PetitDaiFugo Lite

I enjoy this version of the game as it uses all the rules I played with before. Graphics are rather primitive but I'm just happy to see an English version. Nice work. Google "daifugo" for more information and for rules on how to play. Daifugo means "richest", fugo is "rich", hinmin is "poorest", and daihinmin is "poorest". The object of the game is to get rid of your cards before anyone else, thereby granting you the title of "daifugo" (or "emperor" in this version). Card Values: The lowest value card is 3 and the highest value is 2 with joker as a wild card. Succession of value: 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, J, Q, K, A, 2 8 is a very powerful card because if you play an 8 you automatically win the round. Basics: In the first game everyone starts out as a "commoner" (heimin). The commoner with the blue hexagon starts and it is played clockwise. You can start with any card, but then the next person must play a card that is of higher value. So if I play a 3 then the next person must play 4 or higher. To play a card you must select it then hit "put". If you do not have any cards to play or do not want to play any cards then just hit "path" (I think they meant to use the word "pass" instead). The round continues until no one can make any more plays. Whoever played the highest value card is then able to begin the next round with the card(s) of their choice. If you begin a round AND have two or three-of-a-kind you can play that two or three of a kind at the beginning of a round. If a two or three-of-a-kind is played then all following plays must also equal a two or three-of-a-kind. (ie. If a pair of 3s are played then a pair of 4s or higher must also be played.) You cannot throw in a two or three-of-a-kind in the middle of a round - the round must begin that way. If someone plays four-of-a-kind then it is called "revolution" (kakumei) and all of the cards values become the opposite with joker still wild. (ie. 3 becomes the highest value card and 2 the lowest.) If someone begins the round with a suit and the second player plays the same suit then that suit must be played for the rest of the round. (This is one of the alternative rules and I can't remember if this version uses it.) Important: You cannot end a round with 2 and I believe joker. Whoever gets rid of their cards first is the "emperor", second is the "king", third is the "knight", and fourth is "poor". This is an important distinction for the following games. Before the next game begins the top rank will trade two cards with the lowest rank and the the middle ranks will trade one card between each other. The "emperor" can trade any two cards with the "poor" but the "poor" must trade their two highest cards to the "emperor". The "king" can trade any one card to the "knight" but the "knight" must trade their one highest card to the "king". And this is how the game is played. Please google it for more information, but I hope my explanation helps. I apologize for anything I've missed. There are also many variations on the game so I hope I've included all the main points for this version.

Make it in Englsh!Make sure you don't charge $ for the game.

They did a great job putting it on the iPod. It's a shame that the stars are low cuz it has Japanese. The game originated in Japan. Get over it.
