If the played card matches two cards on the table, the player gets the choice as to which card to match and therefore keep in addition to the played card. If this card matches any card now on the table, they must match that card and take both for their point pile otherwise, it becomes part of the table. After matching or discarding a card, they then draw one card from the draw pile and place it face up on the playing area. If they cannot match a card from their hand, they must discard a card face up to the table. On a player's turn, they may match by suit (that is, by month/flower) any one card in their hand with one on the table and take both into their point pile. The rest of the cards are set aside as a draw pile, and then the game begins starting with the oya. To deal, the oya deals eight cards to the ko (face down), then to the table (face up), and then to themselves (face down), though this is normally done with two or four cards at a time. The other player is called the ko ( Japanese: 子). If both players draw a card from the same month, the player with the higher value card becomes the oya. A hanafuda-specific method involves drawing a random card: each player draws a single card - the player who draws a card from the earliest month is the oya. This can be done with any method the players agree upon (e.g. The point values assigned to individual cards have no effect on the score, but they are helpful to judge their value in forming yaku.Īn initial dealer called the oya ( Japanese: 親 "parent") is decided upon when the game starts. Once a yaku has been made, a player can stop to cash in points, or keep going (referred to as " koi-koi", hence the name of the game) to form additional yaku for more points. Players can gain cards in their point piles by matching cards in their hands, or drawn from the draw pile, with cards on the table. The object of the game is to form special card combinations (or sets) called yaku ( Japanese: 役) from cards accumulated in a point pile. The phrase "koi-koi" roughly means "come on" in Japanese which is said when the player wants to continue the round. Koi-Koi ( Japanese: こいこい) is a popular card game in Japan played with hanafuda. A typical setup with hanafuda for playing Koi-Koi.
