Hanafuda Koikoi is a traditional Japanese card game, and the English version of Hanafuda Koi-Koi offers an engaging way to experience this classic pastime.

Koi-Koi, which translates to "come on" in Japanese, is a beloved card game played with Hanafuda cards. It's designed for two players and is one of the many ways to enjoy Hanafuda, the iconic Japanese playing cards.

The primary objective of Koi-Koi is to form special card combinations known as "yaku" faster than your opponent. These yaku are created from cards collected in a point pile. Players can add cards to their point piles by matching cards from their hands or drawing from the deck with cards already laid out on the table. Once a yaku is formed, players have the choice to stop and claim their points or continue playing, a move known as "koi-koi," to attempt to create more yaku for higher scores. While individual card values don't directly affect the score, they are crucial for assessing their potential in forming yaku.
