If I were to try to make a fireworks display in real life, I’d probably set a house on fire or at the very least, singe my eyebrows off permanently. “Hanabi” is all about making a fireworks display cooperatively with other players though the kicker is, you can’t look at your own cards. This poses a problem, as cards must be played in numeric order by suit. Personally I think “Hanabi” is an excellent team-building game that requires both memorization and critical thinking skills. While some might consider open discussion against the rules, it can actually promote some good communication/team-building skills as well.
Due to medical issues and time, I’ll simply opt to leave my first impressions gameplay video below. I can easily recommend it though as it’s both cheap and has a lot of replay value. Search the Amazon sidebar for the game so that if you do buy it, I’ll get a small commission at no cost to you.
Final Verdict: 8/10
