Almost flawless, will be a classic on my shelves

I'd played both regular and deluxe Hanabi before so knew I needed the game; it's a fascinating exercise and I don't see myself getting bored of it. It's very different with different people and quite easy to teach, though players inevitably say it sounds simple then realise the complexity as the game goes on... I've not yet tried the expansions in it, but the bonus tokens are really simple to add in and are a lovely extra bit of variety to keep it fresh.

The deluxe version is great and we do often note our knowledge on paper in line with the cards where they're standing, so it's not too much of a memory test! The bag and clue tokens are satisfyingly good quality and hopefully the cards will hold up well - there's a better chance in holders than being manipulated so much anyway. The only quibble I have is the holders let the cards lean back quite a lot - more than is needed to view them, and it means if you stand up even a little bit to lean over the table for a clue/card/snack, it's easy to get a glance of at least the colour, so you have to be careful. But all in all, still love the game and glad to have splashed out on deluxe.

GAME OVERVIEW

Back with a bang and more dazzling than ever before, the Spiel des Jahres award-winning Hanabi Deluxe version has arrived!

Work together to create dazzling firework displays. But there’s a catch… all the powder, wicks and rockets are mixed up! Players hold their cards back to front, so nobody can see their own cards.

Find ways to pass and remember information you receive in this extraordinary challenge!

What’s in the box?

  • 70 cards
  • Five cardholders
  • Eight tokens
  • One bag
  • Nine tiles
  • One game aid

How to play:

Playing the role of scatter-brained pyrotechnicians who have inadvertently mixed-up powders, wicks and rockets for a huge firework display, players work together to make sure the show is not a complete disaster…

There are five firework displays to be created – one of each colour (white, red, blue, yellow, green) – by putting the same colour cards in ascending order (1, 2, 3, 4, 5).

Player’s cards are arranged on the cardholder in front of them back-to-front, so the other players can see them, but they cannot see them themselves.

A turn consists of three potential phases:

  • Give information – the player must take a clue token, so they can provide information to another player about the cards in front of them. Players can only give two kinds of information: colour and value of the cards.
  • Discard a card – by completing this action, a clue token is placed on the bag and the player gets rid of a card. A new card is then taken to replace it.
  • Play a card – the player takes a card and puts it in front of them. This card either begins or completes a firework display OR the card doesn’t do anything, triggering the turnover of an error tile.

The game ends if all three error tiles are turned over, or if all five firework displays have been created!

Bonus!

In this deluxe version of Hanabi, included are the three add-ons: Colour Avalanche, Black Powder and 5 Flamboyants – all extending the gameplay and the challenge even further! 

 2-5 PLAYERS  |  25 MINS  |  AGES 8+
