## Description

In This Challenging Cooperative Card Game, Players Work Together To Launch A Spectacular Firework Display. Trouble Is, It'S Dark Out, So You Can'T Really See What You Are Working With. Each Player Holds Their Cards So That Only The Other Players Can See Them. They Must Give Each Other Vital Information And Remember All The Information Received. Then Use The Information To Choose Which Cards To Play. Helping Each Other Play The Right Cards At The Right Time Is The Key To Creating An Unforgettable Show And Avoid Being Booed By The Audience.

Review: This is a really great game. The setup is simple, the rules are easy to learn and yet there is a lot of replay value. Even as you begin to learn the logic patterns, habits and methods that you and your friends share, there are ways to increase the challenge if you are brave enough to try learning new techniques. For example, you and your friends untangle formidable situations, grind through color after color and solve complicated circumstances that seemed impossible at first. Yes, you and your friends have become a well-oiled machine of serious logic bending awesomeness. You can handle anything that is thrown at you... so you add in the set of multi-colored expansion cards (that come standard with the basic game) and now you must retrain and re-tune your team as you are collectively challenged to re-invent your decisive awesomeness once more. Then try out some of the most popular rule-variants created by fans. Many of them are fantastic variations that will contain an appealing element that will shake up strategies for something fun and new. Many of these lead to amusing/hilarious outcomes or truly epic stories to tell your grandchildren someday. -- But Seriously, it is a fun game and can be very rewarding when played with the same players several times. (but is also fun regardless of who you play it with. ) A fun suggestion for learning the game or teaching it to new players (this apples to youngsters, grandparents, siblings, neighbors, friends and strangers too!): We add a stack of 6 to 8 coins (like dimes or pennies) and mutually award them to players that 'accidentally' reveal too much information while playing the game. We call them "Scoldy-tokens", and lovingly refer to them as such, when we politely explain the reason for awarding the scoldy-token and then remind everyone the format of sharing information and what is allowed to be shared each time an information-token is used. ( These are also good opportunities to insert tips, example scenarios and assumptions that might be related to the incident that resulted in the scoldy-token to be issued). While players will trigger the scoldy-tokens to be issued, the scoldy-tokens should not represent a punishment or be kept by any individual (even if someone keeps incurring the “awards”). These scoldy-tokens are communal and belong to all of the players. They are placed in the center of the table. (or next to the 3-strike invalid card-play tokens) - If all of the scoldy-tokens are used up, the game ends there (or when playing your first few games, maybe you just add more tokens to the supply and keep issuing them). We find that 6-8 scoldy-tokens is a nice allowance for new players to make inevitable mistakes and goof as they are learning to play with the others. This helps new players quickly learn how to use the information-token the right way and establishes a collectively undesirable consequence for continuing to ignore the most basic rule of the game. It also allows new players to occasionally be silly join in the fun when sharing information for comic value without having to feel like you should be playing a strict un-fun game. Then, as players in the group are able to manage not using up all of the scoldy-tokens during a game, we add the rule that subtracts the total number of scoldy-tokens (‘awarded' to the table), from the final score at the end. Eventually, your players will have picked up on ways to have fun, laugh, cry and become an amazingly efficient team, without scoldy-tokens ever being issued again. (at least until you play again after a long break. I always slip up in the first game or two). Anyway,
Review: We play a lot of games but this is a family favourite. Fun for 2 which is extremely rare, and you feel like you’re getting better at the game each time!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does the game play well with 2 players? I'm specifically looking for a good 2 player game...**
A: yes! it's definitely a good 2-player game, though I enjoy it more with 3-4. If I can make a recommendation for another one as well then check out Citadels. Citadels is great with 2-4 players as well, and though it isn't co-op I really enjoy it. Additionally, Pandemic is an excellent choice of boardgames for a 2-player game as well and is co-op.

**Q: how do you play the game? questions is not letting me know the game.**
A: You and the other players try and complete sets of colors, like Go Fish. The catch is, you can't see your cards but can see everyone else's cards. If you want to learn the rules and watch someone play a little bit, here is a link to a forum with a video: https://boardgamegeek.com/video/72516/hanabi/how-play-game-hanabi

**Q: What is the difference between the basic and premium version?**
A: The premium/deluxe version uses mah jongg tiles instead of cards.

**Q: Does the lamination on the cards flake off?  The previous version we bought flakes a lot and makes us avoid playing this game.**
A: It's my understanding that some of the runs of cards from the Target exclusive deck flaked. I have that deck and don't have that problem. I have not heard anything negative about the R&R Games version

### ⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by B***I on 24 May 2015*

La boîte est en carton et la règle uniquement en anglais! J'ai trouvé deux jours plus tard le même jeu avec une boîte métallique pour moins cher... Heureusement qu'avec internet il est possible de trouver facilement la règle en français sinon, j'aurais eu du mal à en comprendre toute la subtilité!!! Le jeu en lui-même est tout à fait conforme à mes attentes!
