Fifteen
Today is the 89th Monthiversary. Should have been out celebrating it at full swing but unfortunately I’ve got the remains of the virus gotten yesterday to deal with.
On the bright side, I’ve learnt how to play 2 player hana fuda cards. The 2 Player version better known as Koi Koi.
Hana Fuda - Japanese Flower Cards

Its interesting how much of the Japanese culture is infused in each of these delicately illustrated cards.
Each month is presented by a different element:
Jan – Pine
Feb – Plum Blossoms
Mar – Cherry Blossoms
Apr – Bush Clover
May – Iris
Jun – Peony
Jul – Clover
Aug – Pampas (Plains)
Sep – Chrysanthemum
Oct – Maple
Nov – Willow
Dec – Empress Tree (Paulownia)
Here’s a nifty site for you to play Hana Fuda on flash! Who knows, my friends and I could possibly be playing this at my house-warming! =p
