HANAFUDA:

Originating in the 16th century, Hanafuda is a traditional Japanese card game. Originally created to get round the ban on Western games, it was imported to the United States in the 1930s by Nintendo, which was originally founded to market them. A standard game pits two (or even three) players against each other and is played over six or twelve rounds, lasting around half an hour. We invite you to discover the Hana-Awase or Koi-Koi variants.
