Hanafuda Koi Koi
Hanafuda Koi-Koi: A Classic Japanese Card Game
Hanafuda Koi-Koi is a traditional Japanese card game, a popular variation of Hanafuda (Japanese playing cards). This two-player game uses Hanafuda cards to create unique combinations.
The objective is to outscore your opponent by forming specific card combinations known as "yaku." Players collect cards into a point pile by matching cards in their hand or drawn from the deck with cards already on the table. Once a "yaku" is achieved, a player can choose to stop and score points or continue ("koi-koi"), aiming for additional "yaku" and a higher score. While individual card values don't directly contribute to the final score, they're useful in identifying potential "yaku" combinations. The term "koi-koi," meaning "again" or "once more," reflects the player's decision to continue the round for a chance at greater points.
