Dual Hanafuda/Trump Cards by Daiso Japan

In Japan, 'Western' style playing cards are called 'Trump' cards.  Here we have a deck of cards that look like the normal Anglo-French-American* cards but you can also play games like Koi-Koi and Hana Awase with them too! Genius!

 

*The Pips and Suits are French, The Court cards and embellished Ace of Spades are English, whilst the American's introduced the Jokers.

 

The cards have the look and feel of Western playing cards but the cards are not printed on anything like Bicycle/USPCC card stock.  No air-cushion finish here. Just old fashioned plastic coated cards!

 

 

 

Disney Hanafuda

 

I bought a deck of these whilst in Japan.  I'm not a huge fan of Disney but I liked the look of these as (unlike other manga or anime themed Hanafuda) I actually knew the characters.  The cards themselves are made of cheap card (disappointing), so I don't think they would last much past a few serious sessions of Koi-Koi! Due to this, I'm just going to keep them as a collectors item. At the time of purchase these cost me the equivalent of £10.
