Master Makatsu is a brisk family and party card game in which players take on the role of dōjō trainers and, over three game days, send out their trainees—ninja cards of various colors and values. Your goal is to avoid playing the highest card in the current color, or you’ll collect penalty tokens. Every decision counts, because the cards you discard today become your draw deck tomorrow.
The rules are easy to explain, but the game rewards clever planning, good timing, and reading your opponents. As the days progress, the value of penalty points increases, so the tension builds right up to the final card. Thanks to its quick pace and variability, the game is perfect for families, friends, and game nights.
