Description

Oicho-Kabu is a card game that is common in Japan and is taken as a traditional gambling tool over there. Players compete against the banker, trying to reach as close as possible to the digit 9 without exceeding it. It is quite similar to the Western games of Baccarat and (to a lesser degree) Blackjack. Oicho-Kabu is typically played with Kabufuda cards, which contains 40 cards, with 4 copies of each of the numbers 1 through 10. Because Kabufuda cards are relatively uncommon even in Japan, they are often substituted with a reduced deck of Hanafuda cards or (less commonly) standard Western playing cards.
