we would kind of like a good android hanafuda game for winding down

found one that works but there's no way to disable ads (not even a paid version) so we have to put the phone in airplane mode to play it

well, we don't have to but if we don't we get ads between every hand

@Felthry is that the game shown at hanafuda.fr/en/ ?

...we only just learned from my looking up hanafuda that 🎴 isn't the back of a playing card, it's the 20-point card in the August suit

@packbat yeah! it's a fun sort of time-waster, we got into it from its inclusion in clubhouse games

@Felthry *nods!*

the cards are pretty ... I wonder if we could draw them out in PICO-8 well enough to make a deck...

@packbat there's an interesting story behind the cards actually

playing cards were introduced to japan by european trade, and since people were using them for gambling they were outlawed, so people made decks of cards over time that looked less and less like playing cards so they could be plausibly claimed as just a collection of miniature artwork

this essentially resulted in the cards becoming a collection of miniature artwork
