Introduction -= -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Hanafuda Yuukyou Den is, as you guessed, a Hanafuda playing card game for the Famicom. It is based on the Koi-Koi style of play. Basically, you play with picture cards, and the objective is to make pairs and combinations known as "yaku", which is how you ultimately score points. As with many such games in the era, this one involves scantily clad women, who you get to see more of as you win more and more. Nonetheless, the Hanafuda card game is fun and a bit different than the usual cards you know, so I would recommend trying it out! ***************************************************************************** -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= -= 3.

Overview -= -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= ============ Starting Off ============ When the game begins, you can pick one of three girls to play against. This is a matter of your own personal preference, since the more you win, the more revealing pictures of these girls you will see. Before each actual match begins, you will go to a screen where you can spend your Power points (earned randomly during the matches when drawing cards from the deck). Below is a quick rundown of what each option on that list is. 手札透視メガネ (View Opponent's Cards) - 10 Power 手札変換 (Card Exchange at Match Start) - 15 Power 猪底蝶 (Inoshikacho) - 20 Power 青短 (Aotan) - 25 Power 赤短 (Akatan) - 30 Power 三光 (Sanko) - 35 Power 究極五光 (Ultimate Goko) - 40 Power =========== How to Play =========== At the start of a Hanafuda game, each player is dealt 8 cards, and 8 cards are dealt face up in the middle area. On your turn, you pick one of the cards in your hand to make a match with another card in the middle. The two cards you matched up will be moved to your own private area. You will then draw a card from the unused deck stack, and if another match can be made from that card, you get to keep it as well. If you can't make a match, either with your first card or the one drawn from the deck, you simply leave the card face up in the middle area. The main objective of the game is to form "yaku", or certain combinations of cards. On their own, the cards are not worth anything, but if you make yaku, you can score points that way. If during the game you end up making a yaku, you will have the option of calling Koi-Koi (こいこい), which means you can keep playing and hopefully make more yaku to earn more points. Also, you can end the game right at that point and keep the points you just earned. It can be dangerous to call Koi-Koi since if your opponent gets a yaku and decides to end the game, you don't win anything. In addition, whatever points you earn are also subtracted from your opponent's tally (if your opponent wins 8 points, you will lose 8 points). In this particular rendition, there are only 12 matches to be played total, so the game will end after the 12th one. As you win matches, you will get to see the female opponent become more scantily clad, culminating in a nude shot at the end. If you lose a match, the game will be over. The types of yaku are listed below: Yaku Points Cards ---- ------ ----- Kasu 1 Any 10 1-point cards Tan 1 Any 5 5-point cards Tane 1 Any 5 10-point cards Akatan 5 All 3 Red Ribbon cards (Pine, Ume, Sakura) Aotan 5 All 3 Blue Ribbon cards (Peony, Chrysanthemum, Maple) Hanami-zake 5 Sake Cup and Sakura Banner cards Inoshikacho 5 Boar, Butterfly, Deer cards Sanko 5 Any 3 20-point cards (excludes Rainman card) Tsukimi-zake 5 Moon and Sake Cup cards Ame-Shiko 7 Any 4 20-point cards (includes Rainman card) Shiko 8 4 20-point cards (excludes Rainman card) Goko 10 All 5 20-point cards ====================== Hanafuda Playing Cards ====================== The playing cards for this and other Hanafuda card games are comprised of 12 suit, representing every month of the year. Each suit has four picture cards; generally there are two cards (usually with pictures of that month's flower or some other generic design) in each suit worth one point, one worth five (a poetry ribbon, usually), and a special card worth 10-20 points. Keep in mind these points are not for your actual score; if you don't make a yaku, they are meaningless. Here is a quick rundown of the cards in the game: Month Flower Cards ----- ------ ----- January Pine Two normal (1 point) One poetry ribbon (5 points) One special (Crane and Sun; 20 points) February Ume Two normal (1 point) One poetry ribbon (5 points) One special (Bush Warbler in Tree; 10 points) March Sakura Two normal (1 point) One poetry ribbon (5 points) One special (Camp Curtain; 20 points) April Wisteria Two normal (1 point) One red ribbon (5 points) One special (Cuckoo with Moon; 10 points) May Iris Two normal (1 point) One red ribbon (5 points) One special (Water Iris and Bridge; 10 points) June Peony Two normal (1 point) One purple ribbon (5 points) One special (Butterfly; 10 points) July Hagi Two normal (1 point) One red ribbon (5 points) One special (Boar; 10 points) August Susuki Two normal (1 point) Two special (Geese in Flight; 10 points) (Full Moon with Red Sky; 20 points) September Chrysanthemum Two normal (1 point) One purple ribbon (5 points) One special (Sake Cup; 10 points) October Maple Two normal (1 point) One purple ribbon (5 points) One special (Deer and Maple; 10 points) November Willow One red ribbon (5 points) Three special (Lightning; 1 point) (Swallow; 10 points) (Rainman; 20 points) December Paulownia Three normal (1 point) One special (Chinese Phoenix; 20 points) ***************************************************************************** -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= -= 5.
