This application is a traditional Japanese card game called "Hanafuda".
"Koi Koi" is a popular rule to play with Hanafuda. It allows you to play until you lose all your points and compete for points while the regular rules allow you to play only 12 rounds.
The point system is so confusing and is stacked against the player so the game is over even when the score is high. Just go back to the 6 month or 12 month play format, it’s fairer.

If I only knew Hangul or Japanese
I ONLY play this version because I’m can’t read any Asian language. The previous version was WAY better graphics-wise and gameplay. I don’t know why they messed up something that worked so well. I learned to play on v1, while this version doesn’t make it easy to learn. BRING BACK THE OLD VERSION!!! Or at least make this one better. A Hangul (Korean) version in the App Store looks like fun but I don’t get the nuances to make it fun for me. A Japanese version looks good but again, I can’t read the kanji.

The only game I play on my phone... in spite of the flaws!
Ads that won’t load, ads that crash this app, ads that BLARE sound at you, apps that feature some lame kids game......
It spite of all these I still enjoy the game. PLEASE ADD A QUIET MODE!!!!!! The video ads have disgusting sound levels (& crappy music choices).

Worse than 1st Version
Played the original app and loved it. Then one day the app stops working because it’s no longer supported by newer iOS. So download this new version — and it’s horrible!
They took away options, made the interface worse, and even took away functionality. Why would you take stuff away in the newer version?
Super disappointed that an app I loved is now gone and replaced with this nonsense.

Disappointed
The first version was much easier to understand. Is there no tutorial option?
And why are my points actually ticking down within a round every time I play a card in my hand? I was winning but my points went from 20 to 0 in 4 rounds anyway, and I have no idea why!
I’m uninstalling this tonight by the way. If the point system weren’t so annoying I would have kept it

Disappointing Hanafuda App
Nice graphics but I’m convinced this app is rigged so a player can’t get very many hands in before he/she loses all points and ends up with a very low score. I’ve played this card game using another mobile app and scored much higher. Also the app will not allow you to change the player level from easy to more difficult or vice versatile. Needs a lot of improvement.

Fix the music interruption
Every time an ad pops up or you get a game over, your music will get repeatedly interrupted. Infuriating, & needs to be fixed immediately.

Misrepresented in the description
It boasts that in other versions you only get to play 6 - 12 hands, but this version you get to play for a high score. First: that claim is not true. You play for like 1 minute loose and game over. Cue the commercial; and second what’s to stop anyone from playing another round? No one is stopping you from having more fun. Ohh wait this game is. Because it’s bad!

Hints
Is there a way to turn off card hints.

Needs better description of points.
The first version was easy to understand. Please explain the rules and points better. I’m not even sure if I win or loose!
