Kiki's Koi-Koi

Hanafuda with a friendly face

Published by: How Seven

Description

Kiki's Koi-Koi offers a classic Japanese card game with bright graphics, an intuitive interface, and just the right balance of strategy and luck to pass the time away. Oh, and it stars a fish.
WHAT IS KOI-KOI?
Koi-Koi is a simple two-player card game played with the colorful Japanese cards known as Hanafuda. Match cards from your hand to those on the table to make sets or call "Koi-Koi" to press your luck for more points. But watch out! Your opponent may score bonus points from your risk-taking. How far are you willing to test the fates?
DESIGNED FOR ALL PLAYERS
Is this your first time playing Koi-Koi? Kiki's got you covered. She can walk you through a full hand of play and show you the ropes. Or if you'd prefer to dive in, skip the tutorial and start up a game against Kiki herself. She'll show you which cards you can match, getting you on your feet instantly.
Or perhaps you're a seasoned pro. Well, Kiki's been training for a long time, waiting for this day to arrive. She's ready to play and can't wait for you to step up to the table. Do you have what it takes to defeat the reigning Fish League champion? (That's what Kiki calls herself, by the way.)
STEP ASIDE, KIKI
If you've got a friend with you, the two of you can play against each other with just one device. Pass the game back and forth and see who's the real Koi-Koi Master.

Kiki's Koi-Koi Reviews

Pretty good, but not perfect

chibzly on

United States

This is a decent version of koi koi, but it seems to be in dire need of some rules tweaking and settings. Currently there are no month yakus in the game, for instance. I also wish you could just tap cards instead of just dragging them… and I wish there was a landscape mode. There is another review that complains about there being no sound in the game, but this is untrue! The game has some nice calm music and sounds, BUT you have to turn off the silent switch on your phone for sound to work :).

nice implementation

however its hard to strategize when you cannot see chaff collected. if you could at least see the by holding a finger over them or something, would make this my main hanafuda app.

Probability matrix gives computer the advantage

I have my own deck to play hanafuda and I’ve never received Moon/Cherry Cups on first draw three games in a row. Also the computer receives more matches when drawing from the deck. As I have been playing hanafuda for over a decade I can still win most matches but having a play against a score of 30+ is quite difficult on the third hand after only 3 draws. I can’t recreate that scoring opportunity with my own deck.

Love it!

Well-designed and intuitive tutorial, the game itself is my go-to app for a mentally challenging diversion. I only wish there was a way I could re-play certain hands to see how different decisions would have played out. This would help me get better from here on.

Great way to learn!

My son has a deck of Hanafuda cards. Written Koi-Koi instructions are okay but not quite clear to a newbie. This game is awesome at showing you how to play! However, the ability to flip the phone and show what you have for sets (someone else mentioned this) doesn’t appear to be happening for me. It would be nice to have a zoomed image of what I have and maybe month suits in the help menu or somewhere handy. Either way, I am learning how to play! Just repetitively trying will get your brain recognizing the sets. It’s very fun. I’m glad I got this game. I would love to see more Hanafuda games like this, with an awesome tutorial. Keep up the awesome work guys! I think it’s wonderful to bring this game to more people by having an app like this that teaches and makes it fun.

Online multiplayer please!

We love this game and this version. You have one of the best versions out there! We’d love an online multiplayer option so we can play with each other while being apart. We’d be willing to pay!!

Need online multiplayer

dotdotblank on

United States

I’m new to Koi-Koi. Having played it in Yakuza and have Koi-Koi Japan (cost a couple bucks and has online multiplayer mode) on Steam. I was hooked so I was looking for a mobile version. This game’s UI is well designed. The AI seems to be good on hard. However, there is no sound for me. I tried restarting my phone, uninstalling and reinstalling the app but still no sound. Yes, I can listen to music while playing but part of the experience is for the game’s music to pump up when you choose to Koi-Koi. For a game like this to not have online play feels very incomplete. It does have a local 2 player mode using the one phone.

Wireless Multiplayer Please

Wooden Ghost on

United States

This app is a lot of fun and very helpful at teaching you how to play! I got real cards as a gift but was having trouble getting the rules down. After playing this I feel like a master lol! My gf also got the app and it’s lots of fun playing two player on the go! Would be amazing if they added wireless multiplayer to allow you to play with people who also purchased the app on there phone!

Keeps crash halfway through a round against hard opponent

MindfulGamer1111 on

When i play and easy opponent on twelve months game it works fine. But when i play against a hard opponent in a twelve month game it keeps crashing. Not cool.

Elegant, Well-Designed Koi Koi App

Soapfish_Art on

United States

Perfectly designed. Everything runs smooth, looks great, and the AI seems good. The only thing that could make it better is live multiplayer support but that is a whole different can or worms. $1.99 is totally worth it to not have annoying ads or buggy crashes like a lot of the other Koi Koi games on the app store.
