Hanafuda Koi Koi
Hanafuda Koi-Koi: A Classic Japanese Card Game
Hanafuda Koi-Koi is a beloved traditional Japanese card game. This guide provides an overview of the English rules.
Koi-Koi (こいこい), meaning "come again" or "one more time," is a two-player game played using Hanafuda cards (Japanese playing cards).
The objective is to create specific card combinations, known as "yaku," faster than your opponent. Players collect cards into a point pile by matching cards in their hand or drawn from the deck with cards already on the table. Upon completing a yaku, a player can choose to stop and score points, or continue ("koi-koi") to accumulate more yaku and higher scores. While individual card point values don't directly impact the final score, they aid in identifying valuable yaku combinations.
