Need online multiplayer
Mon Aug 31 2020 dotdotblank

I’m new to Koi-Koi. Having played it in Yakuza and have Koi-Koi Japan (cost a couple bucks and has online multiplayer mode) on Steam. I was hooked so I was looking for a mobile version. This game’s UI is well designed. The AI seems to be good on hard. However, there is no sound for me. I tried restarting my phone, uninstalling and reinstalling the app but still no sound. Yes, I can listen to music while playing but part of the experience is for the game’s music to pump up when you choose to Koi-Koi. For a game like this to not have online play feels very incomplete. It does have a local 2 player mode using the one phone.

Great way to learn!

My son has a deck of Hanafuda cards. Written Koi-Koi instructions are okay but not quite clear to a newbie. This game is awesome at showing you how to play! However, the ability to flip the phone and show what you have for sets (someone else mentioned this) doesn’t appear to be happening for me. It would be nice to have a zoomed image of what I have and maybe month suits in the help menu or somewhere handy. Either way, I am learning how to play! Just repetitively trying will get your brain recognizing the sets. It’s very fun. I’m glad I got this game. I would love to see more Hanafuda games like this, with an awesome tutorial. Keep up the awesome work guys! I think it’s wonderful to bring this game to more people by having an app like this that teaches and makes it fun.

I've just recently got Nintendo hanafurda cards and the instructions that came with the deck left me with a lot of questions. This app has been very helpful in teaching me how to play koi-koi. What struck me the most about this app is that is has a very simple but cute user interface for it. During my search for a koi-koi app, I was afraid of being stuck with something that had the quality of a flash game, but this game is exactly what I expect from a good quality app. The game also lets you know what combos you are close to collecting and if you flip your ipad/ipod over it'll showcase the various combos you can collect in case you forget. I have found using this app for multiplayer very useful as well, for those times when my sister and I want to play but we don't want to get the cards out. After you complete your turn, a window pops up displaying the cards you've collected/flipped over and a message saying to pass it to the other player. That way you both can't see each other's cards.

Excellent Koi Koi game

I was lucky enough to receive an actual deck of japanese hanafuda cards, and wanted to learn how to play koi koi. Ive read sites, played many other koi koi games and watched videos. This game is by far the best way of getting into and learning the game. Ive learned more in 2 rounds on this game then i have in all the other things before this. Very impressed, im now understanding how to see and play for sets of cards! Thank you very much to the developer for making this, i cant wait to play with my actual cards!

Wireless Multiplayer Please

This app is a lot of fun and very helpful at teaching you how to play! I got real cards as a gift but was having trouble getting the rules down. After playing this I feel like a master lol! My gf also got the app and it’s lots of fun playing two player on the go! Would be amazing if they added wireless multiplayer to allow you to play with people who also purchased the app on there phone!

Pretty good, but not perfect

This is a decent version of koi koi, but it seems to be in dire need of some rules tweaking and settings. Currently there are no month yakus in the game, for instance. I also wish you could just tap cards instead of just dragging them… and I wish there was a landscape mode. There is another review that complains about there being no sound in the game, but this is untrue! The game has some nice calm music and sounds, BUT you have to turn off the silent switch on your phone for sound to work :).

I used to play this with my Mom as a kid but we called it Sakura. Same game and after playing this game a few days I am picking it up quickly and learning it as I go along. Perfect game for beginners or relearning the game (like me). Great graphics but I do hope that we could have different theme sets or maybe change the background. I will add this on my Moms phone so hopefully we will get to play against friends also.

My favorite game

My favorite card game now.!!!! Lost a star because of the not good enough instructions and card explanations. Had to spend lots of time online learning how to play before getting the hang of it. Added a star because I love this game and I finally saw the winning hand explanations. The little card question mark icon. However I'm BEGGING you all to add online play lol.
