Ogoola Karuta: Classic Chinese Poems 1-40 2021

This is the world's first KARUTA using famous classical Chinese poems! You can play like Chihayafuru using Chinese poems. This version uses 40 famous Chinese poems. There are 40 reading cards and 40 playing cards packed in a box.

The game is comprised of two decks of cards, the Reader deck and the Player deck. Cards in the Reader deck contain short poems or poetry quotations while cards in the Player deck contain only the second part of these poems. To begin the game, a Reader is chosen (or you may opt to use the Reader app) and the players are divided into two teams sitting/standing on opposite sides of the table or play area. The Reader shuffles the Reader deck and the Players mix, split evenly the Player deck between the teams and place them face-up in 3-4 rows in front of them. The Reader will read the complete poetry quotation on the reading cards and the player that finds the matching playing card first takes that card and puts it aside. If the card taken was on your opponent's side, you must give one card from your side to your opponent. The first team that has no cards left on their side is the winner (you must get rid of all your cards first, to win)
