<h1>General Hanafuda (Flower Card) Rules</h1>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
There are some characteristics common to all the games played with Hanafuda
|
|
cards. They are all played with one or more of the Asian flower card decks.
|
|
This deck is common in a number of Pacific regions including Hawaii. There are
|
|
twelve suits of four cards each. The suits are associated with the twelve
|
|
months of the year.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Most of the flower card solitaire games are played like western deck games
|
|
with minor changes. See the <a href="general_rules.html">General Rules</a> for
|
|
basic instructions on how to play solitaire. The object in most cases is to
|
|
move all the cards from the tableau to the foundations.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
In a hanafuda deck, the suits have their own ranking, arranged by the month they
|
|
represent, and in many games, the order of the suits plays an important role.
|
|
The order of the suits is as follows:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Pine - January</li>
|
|
<li>Plum - February</li>
|
|
<li>Cherry - March</li>
|
|
<li>Wisteria - April</li>
|
|
<li>Iris - May</li>
|
|
<li>Peony - June</li>
|
|
<li>Bush Clover - July</li>
|
|
<li>Eularia - August</li>
|
|
<li>Chrysanthemum - September</li>
|
|
<li>Maple - October</li>
|
|
<li>Willow - November</li>
|
|
<li>Paulownia - December</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Probably the most difficult part of learning to play with hanafuda cards is
|
|
learning which cards belong in which suits and what their ranking is. The ranking of
|
|
the suits is sometimes as important as the ranking of the cards in the suit. As
|
|
you are learning, try keeping this hanafuda help image displayed where you can
|
|
refer to it as you play.</p>
