## Description
Kabuki is a memory game that immerses players in the world of traditional Japanese theater. The goal is to become a kabuki master by remembering and identifying the different masks used by the actors. Each round begins with players receiving coins and the mask cards being shuffled and dealt into stacks. On their turn, a player reveals a card and places it on one of the stacks. If an opponent thinks the mask is already in the stack, they can shout 'Stop!' If correct, they take coins from the active player; if wrong, they lose a coin. The round ends when a player runs out of coins or the deck is exhausted. After three rounds, the player with the most coins wins. Kabuki is a thematic version of Illusion but with a unique cultural twist.
