About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for Hii Fuu!!, a Japanese card game that will keep you on the edge of your seat! Forget everything you know about trick-taking games, because here the goal is singular: win EXACTLY TWO tricks, and most importantly, as late as possible. Sounds simple? Think again! If you take three tricks, you're out, zero points for you. Taking zero or one trick also results in a null score. The magic happens in the scoring system, which rewards those who manage to delay victory, making each trick a tense decision. And there's more: the starting hand isn't random. You'll have to make tough choices, discarding a good number of cards to build your strategy. This means everyone's intentions get intertwined, creating a board of possibilities with each game. It's a fast-paced game, with sessions lasting 20 to 25 minutes, perfect for 4 or 5 players who enjoy a strategic challenge with a touch of unpredictability. Hii Fuu!! is pure tension and fun from start to finish, ideal for those who want something different in the world of card games.
