Description
Hanafuda cards originated in beginning of 18th-century Japan.
Legend says stewards of Edo Shogunate created it from Portuguese playing cards.
A deck consists of forty-eight cards divided into twelve suits of four cards each. Each suit represents one of the twelve months of the year or individual plants (almost all flowers).
The cards are small (about 1 x 2 inches), made from stiff cardboard, and are beautifully illustrated.
Many different games can be played with a Hanafuda deck.
The standard game was Hachi-Hachi (Eighty-eight), which resembles the Western game Casino, but is more complicated and subtle. The standard game now is Koi-Koi.
Re-implemented by:
Go Stop, the game using Hwatu (화투, 花闘), Korean Hanafuda.

- if you find updating kickstarter to be a pain which you must if you ever run a kickstarter campaign what i've started doing recently is in the last few campaigns is creating a psd a file where i'm just putting the art for the kickstarter page in and moving it around and adjusting it and so like building out the entire page off of kickstarter and then once it looks really good and moving it over it's so much faster it's so much easier to iterate on if you do kickstarters and that's the only thing you take away from this video that's a super valuable thing
- Hanafuda on the other hand is actually a pretty large audience
- this is a fantastic addition to the 100 tory which is a great game and this is this is a really special version of of a classic fantastic traditional game
- shipping is is very problematic right now

Quotes (from this video)
- i wanted to take a break from kickstarter not because i had any problem with kickstarter per se though there has been drama around with their web 3 and blockchain stuff just for another video but um because i didn't have clarity or confidence in manufacturing shipping timing expense costs and i didn't want to do a kickstarter being a commitment that i felt like i was obligated to meet which you should be but that we wouldn't be able to do it
- i was sitting on a deluge of unpublished ready to go stuff
- you know we took a a large gamble
- the upfront cost of producing for of of developing this is limited
- ultimately i felt like well this is our opportunity to draw people to our web store
- this is like pre-order and then within six weeks you're gonna get your game and then we'll release it to retail and that's really exciting it's just exciting to have somebody buy something they're they are interested and get it somewhat soon as opposed to kickstarter where you can wait a year
- really the whether or not this risk was worth it and and and all things consider is going to come down to how delicious done
- seven thousand though is incomparable to what we've been doing in these titles in that typically from the kickstarter you'll sell about fifteen hundred to two thousand
- it's going to come down to a market response
- you know if if if you don't want to pay shipping you just some sort of water isn't going to be an option internationally because it's not going to be in retail
- cool experiment don't want to do it again

Quotes (from this video)
- My biggest flaws is having really big ambition and in the tech world in the startup world I'm able to do things and I'm able to follow up with my ambition and it was the first time in making a board game I had honestly no idea what I was in the store for.
- The reason why we're called quality Beast is because I do care a lot about the quality of the game production but also the quality of the mechanics.
- Worth the wait.
- Find out things that are your flaws and I'm not saying autism is a flaw but what it created was often bad communication.
- Have somebody check your language have somebody check your understandability.
- Sometimes it took I mean I've sort of I you know ultimately there's always different expectations for different kickstarters based on X Y or Z but from my perspective like I don't at some point I'm just trying to freeze it right like you do a lot of kickstarters it's like I don't need the next Kickstarter to be bigger than the last.
- The cost of making it the components of getting in then the you know wholesale and all the different you know steps you know people in it and what what how you're selling it all ties in.

Quotes (from this video)
- And as is tradition on this channel, whenever Pencil First Games is doing a new Kickstarter, I do this video on what we did differently this time around.
- The campaigning question here is our Hanafuda large format edition.
- So really a very different edition but using a lot of the same card art and things like that.
- our page is very typical Pencil First Games if you look at it and we'll link the link but clean layout.
- We're pretty happy with the pledge management tool, the support from the Kickstarter team.
- And this has been pretty successful for us. They're Kickstarter only and then we sell direct so they don't go to retail.
- So they have a lot of advantages and in many cases I've used sort of simplified contracts to you know just have less overhead and upkeep to like try to create and and drive these products.
- So this is the first time we're just saying all that's on sale in this Kickstarter is this.
- And we're also going after part of this is taking this thing that was more expensive, making it cheaper.
- So effectively when you release something and it's only $12. What you're saying is the most money that you can contribute to this Kickstarter is $12.
- We're really just having a a small focus campaign.
- And so in that regard, it's, you know, off the table.
- We just want to do really beautiful simple card poker size edition and make it available to folks.
- And so it is something that we always think about on a campaign but for this one sort of stuck to the simp stuck to the simplified version.
- And most manufacturers now will bring it up to you.
- And tariffs have been a huge part of that conversation and obviously are just unsettled as of making this video.
- and everyone's super busy and not interested ed in small print runs and and and working with small fries
- Kickstarter and direct to consumer does enable or support or allow give a little bit more flexibility when it comes to your costs or cost of goods or or or what ultimately it takes to manufacture product
- So, it's an ongoing conversation. It's ongoing consideration.
- Uh but for now, we look at it as part of, you know, uh uh uh it's probably the difference between this Kickstarter campaign being $12 versus 10, right?
- So, you know, but that's how we're thinking about it and that's how we're thinking about today.
- If you don't have never played Hanafuda, please try it.
- it's such a delightful little game and I think it really is a fantastic contrast to sort of the history of of of of of poker and and and and Hana.
- So like I just think it's a fascinating history. It's a fascinating product. It's a lot of fun. and I really enjoy it
