Story

What it is

Hanafuda Legends is a free online Koi-Koi game. Play in the browser or on the Android app; iOS is in review. Eleven languages, ranked seasons, and every deck earnable by playing — nothing behind a paywall.

Why I built it

Hanafuda के साथ मेरी यात्रा दो साल पहले अराउंड द वर्ल्ड इन अस्सी गेम्स नामक पुस्तक पढ़ते समय शुरू हुई थी। मैं इतिहास से तुरंत मंत्रमुग्ध हो गया - पुराने समय में जापानी सैनिकों के बीच इसकी लोकप्रियता से लेकर इस तथ्य तक कि Nintendo मूल रूप से Hanafuda निर्माता के रूप में शुरू हुआ था!

अनगिनत संस्करण ऑनलाइन चलाने के बाद, मैंने अपने दृष्टिकोण को प्रतिबिंबित करने के लिए Hanafuda Legends बनाने का निर्णय लिया कि एक प्रमुख डिजिटल Koi-Koi अनुभव कैसा दिखना और महसूस होना चाहिए। यह प्रोजेक्ट प्रेम का परिश्रम है, और मुझे आशा है कि यह आपको खेलने में उतना ही आनंद देगा जितना मुझे इसे बनाने में आया।

What's different

  • No signup required to play — ranked, private rooms, vs computer and the tutorial all work without an account.
  • 24 artist decks in the gallery, each credited to the people who made them.
  • Nintendo-standard Koi-Koi rules with house-rule options (Teshi / Kuttsuki and koi-koi variants).
  • Ranked seasons with a physical hanafuda deck as the prize for the season's top player.
