Hanabi

Send beautiful fireworks into the sky with Hanabi, the critically acclaimed card game that turns traditional mechanics on their head. In this unique cooperative experience, all players at the table share a single goal: to set off a magnificent firework display by playing cards in the correct numerical order across five different colours. It sounds simple enough, but there is a major twist that makes Hanabi a truly unforgettable challenge: you are the only person who cannot see your own hand of cards.

Throughout the game, you must hold your cards facing away from you, so only your fellow pyrotechnicians can see what you have. On your turn, you must decide whether to play a card, discard one to regain valuable hint tokens, or spend a token to give a teammate a vital clue. Hints are limited to telling someone about a specific colour or a specific number in their hand. Success relies on deduction, memory, and a high level of trust between players as you attempt to piece together the information needed to play the right card at the right time.

Hanabi is a masterclass in communication and collective strategy. Because information is a limited resource, every hint must be used efficiently to avoid a disastrous misfire. Will your team coordinate perfectly to put on a show that will be remembered for years to come, or will the display fizzle out in a cloud of smoke? Compact, portable, and deeply rewarding, Hanabi is an essential addition to any gaming collection and a perfect choice for those who enjoy social puzzles.
