Every card belongs to one of the twelve suits, thus every suit has a total of four cards in it.

Pros and cons of Hanafuda Koi-Koi ver. app for iPhone and iPad

Hanafuda Koi-Koi ver. app good for

Wanted to learn the game after watching Summer Wars. This App let me do that. The English translation of the rules was confusing, but you can sort things out by playing. Fun and addictive.
This app is ver good, however the instructions for how to play are a little confusing for a first timer. This is the best koi koi game for the iphone
Ive downloaded several hanafuda koi-koi apps and this one is by far the best. Intuitive interface is suitable for fast and slow-paced playing styles. A little confusing for newbies, but if you keep playing youll get the hang of it.
There is lots of bad grammer on the prompt screens. While it does not affect the game play it is a bit annoying. With a little editing this could be an awesome game.
While its true the spelling could be a bit better, (Janruary) Im not here to read. Im here to throw some cards. Its also true that the AI steps it up when youre winning, but its very possible to win. I play this frequently. Its simple, fun, and gives you the option to choose as many hands as you have time to play.

Some bad moments

bought this game full version. I was terrible upset with the cards (graphics). Very poor graphics. Couldnt make heads or tails what it is. Although the game is very interesting, theres other better graphics. Donot buy very poor. Some of other hanafuda arent english version. Hopefully, the makers will update to make it english version.
AI is easy until you start winning by like 10 or more points then it seems to cheat and automatically give the CPU all the good cards. This becomes very annoying
