Junior hanafuda cards are pretty good and easy to use (I recommend the dragon/tiger deck though, they have slightly better designs than the phoenix deck). I used to play hanafuda games with my coworkers during our off periods
Having gotten used to the standard Hanafuda deck as popularized by Nintendo, I prefer it compared to modified decks even with modern games. I already memorized the flower suits with the months. In the Korean game, the November and December flower suits are swapped places. The game will play as well with the standard Hanafuda deck.
Nice to hear about a modern hanafuda game. It sounds like something not for me - I think I'd get annoyed with the variance in suit values and also the number of extra combinations kinda reminds me of Cribbage, which I felt had so many combinations that didn't really add joy to the game (for me) but just added things to remember. Having said all that, if I had an interest friend, I'd LOVE to give this (and other Hanafuda) games a go. I've heard of the cards but don't know them super-well. I'd love to learn more about these sorts of games, so subbed.
Thank you for the comment! That is the biggest barrier for me as well. The Hanafuda cards look wonderful, but learning the system is quite the hurdle for casual players. :)
In the "scoring" section, you only mention the yaku made from the three red poetry ribbons and the blue ribbons (what would be considered "akatan" and "aotan," respectively, in koi-koi), but no yaku involving the blank red ribbons (e.g., as in koi-koi's "tanzaku," or any five ribbons, for one point). Is there simply no yaku using the blank red ribbons in hanaya? Similarly, I'm guessing there's no "tane" or "kasu" yaku in this game either, then? Just curious!
I think the traditional Hanafuda cards are more beautiful. Too bad I don't really like Koi-Koi that much. It's fun for a little while. I wonder if this variant offers more player control. It reminds me of Jaipur.

Love hanafuda. 🎴Happy to see you diving into them and making videos. Looking forward to more!
For sure! Koi Koi is on my radar.
I’m going to learn Hanaya instead of Koi-Koi first simply because you have a video of it.
This reminds me of Jaipur so much!

Great suggestions :)
