Koikoi is an engaging game played with Hanafuda, the traditional Japanese playing cards. If you're looking to dive into this cultural gem, here's how you can play:
How to Play Koikoi
In Koikoi, players take turns discarding a card onto the table. If the card you play matches the month of any card already on the table, you can capture those cards. The goal is to collect sets of cards that will help you score points.
To finish a round, you need to achieve a 'flush' by collecting cards of the same month. However, you have the option to continue playing, aiming to accumulate more points. If neither player can score, the round ends without a winner.
The game is typically played over 12 rounds, and the player with the highest total score at the end emerges as the winner.
