Hanamikoji
Seven geisha, 21 gift cards and four actions you can each use once a round.
What it is
A small card duel, and a good fit for couples. You compete for the favor of seven geisha by giving each her preferred gifts. There are four actions and each is used once a round, and two of them make you offer cards while your opponent picks first. Four geisha or 11 charm points wins.
What we love
- The I split, you choose moves make every offer a small puzzle
- It can end in one round and runs three at most
- A full round takes only a few minutes, so a rematch is easy
Honest trade-offs
- Five gift cards go unrevealed each round, one removed at the start and two from each player's Trade-off, and tight margins let luck decide some games
- Overthinking slows it badly
- The geisha theme is set dressing, with gifts such as fans and hairpins and nothing sensual reported in reviews, but some buyers may want a look first
