formed again and yet
again, As endless aeons wheeled and passed. Time and the
pure essences of Heaven, the moistures of the Earth,and
the powers of the Sun and the Moon all worked upon a
certain rock - old as creation, and it magically became
fertile... Elemental forces caused the egg to hatch. From
it then came a stone monkey... The nature of Monkey was
irrepressible!
To find immortality, Monkey became the disciple of Father
Subodhi, who uttered the words of Illumination, explained
the process of Cloud-Flying — and also revealed the secret
SUN- of 72 Transformations. Which, thought Monkey, was
extremely good value for money. Returning home he
discovered they were under siege by a monster. He needed
WUKONG: was a weapon. From the Dragon King he received the great
Magic Wishing Staff, with which Heaven flattened the
Monkey Milky Way. It weighed 13,000 pounds but could expand to
fill the Universe or shrink to the size of a needle.

he was a giant demon. He was later banished, however, for
misbehavior. At a party organized for all the significant
figures in Heaven, Bajie saw the Moon Goddess for the first
time and was captivated by her beauty. Following a drunken
attempt to get close to her, she reported this to the Jade
Emperor and thus he was banished to earth., where by mishap
he fell into a pig farm and was reborn as a man-eating pig-
monster known as Zhū Gāngliè ( the "steel-maned pig").

 Sha Wujing (Sandy)
Wujing was originally a general in Heaven, more specifically a Curtain-Lifting General. In a fit
of rage, he destroyed a valuable vase. Other sources mention that he did this unintentionally,
and in the Journey to the West series, it was an accident. Nevertheless, he was punished by the
Jade Emperor, who had him struck 800 times with a rod and exiled to earth, where he was to be
reincarnated as a terrible man-eating sand demon. There, he lived in Kaidu River. Every day,
seven flying swords sent from heaven would stab him in the chest before flying off as a
punishment to him. As a result, he had to live in the river to avoid the punishment. He still
carried the weapon he had in Heaven, a yuèyáchǎn, a double-headed staff with a crescent-moon
(yuèyá) blade at one end and a spade (chǎn) at the other, with six xīzhàng rings in the shovel
part to denote its religious association. An earlier group of nine monks on a pilgrimage west to
fetch the scriptures met their end at the hands of Wujing. Despite their pleas for mercy, he
devoured them & sucked the marrow from their bones turning them into a the necklace of
skulls

Scenarios

27
Here are stand-alone scenarios suitable for your first few games of Chinese Takeout.
Further Scenarios and Ideas will be available at www.freewebs.com/tommiatkins

Day of Dishonour
Background: Fat Man Pai is Shogun Nin Ten Doh’s top Sumo wrestler. He is on his
way to Biong Pen, for the 1455 Sumo Championships. Rather a lot of yen is resting
on him winning. A lot of Ten Dohs Yen. His rival Lee Bruce plans to make sure Fat
Man Pai never makes it to the tournament.
As fat Man and his escorts camp down for the evening, assassins wait in the shadows.

Forces:
Fat Man Pai: SUMO
Chun Ki Munki: Escort leader. Samurai with Katana and Sheild
Hai tu Yu : Yamabushi Monk with Naginata Sake and Salve
Henchman with Yari
Henchman with Yari
Henchman with Yari

Inja Bac : Ninja with katana, Paralysing poisoned Shuriken, Sandels of

wirework
Nowyu Dai : Ninja with Katana
Suki Yu: Geisha with Paralysing poisoned wheels of wind and fire, Blowpipe

Setup
Board size is 36” X “36”. Central is a 6” area of about 4 high trees. A statue of
the Bhudda about 6” tall is central to the south edge. A Small barn is central on
the north edge. The rest of the board is lightly wooded, at least 20 trees outside
the central wooded area.
Fat man’s forces set up first in or on the edge of the woods.
Inja and Nowyu set up after at least 12” from any of Fats forces. Suki has
approached the camp and may set up 4” from any table edge for each successful
roll off on D6 against Fat’s player. Example; she wins or draws 3 rolls and so sets
up 12” in from the edge. Example; she loses the first roll and sets up on the table
edge.This represents how close to the camp she can get before Fat Mans side
realise that she is hostile. If Suki reaches base contact without being discovered
hostile she may not be attacked until the Ninjas are spotted or she herself
attacks.

Victory:
Inja’s force wins if Fat Man dies.
If Fat Man is dazed, He may be tied up by an adjacent opponent for 4 AP he
from then may be rolled along by an adjacent figure at 1” per 2AP.
If Fat man is captured in this way and exits the table, Inja’s team scores a
magnificent victory.
Fat Mans force wins if all opponents die or retreat off table without Fat.

28
 Vengence on the Grandfather

Background: Pu-Hi Kazi Is retired. He tends his apple orchard reflecting on a life of
adventure as a Wudan Monk. But now once again for Pu, danger lurks in The
Shadow. The local Bandit Chief Chu On Dis requires revenge. Revenge for the death
of his bandit chief father, Wha yu Wan. And to steal the gold that Pu took that was
rightfully Chu’s loot.

Forces:
Pu-Hi Kazi: Wudan Monk,unarmed.
Tentu Tu: Shaolin Monk with Katana
Chu On Dis : Ronin with Katana
6 Ashiguru with Yari’s

Setup.
Board Size is 24” X 24”. It is mostly covered with trees in straight rows. Like a
blinking orchard really! There is two or three carts with piles of apples on them.
There is the obligatory statue to Bhudda,(might as well use scenery if you have
it). Central is a hut where Pu keeps his wheelbarrow and tools.
Pu starts central on the table.
Chu’s forces may enter from any edge.
After 4 turns Pu’s old Shaolin Monk friend comes by on a random board edge
for some green tea and a chat. On seeing the Bandits he may rush to Pu’s
defence.

Victory:
Pu Wins if he survives
Chu Wins if he kills Pu. Chu may claim a marginal victory if both he survives
and a figure from his team enter the hut remain there a turn and exit the table
with a bag of swag from the hut!
