RogueHanafuda

RogueHanafuda combines hanafuda, a traditional Japanese flower-card game, with roguelike deckbuilding. Matches follow the card-matching style of Koi-Koi. Players collect cards to form scoring combinations, and a rent bill arrives every month that can only be paid with hanafuda points. The rent increases over time, so players build their deck to keep pace.

During play, players can call “Go” (Koi-Koi) to continue a round and multiply their score, taking on extra risk in the process. Players can also unlock new scoring combinations and collect relics that increase the points they earn.

The game includes a guided first run for players unfamiliar with hanafuda, which explains the cards, the rules and the combinations. Progression carries over between runs. Each game scatters petals, which build up as a permanent currency, and these can be spent to unlock new combinations and special cards for later runs.
