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: Memoari jedne gejše.
U Hanamikojiju, dva se igrača natječu kako bi zaradili naklonost sedam slavnih gejši skupljajući željeni predmet svake gejše. Uz pažljivo nagađanje i nekoliko hrabrih poteza, možete li nadmudriti svog protivnika i pridobiti naklonost većine gejši?
Ključ mehanike igre leži u načinu na koji se igraju karte. Svaki igrač ima četiri akcijska žetona koje će upotrijebiti točno jednom tijekom svog poteza:
1) Odaberite jednu kartu za igranje licem prema dolje koja će vam se računati na kraju poteza.
2) Odaberite dvije karte za igranje licem prema dolje koje se NEĆE računati u rezultat na kraju poteza.
3) Odaberite tri karte za otkrivanje. Vaš protivnik bira jednog koji će igrati na njegovoj strani ploče, a vi igrate druga dva.
4) Odaberite četiri karte za otkrivanje i podijelite ih u dva para. Vaš protivnik zatim bira jedan par za igru na svojoj strani ploče, a vi igrate s druga dva.
Tijekom runde, svaki igrač će imati ukupno deset karata u ruci, ali će tri od njih biti na strani protivnika za bodovanje, dok će druge dvije igrati protivnik. Iako se čini da je sve lako razumjeti i poučavati, stvara izvanrednu stratešku dubinu. Svaki korak je teška odluka, bilo da se radi o odabiru redoslijeda akcija ili o tome koje opcije dati protivniku.
Ne možete jamčiti da će se jedna karta u vašoj ruci pri svakom potezu računati u vaš rezultat, a strategija odabira opcija koje ćete ponuditi svom protivniku uznemirujuća je u najboljem smislu te riječi. Činjenica da se karta s jednim predmetom odbacuje licem prema dolje prije početka igre dodaje dozu neizvjesnosti i sreće, a dok igrači mogu razumno nagađati o skrivenim kartama u igri, stvari se nikada ne mogu potpuno isključiti.
