I have spent many hours on this game. Its history is so fascinating. It takes getting used to, but when you get the hang of it, and having a great gaming partner, you can have a fantastic time. I have a friend I taught to play some years ago, and we played online *a lot* during Covid. Announcing "Koi Koi" means "come come!," a sort of mocking call to the opponent to try to make them gamble more (especially in its history).
This video is overall a great tutorial on Koi-Koi, but the game has some variations and fine details not covered in the video that are worth mentioning. 1) Instead of referring to cards as 20-point, 10-point, 5-point, and 1-point, you can reduce some confusion by calling them Lights (or Brights), Seeds (or Animals), Ribbons (or Scrolls or Slips), and Chaff (or Plains) respectively. You could also refer to them by their Japanese names if you'd prefer. 2) The sake cup card in the September suit counts as both a Seed and Chaff card at the same time. 3) At 3:08, it's said that the Three Lights combo is worth 6 points, but it's usually worth 5. Getting the March curtain, August moon, September sake cup, and either the January crane or December phoenix is thus worth 15 points before doubling. 4) A common variation is such that the current round ends as soon as any player makes a valid combo after Koi-Koi is called. This is how Nintendo's version of the game in _Clubhouse Games_ works. 5) An optional combo to recognize is all four cards of any given month. If you choose to recognize such a combo, it scores 4 points. I don't recommend this, but you may want to give it a try.
If you can find more people to play with I believe there is a multiple player game called "Hachi-Hachi". Like other Hanafuda, it is VERY known for gambling lol
Very interesting game. There is a deck that has point values on the cards to help those new to the game. A friend of mine had a special Mario Bros deck that he got from Nintendo. He tried to teach me how to play, as well as Mahjongg, but I never quite got the hang of either.
good explanation. still having a very hard time just because these suits are not intuitive at all lol. like half of them have flowers, half have leaves, a quarter have scrolls, 90% of them are plants, like how tf do I get "sake" from one picture of flowers and "1 pointer" from the other flower card
You'd need different combos to play this game with French-suited cards since they lack the symbols and unequal groupings of hanafuda. I've thought of how to do that, but I haven't found any solutions.
That's by far the greatest card, dominoes and dice games channel on TH-cam. Some suggestions for the new videos: - Barbu (a 4 player compendium game with 7 contracts: each player must play each contract once) - Last One (Crazy Eights variation where certain cards have special effects) - Belote and its auction variant Coinche (the national card game of the French, close relative of Klaberjass) - Baccarat (in which the player tries to make a total as close as possible to 9, ignoring 10s) - Poker Bull (a game of bluff, similar to Liars Dice but played with poker hand) - Dingo (a 4 player hunting game in which players score for matching the current rabbit card (diamond) with a dingo (heart) or wolf (black card) of the same rank) - Mate (a 2 player game of perfect information, points are scored by giving “mate” to an opponent, this is achieved by leading a card which the other player is unable to match in number or suit) - Hombre/Tresillo ("the original bidding game", a 3 player plain-trick game in which players bid for the right to play alone against the other 2) - Preference (3 player game, in the basic contract the bidder's objective is to win at least 6 tricks, while the opponents, if they choose to defend, must win at least 2 each) - Sedma (game in which each trick is won by the last card played that is equal in rank to the card led) - 22 (game where the object is to avoid winning the last trick, there are multiple tricks) - Yaniv/Jhyap/Dhumbal (have some similarity to Rummy, but combinations are discarded rather than melded) - Truco (each player is dealt 3 cards, which are played out in tricks; in some versions, before the tricks are played points are also scored for holding combinations of cards in the same suit; players can bet to increase the scores, both for the tricks and for combinations; the bluffing, talking and joking that goes with this are an important part of the game) - Texas 42 (a trick taking domino game based on Pitch) - Bingo (a trick taking domino game based on Sixty-six)

Nintendo was first founded specifically for the production and selling decks of these cards.
And it was lucrative, as the yakuza of the period would buy new decks for each game played as to avoid rigged decks

Thank you
Very cool game, and looove the hanafuda cards! Bit sad that it's the only game I found to play with them but thanks for sharing it!
If you can find more people to play with I believe there is a multiple player game called "Hachi-Hachi". Like other Hanafuda, it is VERY known for gambling lol

New uncharted territory with the hanafuda deck!

Interesting. Could this be played with standard cards?

You should also try to play "Oicho kabu"
what is Bright Animal Chaff and Ribbon groups cards are placed on player sider? thats what i saw on BGA
Where can I buy a deck of this original style, I can’t seem to find the right ones on amazon
Can you do a
"How to play UNO FLEX"
is this the same deck used for the korean game go-stop?
It is with variations in art and maybe some rules. Hanafuda are called "Hwatū" by Koreans from my understanding.
