Hanafuda Koikoi is a traditional Japanese card game, and this is the English version of Hanafuda Koi-Koi.
Koi-Koi (Japanese: こいこい) is a widely enjoyed card game in Japan, played with Hanafuda cards. It is one of the many ways to enjoy Hanafuda, which are Japanese playing cards, typically with two players.
The primary objective of the game is to form combinations of several cards before your opponent does. The phrase "koi-koi" translates to "come on" in Japanese and is used when a player wishes to continue playing the current hand.
The main goal of the game is to create special card combinations known as "yaku" from the cards accumulated in a point pile. Players can add cards to their point piles by matching cards from their hands or drawing from the draw pile with those on the table. Once a yaku is formed, a player can choose to stop and collect points or continue playing (referred to as "koi-koi," which gives the game its name) to form more yaku for additional points. While the point values on individual cards do not directly affect the score, they are useful in assessing their importance in forming yaku.
