About Haiku
Every round, each player secretly pick one of the six ukiyo-e painting cards on display. Using 3 of their 8 double-sided haiku phrase tiles, players create a haiku verse to guide their teammates to the correct illustration. If the players manage to identify the correct card, they are one step closer to victory. Otherwise they are one step closer to defeat. The number of successes or failures required to trigger the end of the game is dependent on player count.
