Go-Stop Game

Go Stop is a Korean fishing game which uses a Korean deck of flower cards. These cards, originally invented in Japan, have depictions of various flowers which correspond to a certain month. This style of deck was invented in Japan as a response to the outlawing of traditional 4-suited decks. Currently, flower card games are more popular in Southern Korea.

Materials you needed to play

• Go-Stop Cards — Usually available in Korean stores, but you can also purchase them online.
• Poker Chips — As with any card game, Go-Stop is more enjoyable when there is a reward!

I will try my best to provide a simpler version of Go-Stop to help get you started.

Learning About the Cards

This card game does not use traditional cards such as the 52-card deck commonly used in poker games. You will have to use Go-Stop Cards or Hwatu Cards. Since this card game is quite popular in Korea, it is easy to buy one in convenience stores and even online. To make the game more enjoyable and rewarding, it is best to also have poker chips, particularly if you want to place bets.

Hwatu is much smaller but thicker than a regular 52-card deck, making it challenging to shuffle. Most newbies would shuffle the card by spreading the cards onto the table and just mixing them. 토토  The objective of the game is to find the match of the cards with their corresponding sets.

There are four cards that represent each month of the year with an accompanying flower.. The basic objective of the game is to match cards with their respective sets (example: match cards from January with another card from January). Don’t worry, there’s no need to memorize what month/flower a particular card belongs to. Instead, you can think of it as matching cards with a similar theme and design. For example, match the cards with maple leaves with other cards that have maple leaves.

The 4 sub-categories cards :

• Bright — The cards with a Chinese character meaning “bright” written on a red circle.
• Animal — Cards that typically have animals on them. The other animal cards are distinguished by having something different than their junk counterparts.
• Ribbon — Cards that are identified with either a blue or red ribbon
• Junk — The most common cards in the deck. They are the plain versions in each set of cards.

Identifying the cards is simple to learn and is an important part to scoring the points at the end of the game.

Setting Up the Game

Before dealing out the cards, you’ll need to select a dealer. The dealer is responsible for shuffling the cards, handing out the cards, and playing the first hand. You can play a simple game of rock-paper-scissors to decide who becomes the dealer. Then, the winner of each game afterwards will become the dealer.

The player takes the cut portion of the deck and places it face down in the center of the table. Then, the dealer proceeds to hand out the cards. If the dealer runs out of cards to deal, then the deck on the table will be used to continue the deal. Any remaining cards will be placed back on the center of the table.

The way the cards are handed out is different depending on the number players. I’ll include how the cards are supposed to be handed out, but as long as the number of cards is the same it is okay to ignore the specifics. As a side note, the game is usually played with 3 players, so the rules of dealing out the cards for 4 players and up are what I follow. Any cards left after dealing are added to the deck in the center of the table.

• 2 Players — Each player gets 10 cards and 8 cards are face up on the table. (5 to each player and then 4 to the table. Repeat Once.).
• 3 Players — Each player gets 7 cards and 6 cards are face up on the table. (4 to each player, 3 to the table, 3 to each player, and then 3 to the table.).
• 4 Players — Each player gets 6 cards and 4 cards are face up on the table. (3 to each player and then 2 to the table. Repeat Once.).
• 5 Players — Each player gets 5 cards and 3 cards are face up on the table. (3 to each player, 2 to the table, 2 to each player, and then 1 to the table.).
