Hanafuda for Everyone

Hanafuda (Japanese 花札, lit. 'flower cards') are a well-known type of Japanese playing cards, for which you will find many rulesets online. Our edition is specifically geared towards beginners, has a clear and simple design, and calls out the point values, so that you can start playing right away.

There are 4 x 12 cards included in this deck, that conform to the standard compositional elements of Hanafufa, i.e. sporting the same stylistic elements (Hikari, Tane, Tanzaku, Kasu) as well as the same traditional month/flower combinations. 

The download-option gives you access to two pdf-files, the RGBA-format is more suitable to view on-screen, and the CMYK-format is what most print shops prefer to get. You can choose or keep both.

An internet search for 'Hanafuda' e.g. on fudawiki.org will present you with many different rule options, e.g. Koi Koi, Hachi Hachi, or the very traditional Hana-Awase, for which our deck is particularly well suited. 

While this game comes without a card box option, the 'rulebook' link above will give you access to a pdf file with a simple ruleset, a tuckbox template that you can print'n'cut yourself, and a cheat-sheet that has all the cards for easier reference on one page (so you can memorize the suits)!
