A day to remember!

[zenkatsuo]

Today will go down in history as the day when I beat the computer at hanafuda!

I'm so happy! I may suck at go, but I kick some ass at hanafuda. And hanafuda's just as cool as go. Or maybe even cooler!

o.o ...I have never heard of this better-the-go game........

Yeah you have. Masatakas bro played some in SG chapter 5. I think... Except he was playing Hana-awase, and I'm playing Koi koi.

Here's a flash Koi koi application, if you want to try it. I have to warn you though, it's terribly addictive.

It's terribly entriguing to try to figure out how to play a game when you don't really know what you're doing and the commands are in Japanese... I just read a short wikipedia article and that didn't help at all. XD

As a rule, the cards with an animal or a banner are better. Whenever you get a combination, you can either take the points and end the round or "koikoi". Koikoi'ing is basically doubling. You get better points if you get another combination before the opponent gets one. Because if the opponents beats you to it you get no points.

I'm totally addicted, and plan to get myself a hanafuda deck so I can play for realz. If you like, I can type you a up a basic set of combinations and corresponding points.
