Karuta - A Japanese Card Game

Ойын-сауық

In karuta, one player reads the writing on a card, and the others try to be first to spot the card with the picture that matches. This game has long been enjoyed by families and friends, but it gained a new face with the recent popularity of competitive karuta. Competition cards feature 100 famous poems from an ancient collection called Hyakunin Isshu. It’s a contest of speed as well as memory, and we’ll watch a national champion spot her card in just 0.2s. The old poems also provide an introduction to Japanese culture, another attraction for the growing number of players who are now taking up this game around the world.

    This game would be an excellent way to help learn Japanese. The hearing and the memorization would be a great help in the listening department. It trains you to recognize and learn the words being said quickly and fluently, it really needs to be played more in Japanese learning courses.

    Hitting it with pinpoint accuracy in a short time is hard

    Because you only need to directly touch the card, or push the card out of the area. You can often get their faster by hitting multiple cards, rather than trying for pinpoint accuracy. Though being accurate is a good idea.

    I am only here because Babymetal released a deck of these and I didn't know what it was. Seems interesting but I can't read Japanese so I won't be nerding out on it.
