Re: What this a game?
The cards are called "Harifuda," and represent the numbers One through Six (left to right). There are seven of each card. I learned only a little about the game played with these cards (it's a much less interesting game than the hanafuda games, at least that's my opinion).

Re: What this a game?
I found an English page describing the rules of the game (Tehonbiki) and some variant card designs.

I think it not some variant card designs. It is three different card which you must use on game.Barticle wrote:I found an English page describing the rules of the game (Tehonbiki) and some variant card designs.

Re: What this a game?
As is now evident
I only skimmed that page - didn't read it in detail. For a game played with cards marked simply with numbers one to six, it looks pretty darn complicated!
Here's an actual photo of a full set of equipment:

I think it must be reasonably obscure. I asked my friend at work (born and raised in Japan) about the game and she'd never heard of it. Perhaps it's only played in gambling dens?

Re: What this a game?
Very strange. These cards can now be found on Japanese Internet auction sites. If they did not play anybody right now, would not have been suggestions from stores
