Go-Stop
Go-Stop (), also called Godori (, after the winning move in the game) is a Korean Card game#Fishing games, fishing card game played with a Hanafuda, Hwatu () deck. The game can be called Matgo () when only two players are playing. The game is derived from similar Japanese fishing games such as ''Hana-awase'' and ''Hachihachi'', though the Japanese hanafuda game ''Koi-Koi, Koi-koi'' is in turn partially derived from Go-Stop.

When a "Go" is called, the game continues, and the number of points or amount of money is first increased, and then doubled, tripled, quadrupled and ...

Cut (cards)
In card games, to cut the cards (also "cut the deck" or "cut the pack") is to split the deck into two packets by lifting one packet from the top and placing it face down next to the remaining cards beneath it. The lower packet is then placed on top of it. This is typically done after the cards have already been shuffled, and the procedure is used just prior to the cards being dealt to the players. The aim of this is to reduce the possibility of cheating, for example, by knowing the top or bottom card. Cutting the cards is also a common way of determining the seating order at a card table, the partnerships or the first dealer. Purpose The practice of cutting is primarily a method of reducing the likelihood of someone cheating by manipulating the order of cards to gain an advantage. Even if the dealer (or the shuffler, if they are not the dealer) does not plan on cheating, cutting will prevent suspicions, thus many rules require it. Some players also consider the cut to be luc ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Koi-Koi
is a popular card game in Japan played with ''hanafuda''. The phrase "koi-koi" means "come on" in Japanese which is said when the player wants to continue the round. The object of the game is to form special card combinations (or sets) 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''. Deal An initial dealer called the ''oya'' ( "parent") is decided upon when the game starts. This can be done with any method the players agree upon (e.g. rock-paper-scissors, dice roll). A hanafuda-specific method involves drawing a random car ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
