Welcome to the most famed Geisha street in the old capital, Hanamikoji. Geishas are elegant and graceful women who are skilled in art, music, dance, and a variety of performances and ceremonies. Greatly respected and adored, Geishas are masters of entertainment.
In Hanamikoji, two players compete to earn the favor of seven illustrious Geishas by collecting each Geisha’s preferred performance item. With careful speculation and a few bold moves, can you outsmart your opponent to win the favor of the most Geishas?
The key of the game mechanics lies in the way the cards are played. Each player has four action tokens, which he/she will use exactly once during his turn:
-
Choose one face-down playing card that will count for you at the end of the turn.
-
Choose two face-down playing cards that will NOT count towards the end-of-turn score.
-
Choose three cards to reveal. Your opponent chooses one to play on his side of the board, and you play the other two.
-
Choose four cards to reveal and divide them into two pairs. Your opponent then chooses one pair to play on his side of the board, and you play the other two.
During a round, each player will have a total of ten cards in hand, but three of them will be on the opponent's side for scoring, while the other two will be played by the opponent. While it seems all easy to understand and teach, it creates outstanding strategic depth. Every step is a difficult decision, whether it's choosing the order of actions or which options to present to the opponent.
You can't guarantee that a single card in your hand each turn will count towards your own score, and the strategy of choosing which options to offer your opponent is vexing in the best sense of the word. The fact that a single item card is discarded face-down before the game begins adds a dose of uncertainty and luck, and while players can make reasonable guesses about the hidden cards in play, things can never be totally ruled out.

HANAMIKOJI: Spomini gejše.
V Hanamikojiju dva igralca tekmujeta, da bi si prislužila naklonjenost sedmih slavnih gejš, tako da vsaka od gejš zbere želeni predmet za uspešnost. Ali lahko s previdnim ugibanjem in nekaj drznimi potezami prelisičite svojega nasprotnika in pridobite naklonjenost večine gejši?
Ključ mehanike igre je v načinu igranja kart. Vsak igralec ima štiri akcijske žetone, ki jih bo uporabil natanko enkrat na vrsti:
1) Izberite eno igralno karto, obrnjeno navzdol, ki bo štela za vas na koncu poteze.
2) Izberite dve obrnjeni igralni karti, ki NE bosta šteli k rezultatu na koncu igre.
3) Izberite tri karte, ki jih želite razkriti. Vaš nasprotnik izbere enega, ki bo igral na njegovi strani deske, vi pa igrate druga dva.
4) Izberite štiri karte, ki jih želite razkriti, in jih razdelite na dva para. Vaš nasprotnik nato izbere en par za igro na svoji strani deske, vi pa igrate druga dva.
Med krogom bo imel vsak igralec v roki skupaj deset kart, vendar bodo tri od njih na nasprotnikovi strani za točkovanje, medtem ko bo drugi dve igral nasprotnik. Čeprav se zdi vse preprosto za razumevanje in poučevanje, ustvarja izjemno strateško globino. Vsak korak je težka odločitev, pa naj gre za izbiro vrstnega reda dejanj ali možnosti, ki jih ponuditi nasprotniku.
Ne morete zagotoviti, da bo ena karta v vaši roki na vsakem koraku štela k vašemu rezultatu, strategija izbire možnosti, ki jih boste ponudili nasprotniku, pa je moteča v najboljšem pomenu besede. Dejstvo, da se karta z enim predmetom odvrže obrnjena navzdol, preden se igra začne, dodaja dozo negotovosti in sreče, in čeprav lahko igralci razumno ugibajo o skritih kartah v igri, stvari nikoli ni mogoče popolnoma izključiti.
