Runtly: /* Game Length */ 2th -> 2nd

==Objective==
The objective is to correctly predict the number of tricks you will take in each round, in order to receive points. Highest score wins!

==Gameplay==
* Shuffle all 60 cards, include 13 dwarves, 13 elves, 13 giants, 13 humans, 4 wizards and 4 jesters.
* Deal a number of cards equal to the round number to each player. The next card turned up is trump.
* If the card is jester, there is no trump. If the card is wizard, the dealer chooses the trump. At the last round there is no trump.
* Each player, starting from the player to the left of the dealer, bids a number of tricks he is going to take.
* The player to the left of the dealer starts the first trick and leads any card. If the card led is a wizard, it must win. If it is a jester, the next card played decides the lead suit. If only jesters are played, the first jester wins.
* Players must follow suit if possible. If a player cannot follow, he may play another suit, including the trump suit. Wizards and jesters can be played at any time.
* A trick is won by the first wizard played. If there is no wizards, it is won by the highest trump. Else, it is won by the highest card of the lead suit. The winner of a trick leads the next trick.

==Scoring==
* If a player predicts correctly, he scores 20 points, plus 10 points for each trick taken.
* If a player predicts wrongly, he loses 10 points for each over or under trick.

==End of Game==
* When all the cards are dealt out in a round, that round is the last.
* That means there are 20 rounds with three players, 15 rounds with four, 12 rounds with five and 10 rounds with 6.
* At the end of the game, the player with the highest score wins.

==Variants==
===Bidding===
* Hidden prediction: Predictions are revealed simultaneously before the round is played.
* Plus/minus 1: The total number of tricks predicted by the players may not equal the number of tricks available in any round.
* Secret prediction: Predictions are not revealed until the round ends.

===Game Length===
* 5 rounds: All cards are dealt out in each round. Only 5 rounds are played.
* Amigo tournament rules: 10 rounds are played with specific number of cards. With 3 players, start with 2 and add 2 each round. With 4 players, start with 1, add 2 until the 6th round, then add 1 each round. With 5 players, start with 2, add 2 in 2nd round and 1 in other rounds.

Runtly: /* Cards */

== Cards ==

In a standard game of Hanabi, there are 5 colors of cards of rank 1 through 5. In each suit there are

-three 1s

-two 2s

-two 3s

-two 4s

-one 5

== About "cheating" ==

In the "real life Hanabi", you can talk. That's why we chose to let the chat open for the online version.

As a consequence, this is very easy to cheat at Hanabi. And as you can imagine, this is very stupid and this has no interest... except for ELO boosting. This is the reason why for this game there is no international ranking (ie: best player, second best player) and no trophies associated to it.

== ELO rating ==
If you are playing with ELO rating on, your ELO may be changed at the end of the game.

Here is how it works:

1) Every player on the team is temporarily considered as having the average ELO rating of the team.

2) The system will generate a bot associated with the score your team has achieved (let’s call it '''Hanabot'''). Hanabot’s ELO rating depends on the variant you are playing (50 cards, 60 cards, 60 cards multicolor), the number of players on the team and, most importantly, your team's score. All Hanabot’s ELO ratings have been set by an experienced player, they are not random or simply proportional to the score/number of players.

3) Your team (actually your team's average ELO) will now compete against Hanabot. The system will calculate your team’s ELO gain/loss as though your team had tied with Hanabot.
If your score is below 18 (50-card game) or below 21 (60-card game), your team is considered as losing against the weakest Hanabot for this configuration (variant and number of players).

FYI, you can find all bots' ELO ratings here:
(available soon)

The 55-card variant (50 cards + 1 of each value in the sixth color) cannot be played with ELO rating on. This is because this variant is highly dependent on draw and a team’s score may not always reflect the players’ skills.

A loss (3 Strike tokens) is the same as a score of 0.

If you achieve the perfect score and this should cost you ELO points, you will be considered as having beaten the bot associated with the score, so that you lose no ELO points.

== Object of the game ==
The players are travelers in Japan. They will follow the prestigious Tokaido and try to make this journey as rich an experience as possible.

To do this, they will pass through magnificent countryside, taste delicious culinary specialties, purchase souvenirs, benefit from the virtues of hot springs, and have unforgettable encounters.

==Playing the game==
The player whose Traveler is farthest behind on the road is the player who takes the next turn.

This player must move his Traveler forward to the open space of his choice, freely passing over one or more open spaces.

Once he has moved his Traveler, the player receives the benefit corresponding to this type of space.

'''NOTE:''' Some of the spaces on the board are doubled. Double spaces are used only in games with 4 or 5 players.

:* The first Souvenir in a set is worth 1 point.
:* The second Souvenir in a set is worth 3 points.
:* The third Souvenir in a set is worth 5 points.
:* The fourth Souvenir in a set is worth 7 points.

'''Panorama'''

: Panoramas are made of 3, 4 or 5 sections.

: When a player stops on a Panorama Station, if he doesn’t yet have any Panorama cards of this type, he takes a Panorama card of value « 1 ».

: Otherwise, he takes the next number in ascending order and scores a number of points equal to the value of the card.

: '''NOTE:''' Each traveler can create only a single panorama of each type; a traveler who completes a panorama can no longer stop on the spaces corresponding to that type (Sea, Mountain, or Paddy).

'''Inns'''

: All Travelers must stop at each Inn.

: The Inns are the places where players can buy Meal cards. Meal cards cost 1, 2 or 3 coins and all give 6 victory points.

: The first traveler occupies the space nearest the road, and later travelers form a line after him.

: When the first traveler arrives at an Inn, he draws as many Meal cards as there are players, plus 1.

: He can then purchase one Meal card of his choice by paying its price.

: He adds this card, face up, to his collection and places the remaining cards next to the board, face down.

: He then must wait for the other travelers to arrive at the Inn. Upon arrival, each traveler can purchase one of the remaining Meal cards.

: '''IMPORTANT:'''
:* A traveler cannot taste the same culinary specialty twice during his journey.
:* A traveler can never purchase more than one Meal card per Inn.
:* A traveler is never obliged to purchase a Meal card.

== End of the journey ==
When all of the Travelers have arrived in Edo at the last Inn, the game ends.

The travelers score additional points depending on their ranking as donors to the Temple:
* The most generous donor scores 10 points.
* The second scores 7 points.
* The third scores 4 points.
* All other donors score 2 points.

Award the following achievement cards to the appropriate travelers. Each achievement card is worth 3 points. If players are tied for an achievement, then they each receive the 3 points.
* Gourmet - the player with the highest total face value of Meal cards.
* Collector - the player with the most Souvenir cards.
* Bather - the player with the most Hot Spring cards.
* Chatterbox - the player with the most Encounter cards.

Note: There are 3 other achievement cards that are awarded during game play. One for each different type of panorama and each is awarded to the player that is first to complete the specific panorama.

Note: If players are tied after the final scoring, then the player with the most achievement cards wins.
