Product Information

Ohanami is a card drafting and set collecting game. Over three rounds, players will hope to be the most masterful gardener by drafting and scoring sets of elements by skillfully adding these to their three gardens. Your chilled out and relaxed journey will include: Eating Japanese food, Relaxing in Onsen, Painting the landscape, collecting souvenirs, and becoming one with Japanese culture. This game probably isn’t my favorite Benndorf, but it has been growing on me lately, and might be in the top 5 now. I like the simplicity of the rules and the surprisingly tough decisions that you have to make in a short playtime. Lydia: I hadn’t heard! Well, have you heard from Kay recently? Apparently she saw a creature in the lagoon last Saturday.

This is a step by step guide for how to play Ohanami the beautiful card drafting and set collection board game. Additional notions and special rules can be found below the list. These will be referenced for your convenience. Perhaps this is because the Japanese board game scene isnt that large, at least by European standards, or maybe it’s because the cult following of Japan themed products has grown exponentially over the last decade. Players repeat this drafting, passing, and playing process until they have played ten cards. The first round ends, and players now receive 3 points for each blue card in their rows. Ohanami is published by Pandasaurus Games and designed by Steffen Benndorf. Art by Christian Opperer, it is designed for 2-4 players and plays in 20 mins.

No list of Japanese board games would be complete without at least one of them being about giant pandas, so here we go! In round two, both your blue water cards, and your green plant cards will score. Blue will again earn you 3 points apiece. Green will be worth 4 points each. Note: you are scoring for all the blue and all the green in your gardens, not just the cards you added during this round. Small box card games make up about 25% of my board game collection — and that jumps to just over 40% if you count strictly card-based games in bigger boxes with a few components like cardboard tokens or a board (games like 7 Wonders and Lost Cities, for instance). I knew I liked little card games quite a lot, but even these numbers surprised me. Who are we? Clearly, we are gardeners, assigned the task of creating three Zen gardens. The pieces we choose for these gardens must both fit (numerically) and add up to a pleasing whole.Guide a Villager from your Hero’s space to an adjacent space or from an adjacent space to your space. In Horrified, you and up to four other players each take on the role of a Hero in the hopes of cooperatively ridding your village of these horrendous Monsters for good — and creating a safe space for Ben and Lydia to go about their daily gossip routine. To begin a game of Ohanami, each player is dealt a hand of ten cards. A two-player game of Ohanami ready to be played. In the end, the format remains vastly similar to the original American version of the game and the player with the most money at the end of the game is victorious. Jinsei (人生 – Human life) game is the Japanese version of the North American classic ‘Game of life’.

To build a garden, paying close attention to the numbers on the cards is important. To play a card into a garden, that card must have a number higher than the highest number in the garden or lower than the lowest number in the garden. If it falls in between these two numbers it cannot be played into that garden, but it can create a different garden. Hanami (or ‘flower viewing’) is the traditional Japanese “custom of enjoying the transient beauty of flowers” (‘hana’). In most cases the flowers refer to those of the cherry blossom (‘sakura’). This custom involves more than simply looking at the flowers; hanami is celebrated by having an outdoor party beneath the blossoming trees, marking the beginning of spring. Because hanami is so important, an ‘o’ is often added before ‘hanami’ as a sign of politeness and respect . Games are only 20 minutes and games are plenty fun and not in a way that limits playing it over and over again. These things alone is going to give you a satisfying level of replayability. For how much gameplay there is to enjoy with the low price tag of Ohanami, there is no way you are going to be dissatisfied with the number of plays you get out of this box, but it probably will not make it into heavy rotation. Player Interaction ( 7 out of 10)Any time I get to dedicate a large portion of my time to researching Japan themed things and call it work, is a flipping great time.

Everything in your Zen garden needs to be perfect so the trees can grow to their full beauty So its time for you to start to arrange your water, stones, vegetation and other trees in such a way that you obtain the best balance. Today we will look at a game that allows you to do just that in Ohanami! This keeps the relatively in depth game constantly moving and keeps each player interested right from the outset.
