We have the game now already in various constellations played by 2-4 players (only pure adult groups) and there were always all very impressed by the unusual, in short, simply ingenious game idea. But even that is a key point at Hanabi: extremely important to find the right people for this game. In addition, the group should agree on how to give a lot of communication and advice is allowed, otherwise it does not make all equally fun. We prefer to play so that really only allowed hints are given. But how much do you allow that, each is left to itself - that says the Instructions clearly! In this respect, I can not understand, is where claims reviews in the game no communication is permitted! That's right, so just do not!
Now for the fun:
Hanabi is more of a thinking game in which logically combining and concentration are required, as a fun game for a sociable round games. But even if it is not a fun game in the sense that we thereby laughs a lot, so it's - if you're getting into it - definitely a very exciting and entertaining game. We have a giant fun with it and be happy if we conjure always better fireworks on the sky. And you really increases with every lap ... And by the way you train memory and concentration. I think Hanabi, incidentally, also educationally very valuable!
For me, Hanabi is a worthy "Game of the Year" and real time is a refreshing change to the gaming market. I can understand as well that there is not any. Does it also not. Therefore: before just a bit reproductions! If one reads the negative reviews here, but you get the feeling that many have not even understood the game and are therefore not good. Since the game can not help it ... then stop because the guide is really more than reasonable written, and no questions remain unanswered.
