HANAFUDA: History and How to Play

This is a really good video. Knowing the story behind something helps a lot in the learning process.

Could you please link your deck? I would love to buy this set

What is it with Japan and card/board games that practically require a cheat sheet?

They took Mahjong and made Riichi Mahjong, and then this. Both of these games can't actually be fully comprehended without cheat sheets or an insane amount of experience.

Left side of the screen. What game is that? I used to play it in Japan 40 years ago and can't remember it or the rules, just that I played it and enjoyed it.

Very fascinating history behind Hanafuda cards. One character I know of besides Mario who is associated with Hanafuda cards is Genjuro Kibagami from Samurai Showdown, as he often references the cards in some of his attacks.

Lets be honest, we all came here bc of nintendo

Who makes that deck and where can I get one? Please and Thank you!!!

How do you get them protected or commercially protected?

The history is so cool. I very recently learned of this game because of all things another card game I play that's not hanafuda.
And I'm falling in love with it.

What kind of sleeves do you use for your cards?

Can you explain Go-stop?

Okay who is this unreasonably gorgeous guy teaching me about this card game?

Hiroshi Yamauchi notices strange electronic devices labeled ATARI... Card games slowly lose their hundreds of years fanbase. ☝🏻🧐 Look up Wikipedia about his name- you're welcome.

My Japanese friend laughed when I used the term "Hanafuda cards" and told me "hanafuda means 'flower cards', so you're saying 'flower cards cards'"

I am just learning to play Hanafuda. I would oftently find the game in video games but had no idea how to play. Now I'm learning and I am having fun. Now, I need to remember all the patterns you can form to get points and those are a little hard to remember.

Haruka forced me to play this game but I didn't know how, thanks.

You seem like someone I'd get along with I too have always had a fascination in the ancient games and how they've evolved throughout history. I'm enjoying the videos keep up the great work.

wow you are suuper handsome 😵

Kool game. Cute guy 👀

I first learnt about this game from the Japanese movie Summer Wars, where the game plays a crucial part in the plot. Glad to learn how it is played, thanks.

I was looking for gifts and found hanafuda cards (was looking for playing cards with Japanese art on them) on Amazon I was intrigued and want to learn how to play 😀 this is so interesting.

Of all these years of playing Duel Masters it took 20 years to learn that Shobu’s name means game

Soooooooo uhhh… who else was brought here by Demon Slayer?

I couldnt understand like 40% of the words you were saying. So this video did not help. Sorry

is there anywhere i can buy hana hanafuda cards with the tips?

thank you from the bottom of my heart
❤️

Time to dive in the gambling den in Way of the Samurai 4!!

1889's Nintendo's Hanafuda cards

I WILL SACRIFICE MY 3 ROYAL INSPECTOR AND 3-1 FLUSH FOR A BLUE EYES WHITE DRAGON.

Oh wait, wrong anime and game

It is so fun, I play with the AI on the app, it has a certain level of risk when calling Koi Koi, I usually just pass when I get a winning hand

IF I could like this video twice I would. This is an amazing historical insight. Thank you so much for sharing this. I will make sure to teach this to my daughter.

I am Japanese and love to play Hanafuda but didn't know its history! I love Hanafuda even more now😊

I'm here because of a videogame call Yakuza Kiwami ;_;

Kibagami Genjuro intensifies

Anyone else here after watching Demon Slayer?

intimidating? lol

As a fellow ancient games enthusiast was delighted to see this channel. Great research and presentation. Looking forward to such games as Merrills, Ur, and Konane. Am eagerly awaiting the next videos.

What kind of deck are the Hanafuda cards in the thumbnail? I got some of those recently, but the website didn't specify the deck?

Also, what are the cards in the thick black frame behind you called? They look interesting. Awesome video, man. Very informative.

This channel has good potential. I look forward to seeing you grow.

I just found your video and channel and I admire your work and content. Do you speak Japanese?

Hey there. Where did you get the cards that were shown off in the how to play section of your video? They would be perfect for teaching my group how to play.

I need a pdf of those cheat bars lol

Hello everyone! I've received messages from many of you asking me where you can get hanafuda cards, so I felt like giving you a quick update. The short answer is Amazon, eBay, Aliexpress, etc., but if you really want to go out of your way to buy top quality hanafuda, I will tell you how in one of my next videos. I'm currently in vacation in my home country and my equipment is in Sweden, but I have some videos in the making, so you won't have to wait too long :)

Where did you get the cheat hanafuda cards?
