How Koi-koi is played here
The rules this table deals by. Everybody at the table sees the same lines before the first hand.
- Forty-eight hanafuda cards, twelve months of four. Eight each, eight face up, the rest face down.
- Play a card matching the month of one on the table and take both, or lay it down. Then turn the top of the pile and do the same.
- Captured cards make scoring combinations: the brights, the boar, deer and butterfly, the ribbons of a colour, and the counts.
- Complete one and choose: stop and score it, or call koi-koi and play on. Call it and your opponent's next yaku scores double.
How it works
- Open a table. It gets a short code of its own.
- Read the code out, or send the link. Anyone you send it to sits down as a guest, without an account.
- Deal once everyone is seated — or give each empty chair a bot and start now.
