Koi Koi Shimasho 2: Super Real Hanafuda is a classic arcade game released in 1997. It brings the traditional Japanese card game of Hanafuda to the arcade cabinet, focusing specifically on the popular two-player “Koi-Koi” variant. Players compete against animated opponents in high-stakes matches to form winning card combinations and score points before the round ends.
How to play
The objective of Koi-Koi is to match cards from your hand with those on the table to create scoring combinations, or yaku. When you complete a combination, you can choose to call “Koi-Koi” to risk your points for a chance to score more, or end the round to bank your current score. In the browser, use the arrow keys to navigate the interface and select cards, and press Z or X to confirm your actions.
Tips
- Prioritize securing the valuable 20-point cards, especially the Sake Cup, as it forms the easy and high-scoring “Hanami-zake” (Cherry Blossom Viewing) and “Tsukimi-zake” (Moon Viewing) combinations.
- Pay attention to the months your opponent is collecting to block them from completing a high-value yaku like “Ino-Shika-Cho” (Boar, Deer, Butterfly).
- Be cautious when calling “Koi-Koi”; if your opponent completes a combination before you score again, they steal the win and double their points.
