Kachiban

Play a card. Place a chip. Make 5 in a row.

A card-and-chip board game for your phone. Every match deals a new board, so everyone starts out even.

How to play Coming soon to Google Play

The Kachiban card, number 003 of 040: the mascot, a crowned chip, stands in its window with hands on hips.

How to play

Three moves, one goal. A match takes a few minutes.

  1. Play a card. On your turn, pick a card from your hand.
  2. Place your chip. Every card except the Aces has two spaces on the board. You choose which one.
  3. Make 5 in a row. Five in a line, your chips or a corner, make a Kachi. Make as many as the match calls for and you win.

Cards that turn the game around

  • Red Ace Puts your chip on any free space.
  • Black Ace Removes one of your opponent's chips.
  • The four corners Count for everyone.
  • No free space If a card has no free space left, swap it for another one.
