Description
Koi-Koi (Japanese: こいこい) is a popular card game in Japan played with Hanafuda cards which is one of ways to play Hanafuda(Japanese playing cards) with two players.
The goal of the game is to make the combination of severalcards earlier than your opponent. The phrase "koi-koi" means "come on" in Japanese which is said when the player wants to continue the hand.
The object of the game is to form special card combinations called "yaku" from cards accumulated in a point pile. Players can gain cards in their point piles by matching cards in their hands, or drawn from the draw pile, with cards on the table. Once a yaku has been made, a player can stop to cash in points, or keep going (referred to as "koi-koi", hence the name of the game) to form additional yaku for more points. The point values assigned to individual cards have no effect on the score, but they are helpful to judge their value in forming yaku.

Ratings and Reviews
Useful for learning how to play koi-koi
Wish it was online or two player as it has been noted in other reviews, but also finally feel like I’m picking up how to play koi-koi after using other apps and reading a book to describe gameplay. I really enjoy how the app separates out your captures as you go along and highlights what yaku is possible and what yaku you are close to attaining. Like other reviewers have said, I wish the koi-koi decision screen was moved slightly out of the way when trying to decide if you can score again before choosing to koi-koi or not! I know this app is older but I think there’s a lot of use here still to be gotten out of this.
Good game
I played this game a year ago but I stopped playing it because the ads were getting annoying but when I came back to the app I found the remove ads feature but I also noticed the music wasn’t working I tried checking to see if my device wasn’t muted I am muted my device and still heard no music but still the game was good OK never mind might BGM was off
I wanted a hanefuda game...
... not a dexterity puzzle. It’s a small screen interface, yet the designers insisted on forcing you to swipe the selected card onto its mate. The interface is so sensitive, though, that failing to put a card precisely onto one mate when you have a selection of two often causes the card you don’t want to get matched.
Another gross shortcoming is the dialogue box that pops up when you must decide to call “koi koi” or stop. It completely obscures the game board and locks out examining cards to determine the game state. It’s another example of flawed design built into the app.
Aside from these two features, it’s an acceptable opponent when played on “hard” setting.
