Haiku*

Haiku is a cooperative party game for two to five players where you guide your team to the right picture using tiny poems.

What's it about?

Each round you secretly pick one of six ukiyo-e cards on display. From your haiku tiles you then build a short verse that steers your teammates toward the matching picture.

How it plays

Using three of your eight double-sided tiles, you form your lines. Then the others guess.

  1. Secretly choose a picture card.
  2. Lay a haiku verse from three tiles.
  3. The team guesses which picture you mean.

If the team is right, you move toward victory. If it is wrong, defeat creeps closer.

Highlights

  • Atmospheric ukiyo-e artwork
  • Simple rules, explained fast
  • Shared puzzling with no loser at the table

Who is it for?

This game fits families and social groups who enjoy creative word puzzles. It plays best with four or five players.

Conclusion

A calm, pretty co-op game for word lovers. If you crave hard tactics, look elsewhere.
