🎴 Basic How to Play (Koi-Koi)
The most common hanafuda game is Koi-Koi, played with two players who take turns matching cards by month. Points are scored by forming sets (yaku), and the player may choose to continue the round with a "koi-koi" call or end it to lock in their score. Simple to learn, the game combines memory, strategy, and elegant visuals.
Curated in Shizuoka City by Kurt Bell, this set offers a window into Japanese play and tradition — a quiet pastime steeped in nature, seasons, and subtle rivalry.
