Application Description

Hanafuda Koikoi is a cherished traditional card game originating from Japan. This English version of Hanafuda Koi-Koi brings the essence of the game to a broader audience.

Koi-Koi, known in Japanese as こいこい, is a widely enjoyed card game played with Hanafuda cards, representing one of the engaging ways to play Hanafuda, which are traditional Japanese playing cards, typically with two players.

The primary objective of the game is to swiftly assemble various card combinations before your opponent does. The term "koi-koi," translating to "come on" in Japanese, is used when a player decides to continue the round, seeking to accumulate more points.

The core of the game revolves around creating special card combinations known as "yaku" from the cards collected in a point pile. Players collect cards for their point piles by matching cards from their hands or those drawn from the draw pile with the cards laid out on the table. Once a yaku is formed, players face a crucial decision: they can either stop to claim the points earned or opt for "koi-koi" to pursue additional yaku for potentially higher scores. It's important to note that while the individual card values do not directly impact the score, they play a significant role in evaluating their importance in forming yaku.
