Finbenkisto: /* Go-Stop (Hanafuda) - Quick Rules */ "chaff" instead of "junk". Chaff is used in the game and elsewhere

== Go-Stop (Hanafuda) - Quick Rules ==

=== Overview ===
* '''Players:''' Ideally 3 players (2-player variants exist).
* '''Deck:''' Hanafuda deck (48 cards, 12 suits/months).
* '''Objective:''' Be the first to reach a minimum point threshold (usually 3 points) and decide whether to continue ("Go") or end the round ("Stop").

=== Gameplay ===
On your turn, perform the following steps:
# '''Play from Hand:''' Match a card from your hand with a card of the same suit (month) on the table. If no match exists, discard it face up.
# '''Draw from Deck:''' Flip the top card of the draw pile. If it matches a card on the table, you take both.
# '''Collect:''' Any matches made are placed face up in your scoring area, categorized by type.

=== Card Types & Scoring ===
* '''Brights (Gwang - 5 cards):''' 3 cards = 3 pts (if "Rain-Bright" is included: 2 pts), 4 cards = 4 pts, all 5 cards = 15 pts.
* '''Animals (Yul - 9 cards):''' 5 cards = 1 pt, each additional = +1 pt.
** '''Special (Godori):''' The 3 specific bird cards (Jan, Feb, Aug) together = '''5 pts'''.
* '''Ribbons (Ti - 10 cards):''' 5 ribbons = 1 pt, each additional = +1 pt.
** '''Red Ribbons (Hong-dan):''' 3 red ribbons with writing (Jan, Feb, Mar) = '''3 pts'''.
** '''Blue Ribbons (Cheong-dan):''' 3 blue ribbons (Jun, Sep, Oct) = '''3 pts'''.
** '''Grass Ribbons (Cho-dan):''' 3 red ribbons without writing (Apr, May, Jul) = '''3 pts'''.
* '''Chaff (Pi - 24+ cards):''' 10 cards = 1 pt, each additional = +1 pt. (Double-Pi count as 2 cards).

=== Go or Stop? ===
When you reach at least 3 points (7 points in 2-player games), you must announce:
* '''Stop:''' The round ends immediately, and you win your score.
* '''Go:''' Play continues. You gain bonuses (+1 pt for "1-Go" and "2-Go", score doubling starting at "3-Go"). If you call "Go" and an opponent scores before you "Stop," you lose everything ("Go-bak").

=== Strategic Special Rules ===
* '''Puck (Bomb):''' If you hold 3 cards of a suit in hand and the 4th is on the table, you can "bomb" the suit and take all four. You draw two cards from the deck afterwards.
* '''Kiss (Chok):''' If the card you play from hand and the card you draw from the deck both match the same card on the table, you take all three.
