Happy Mochi

About the game

What is Happy Mochi?

Be the first to empty your hand! In Happy Mochi, all cards must be played in pairs, and you can never rearrange your hand. To play, you must follow value restrictions — unless you have two matching cards! In that case, shout "Happy Mochi!" and break all the rules! Special abilities and color-matching add an extra layer to this strategic party game, where luck and tactics go hand in hand. —description from the publisher
