About this game

Idol Hanafuda Fan Club is a strip hanafuda card game based on koi-koi, the most popular form of hanafuda in Japan. Players form specific combinations by matching cards in their hand with those displayed on the board.

Matches progress linearly without a choice of partner, and losing a single round results in Game Over. Before play begins, players can select special cards that provide certain advantages or handicaps. The game features realistic drawings of its female characters rather than a more common anime-inspired style.
