How it feels

A strategic and progressively escalating card battle where traditional hanafuda rules meet roguelike deckbuilding and high-stakes risk management.

What players say

Players praise the tutorial for teaching hanafuda from scratch, and enjoy the roguelite twist where animal cards and upgrades let you stack absurdly high scores. The koi-koi lamp system removes frustrating RNG, letting you focus on building big hands, while the difficulty stays forgiving thanks to persistent upgrades.
