Types of card games and how to play them

The “majority party” that must not become a minority

[#PartyGame] Strip down that crush!? We tried playing Majority Party! [#MajorityParty]

In this game, there’s a button that triggers both a positive and a negative effect at the same time (for example, “You can get anything under 5,000 yen for free, but you can no longer buy anything priced at 5,000 yen or more”).

Each player simultaneously answers whether they would press the button or not.

Those in the majority earn points, while those in the minority must pay points.

It’s a deep game where, rather than deciding whether you personally would press the button, you have to read which opinion will end up in the majority.

Word Basket, an arranged version of shiritori

Each card has a single hiragana character from “a” to “wa.” Players take turns saying words of three or more characters that start with the character on the table and end with a character in their hand, discarding the used hand card.

The first player to use up all their cards wins.

DREIst enthusiast

[Board Game Review] “San Mania” – A unique card game where lining up three cards makes the stack collapse

A card game called DREIst’s San Mania that almost nobody knows.

It’s a quirky card game where sets of three collapse, but the rules are clearly defined, making it very simple and fun.

The design is super cute, and lining up the cards is really enjoyable! If you’re tired of traditional card games, be sure to give it a try!

E-card

[Terrifying Card Game] The E-Card is way too insane!!!

A game that uses cards divided into three types: Citizen, King, and Slave.

It’s a psychological card game where you play cards while understanding each role.

You can also read your opponents’ expressions and predict what card they’ve played, so there’s no doubt you’ll experience tense, edge-of-your-seat mind games!

UNO

[4-Player Commentary] Behold, this is the greatest card game in history: UNO

Alongside playing cards, it’s no exaggeration to call UNO a classic! From the seven cards in your hand, you play a card that matches the color or the number of the card in the center.

If you can’t play, you must draw one card from the central deck.

When you’re down to your last card, declare “UNO,” and the first person to run out of cards wins! That’s the basic framework, but there are many house rules depending on the region, so it’s a good idea to align on the rules at the start.

It’s fun for all ages and can be played online, so you can have a blast with friends and family around the world!

UNO Get Wild

[UNO] A serious showdown with the UUUM members using new rules!

Here’s how to play the newly revamped UNO, updated for the first time in 45 years.

It comes with blank white cards that let you add your own original rules.

It’s especially recommended if you’ve played classic UNO so many times that you’re bored of it.

Since you can add different rules every time, it becomes a card game you can enjoy forever! Be sure to try the new UNO!

Ghost Blitz

[Card Game] Ghost Blitz [Akagami no Tomo]

A card game using special tools and spooky items.

Players take turns flipping one card from the deck and grab the item that exactly matches what’s shown.

If no item matches, grab the one that is different in both color and shape.

It’s first-come, first-served, and the first player to claim five cards wins.

Because it requires split-second judgment, it’s a uniquely fast-paced, hand-occupying game.
