Yakuza got me addicted to Koi-Koi and I slowly picked it up through playing, but I'm glad to see someone explain it so thoroughly with clarity in under 30 minutes.
I first played koi koi in clubhouse games. I didn't have these tutorials, so i learned by doing. This comment is mearly for sharing my experiance and boosting this vid in the algorithm.
What a pleasant video, very clear and informative. I got the same set because I collect board games and liked the look of them, but I look forward to being able to play the game with friends now
Yakuza Kiwami brought me here. Really hate Haruka's requests. Thankfully I managed to somehow get the 1000 points by sheer luck, but the game itself got me curious.
This is a Nintendo deck of hanafuda cards. www.nintendo.co.jp/others/hanafuda_kabufuda/index.html I bought mine at a store, but you can probably find them online on amazon or such if you search for Nintendo Hanafuda Cards. amzn.to/3F0mQ1W
There's so many things you didn't explain. Can I make a match between my hand and the pairs of cards I have taken? What about from the pairs I have taken and the field? Can I play multiple cards per turn if I have matches for them all? What sets can be completed simultaneously?
After more research, I believe I have the answers to these. You can only play one card from your hand and one card from the deck per turn. You can only play them in the middle area, you can't play a card from your hand directly into your captures pile. The following sets of Yaku don't stack. You can only play the highest scoring yaku from each set: 5 Seeds / Boar, Deer, and Butterflies 5 Ribbons / Blue Ribbons and/or Poetry Ribbons Any of the Lights yaku
It is traditionally 2 players but you could try reducing number of cards placed in hand and the field for more players. For example, for three players deal 7 cards to each player and 6 to the field .
Hello! Can you confirm if the point rewards from blue and red scroll sets (as their separate sets) are compounded with the combined blue&red scroll set for a total of 20 points plus 1x? Or is it all calculated in the end of the round?
@@S_risoria There are a lot of local rules or house rules which make some scoring questions like this difficult. If you had the Red and Blue Scrolls, there could be a few different ways to score. 1) Count as combine set only Red And Blue Scrolls = 10 points Total = 10 Points 2) Count as combine set only plus scrolls Red And Blue Scrolls = 10 points Scrolls 5 + 1 = 2 points Total = 12 Points 3) Treat Red and Blue as separate sets Red Scrolls + 3 = 8 points Blue Scrolls + 3 = 8 points Total = 16 points 4) Treat Red and Blue as separate sets with scrolls Red Scrolls + 3 = 8 points Blue Scrolls + 3 = 8 points Scrolls 5 + 1 = 2 points Total = 18 points The first way of scoring seems to be the most common. Before you play, you can talk with the other player and decide how you will score different sets. As for calling Koi Koi, you would call it when you first get a set and keep calling it every time you can another card that could be added to that set. So if you got three blue scrolls, you would call Koi Koi to continue. If you picked up your first red scroll after, you can add that to the blue scrolls set as an additional scroll, so you have the option to end the game or call Koi Koi again. The scoring of sets also sees some variation depending on what rules you are playing with, so just choose what you think is best.

That's the trouble with this game, really - there are no "official" rules, and the scoring, in particular, varies with almost every set of people who play it (and whether scores for hands and their sub-hands are cumulative or not is a common difference). There is a book out which lists 30 variants!
Its both luck and strategy. Deciding what set to go for based on the cards available is important. Also, you can choose cards not only for your own sets but also to stop the other player from getting a set.
You only need 1 koi koi. When you place a card on the field to match, you then also must draw from the deck and match if possible, which can allow for another light before your turn is over.
@@Aethersong so do you know if hanafuda cards come any bigger like tarot card sizes or do they just come in the traditional size that is seen in the video
So it's a joke game, where you just keep revealing (making up) new rules as it goes on, the more complicated the better. Do this with new players, and see how long it takes them to catch on and "remember" rules of their own
@@CathodeRayKobold So it's a joke comment, where you act like the fact that the game is overly complicated, to the point of seeming deliberately obtuse, means it's actually a prank being played on new players. This morphs into an actual suggestion for how to play a fun game

Thank you, this helped me win at Koi Koi in Yakuza 3!
Very well explained in just 10 minutes
Glad it helped!
Yaku…
Well, this is a pleasant surprise :D Wish I had this video when I first started learning Koi-Koi
I'm learing it and think you alot, now can play ❤️
My head hurts , you're explaining thoroughly but I still can't understand I'm so freakin dumb
Same🤚 😭
it is actually easy to understand once you've tried it. there are several hanafuda mobile games you can try for free
I just bought my first set yesterday and this video was very helpful. Well done.
This is really well done. I think you have a knack for explaining things clearly. Thank you!
Very helpful video - thanks!
Thanks for watching! If you need clarification on anything let me know!
Thanks this video help me a lot and I think I have finally understood the game!
The name of the game is so cute!! Koi-koi

Who else came here cuz of summer wars?

Im kinda confused as i have one extra cherry blossom card,
It's another scroll but with japanese characters on the side
Hello! Can you confirm if the point rewards from blue and red scroll sets (as their separate sets) are compounded with the combined blue&red scroll set for a total of 20 points plus 1x? Or is it all calculated in the end of the round?
Also, I guess...to answer part of my question. I suppose this can only happen if you call koi koi first on one of the partial sets. Is that correct?

If you had the Red and Blue Scrolls, there could be a few different ways to score.
1) Count as combine set only
Red And Blue Scrolls = 10 points
Total = 10 Points
2) Count as combine set only plus scrolls
Red And Blue Scrolls = 10 points
Scrolls 5 + 1 = 2 points
Total = 12 Points
3) Treat Red and Blue as separate sets
Red Scrolls + 3 = 8 points
Blue Scrolls + 3 = 8 points
Total = 16 points
4) Treat Red and Blue as separate sets with scrolls
Red Scrolls + 3 = 8 points
Blue Scrolls + 3 = 8 points
Scrolls 5 + 1 = 2 points
Total = 18 points

Is there a strategy to play this game? Or do you just mostly rely on luck of draw?

Gin Rummy on LSD.
How nany times can you call Koi Koi? I can't see how you could get the 5 Lights set without calling Koi Koi at least twice.
Until the cards run out and nobody wins, unlimited
You only need 1 koi koi. When you place a card on the field to match, you then also must draw from the deck and match if possible, which can allow for another light before your turn is over.
Who’s here after watching GetMadz’s latest video?
How big are traditional hanafuda cards?
Same size that I am using in this video. So much smaller than normal playing cards but much thicker (the cards are stiff and wont bend)
@@Aethersong so do you know if hanafuda cards come any bigger like tarot card sizes or do they just come in the traditional size that is seen in the video
