>how familiar are you with the Hawaiian rules for hanafuda? What I learned about Higo Bana I learned by playing the downloadable hanafuda game by Mark Hashimoto. I see that his Geocities website is gone now, but his email address is (or was) alohapc at hotmail.com. I had to download an old Visual Basic DLL file to get his program to run again - and the rules of the game are given in his game's help file. I don't remember where I heard that Hawaiian hanafuda is called "higo bana" - I don't see that term listed in Mark's help file. His rules are similar to koi-koi, but have added yaku combos (see http://www.sloperama.com/hanafuda/variants.htm). Tom You must Sign in before you can post messages.
