Description

Be the first player to get rid of all of your cards!

Join forces with fellow players to beat cards played by other players...or independently play the highest card to outdo all your opponents together, flushing their cards down the drain!

Fuji Flush is a fast, fun, easy-to-learn card game that will have you shouting as your cards are sent down the drain!

Fuji Flush is a card game, which consists of cards numbered 2 through 20, with higher numbers being rarer. Each player holds six cards at the beginning. In clockwise order, players play one card each. If it is higher than another card currently on the table, the lower card or cards are discarded and the players who had played the lower cards must draw a new card. However, if two or more players play the same number, the card values are added together. When it is a player's turn and their card is still in front of them, they can discard it without redrawing. First player(s) to get rid of their cards wins!

Fuji Flush supports from 3 to 8 players! A great game for large player counts!

Overall sentiment (raw)
positive
Pros
  • Clear shedding mechanic that is easy to grasp
  • Fast-paced rounds that support social play
  • Low cognitive load makes it accessible to a wide audience
Cons
  • A degree of luck can dominate outcomes in some sessions
  • Less emphasis on deep strategic planning compared to more complex abstract games
Thematic elements
  • card management and table discipline with fast rounds
  • Casual party-style shedding game, often played in informal group settings
  • n/a
Comparison games
  • Uno
  • Fool (as a related shedding/trick-taking hybrid)
Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
  • card reveal and comparison — On a player's turn, they place a card face-up; if the revealed card is lower than a previous card, it has no effect. If it is higher than a card already on the table, the higher card is discarded and its owner draws a new one from the deck, creating a constantly shifting set of visible cards.
  • matching and pile interaction — If a player plays a card that matches one or more previously played cards, there is a cumulative interaction where the totals associated with those cards get added into the table state, influencing later plays and potential discards.
  • shedding — The primary objective is to be the first player to empty your hand. Players reveal cards, and the revealed order and interaction drive the flow. When certain conditions are met, cards are discarded or drawn anew, contributing to a dynamic cycle of hand management and table state.

Quotes (from this video)
  • This is a shedding game and the defining feature of shedding is getting rid of all your cards before the others.
  • It's a trick-taking shedding game, you’re blending three different genres into a single play experience.
  • Vampire Queen is a climbing game for three to twelve players; it’s trick-taking, it’s shedding, and it’s climbing all at once.
  • The seven-trick scoring in Front Gherkin is the crown jewel for how you measure endgame value, and that choice shapes how players pace their risk.
  • Fool sits at that interesting intersection of bid, bluff, and penalty, where the loser gets punished for a misstep and the winner enjoys the lead again.
  • Wizard’s bidding and trick-taking dynamic creates a natural tension between prediction and execution, very much in the spirit of Skull King but with its own twist.
  • The history lesson here is that the East and West diverged in their design philosophies, and we now live with a delightful spectrum of games that sits between climbing, shedding, and trick-taking.
