Hanami Deluxe Edition- Samurai Reimagined by Reiner Knizia, Kickstarter English Version

Description

This is a Kickstarter edition that will be released in June 2026.

Pack your bento box, grab your picnic blanket, and find the perfect spot under the treetops. The sakura blossoms are in full bloom and people from all over are gathered in the park for Hanami (or “flower viewing”) a centuries-old Japanese springtime tradition.

In Hanami , you'll be picnicking in parks all across Japan and Tokyo city in the springtime, fighting the crowds to celebrate the floral spectacle. Players will place their tiles out to reserve spots near the various activities found there.

Each tile represents a picnic blanket set by a member of your group to claim a spot in the park. Tiles indicate the strength of your group (the number of pips on the tile) and the group's favored activity (viewing cherry blossoms, eating onigiri, or an evening under the lanterns). You'll collect Activity Tokens once they're surrounded by Player Tiles if your tiles have a higher strength than any other player's. Earn Victory Tokens at the end of the game for each activity by having the highest number of tiles corresponding to the Activity Token. Earn the most Victory Tokens to win Hanami!

Hanami is a new reimagining of the classic game Samurai , designed by Dr. Reiner Knizia. This updated game tells a news story: One of those relaxing picnic lunches among the cherry blossoms and paper lanterns of Tokyo city parks or Japan's lucky countryside. It brings new strategies and two distinct ways to play: The Japan map allows players to enjoy the classic Samurai rules, and the Tokyo setting provides new challenges, new skills, and new tiles.

This Deluxe Edition includes the Hanami Mini Expansion, 4 Bento Bags, and Upgraded Wooden Pieces.
