About this game

You can see everyone's cards except your own — communicate through limited clues to collaboratively play fireworks in the correct order. Hanabi is a cooperative puzzle that's both minimalist and profoundly demanding, producing a unique kind of tension where thinking too hard can make things worse. Genius in a small box.
