How to play the game Master Makatsu?

Game Setup

  1. Shuffle the Makatsu deck(including Action, Bonus, Penalty cards, etc.).
  2. Deal each player a starting handaccording to the rules.
  3. Place the remaining cards in a draw pileand prepare the central area for played or discarded cards.

Gameplay outline

Each turn unfolds in three simple steps:

  1. Play a card from your handto activate its effect:
    Gain points, achieve ninja objectives, or counter an opponent.
    Some cards modify the draw pile, others allow for powerful combos.
  2. Resolve immediate effectsof played cards:
    If multiple players play similar cards, the effects can chain together, creating interesting tactical interactions.
  3. Complete your handat the end of your turn by drawing cards according to the rules.

The game progresses in this manner until specific end-game conditionsare met — either by accumulated points, by exhausting the draw pile, or by a combination of key cards in hand.

Win/Loss Condition

Victory is achieved as soon as a player reaches the score or final objective defined by the variant being played:

  • Accumulation of victory points by completing ninja objectives.
  • Accomplishment of rare combinations faster than your opponents.
  • Certain modes offer a maximum score conditionedby the Bonus cards obtained.


The first to meet one of these conditions wins the game, making it a fast-paced, competitive game suitable for all levels.

  • Master your hand

    Properly managing the sequence of cards you play is crucial: some cards are more powerful when played in a combo.

  • Anticipate adverse actions

    Keep an eye on what your opponents are playing: a poorly anticipated Ninja can steal a victory you thought was yours.

  • Use your Bonus cards wisely

    Bonuses are not just worth points: they can also set up very decisive chain reactions.
