Who here has played Hanabi? I am happy to moderate a game if there is interest.

Read a review here.

Meh, I would never actually buy something like this. It's just a bunch of cards with numbers on it.

Unless the price range is same as a regular card deck, which is like 0.5$.

Won't this fail without the memory requiremt s?

No. The game tests logic a lot more than memory, since most of the time if you're told something you often need to act on it soon anyway.

I've never played before, but if you could post the rules somewhere I'd be in. This game looks neat, and I like logic puzzles.

I really want to play it IRL. But I'm not sure if this really works as Forum Game. You can use pen and paper and re-read all. Yeah, it would still work, but I don't think it's that much fun. But we could try it. I would be in.

Hi,

I have played once. (Wei Hwa amused himself by playing with two newbies, and we newbies had different ideas about how to proceed.)
I would be interested in playing again.

I think there is probably an interesting algorithm/protocol design problem in analyzing the game, too.

Grujah · « **Reply #8 on:** October 19, 2012, 08:52:33 pm »

Oh, you'd moderate it? I wonder how that would go.. I guess a QT for everybody. I could give it a try.

theory · « **Reply #9 on:** October 20, 2012, 12:12:25 pm »

No need for something like that. We would do something like this:

(Featuring mith himself!)

Here are the rules: http://files.boardgamegeek.com/file/download/6r4wxf3udw/Hanabi_English_Translation.pdf?

If we do play, I would want a 4p game.

Grujah · « **Reply #10 on:** October 20, 2012, 02:10:17 pm »

Well, I mean QT for each player, IMO that's a way better way to convey "card hands" there than for me to have to search inbox every time (Axxle has done this for Cosmic).

Seems interesting, I'd be /in.

shraeye · « **Reply #11 on:** October 20, 2012, 02:16:17 pm »

cool cool, I am interested. Sure, why not. sign this sucker up. (Also, this is a Forum Game, so there is Robz to remember)

Qvist · « **Reply #12 on:** October 20, 2012, 03:19:22 pm »

I'm in too.

jeb56 · « **Reply #13 on:** October 20, 2012, 03:44:29 pm »

And I'm in (I hope).

theory · « **Reply #14 on:** October 21, 2012, 09:19:19 am »

Should I just start, with Grujah/shraeye/Qvist/jeb56? Does the Robz rule apply only to Mafia games?

theory · « **Reply #15 on:** October 21, 2012, 05:03:29 pm »

Preparing the game now, with Grujah/shraeye/Qvist/jeb56. Good luck, drunk fireworks operators.

shraeye · « **Reply #16 on:** October 21, 2012, 06:13:50 pm »

oooh! I get to be drunk while playing? I like this game.

Insomniac · « **Reply #17 on:** October 21, 2012, 08:34:15 pm »

Damn I missed this ill have to watch and read the rules and get in for the next one... I was Hopi h theory would put a disclaimer at the end of the rules saying he is a moderator of f.DS

Voltgloss · « **Reply #18 on:** October 21, 2012, 08:37:45 pm »

I'd be interested to join the next one of this.

SwitchedFromStarcraft · « **Reply #19 on:** October 22, 2012, 07:05:45 am »

Theory, isn't this a lot of work to mod?

theory · « **Reply #20 on:** October 22, 2012, 07:56:35 am »

More than I thought, but the spreadsheet helps.

Kuildeous · « **Reply #21 on:** October 23, 2012, 08:37:26 am »

Well, reading Hanabi I isn't overly exciting by itself, but the idea of game play does look interesting. If there's a Hanabi II, I think I'd sign up for that.

shraeye · « **Reply #22 on:** October 23, 2012, 11:23:56 pm »

Hey theory, could you send me the translation of the rules, I'm having a hard time downloading that pdf for some reason. Is this a safe thread to put an email down in? Contact by PM?

theory · « **Reply #23 on:** October 24, 2012, 01:00:16 pm »

Try this link instead: http://cocktailgames.com/upload/produit/hanabi/regles/regle_en_hanabi.pdf

If you are at all interested in playing, I highly recommend PMing me for a link to the overall game state. Watching the game is not that interesting unless you can see the whole game state (like I can). Then it's fascinating.

(By way of comparison, when this is played IRL, onlookers can see everyone's cards.)

shraeye · « **Reply #24 on:** October 24, 2012, 01:09:06 pm »

You could probably instead make a QT where you can post the gamestate just once, so you don't have to PM multiple onlookers. Maybe this would make it easier, maybe not.
