Makoto is a beautifully illustrated climbing card game of timing, strategy, and restraint, set in feudal Japan. Players take the role of wandering Ronin, seeking honor through clever play and sincere judgment. Each round, play combinations of cards or runs to outmaneuver opponents, manage the shared “blind,” and decide when to strike or hold back. Powerful Kensei combinations can turn the tide, while scoring favors those who play wisely across multiple rounds. Elegant yet deeply tactical, Makoto captures the spirit of sincerity and skill in a quick, engaging game for 2–5 players, playable in 30 minutes.

Samuel F. ★★★★★

The tension of deciding when to hold back and when to strike really captures the feel of a samurai duel. My first game had me on the edge of my seat, and the rulebook is surprisingly clear for such strategic depth.

Sebastian ★★★★★

The artwork on the cards is stunning, really brings the feudal Japan theme to life. I love how the climbing mechanic forces you to balance aggression with patience, and the timing adds a great layer of tension. We played three rounds back-to-back, and each one felt completely different.
