Product Description
In Hanabi – meaning ‘fireworks’ in Japanese, you all cooperate to put up several fireworks. Everyone has a hand of several cards, each card having a colour and a number. The twist is that the cards are held face-out; hence everyone can see other players’ cards except their own. You can give clue on a colour or a number of another player’s cards; but the team has up to 8 turns of clue-sharing unless a card is discarded, with each discard giving back a turn of clue-giving. Ultimately you need to play cards to create fireworks in the correct colour in ascending order. Tensions abound as the team can only afford to make 3 mistakes, and need to complete the fireworks before the cards run out. Cooperative game with face-out cards, clue-giving and deduction makes this a first-of-its-kind. Novel, elegantly simple rules; Hanabi card game is hot! This edition by Abacusspiel – a publisher with excellent track records – has more cards than earlier French edition, hence allowing more variants.
