Kabufuda
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kabufuda (株札, "nine-cards") are Japanese playing cards used for gambling games such as Oicho-Kabu and Tehonbiki.
Kabufuda cards, like the related hanafuda ("flower cards") are smaller and stiffer than Western playing cards. A deck contains 40 cards, with designs representing the numbers 1 through 10. There are four cards for each number.
The object of most kabufuda games is to get a total closest to nine. In Tehonbiki, the player tries to guess which number from 1 to 5 the dealer has selected.[1]
