TAP A CARD TO FLIP

THE RUN

About 100 seconds, one thumb, no connection needed. The sea is drawn in flat hanafuda colors with thick ink outlines, and no two runs ride the same waves.

01

CATCH THE CREST

Build speed and a crest launches you. JUMP OK! lights when the next one will.

02

SPIN INTO FLIPS

Hold left for a backflip, right for a frontflip. Chain doubles, triples and switch flips.

03

LAND IT CLEAN

Land clean and the points are yours. Come down wrong and it is a wipeout.

OPEN A PACK

A full pack meter is five cards in a foil pouch. In the game you tilt it, shake it and tear it with your finger. Here, a tap will do.

48 CARDS · 12 MONTHS

Hanafuda's flower cards are twelve months of four, from humble Plains up to five rare Brights. Complete the eight traditional sets, earn each month's hanko seal, and fill a linen hardcover book with clear sleeves and a silk bookmark.

14 RIDERS

The Moon Rabbit and Tanuki ride from the start. Twelve more follow the months, from January's Crane to December's Phoenix. Pick one and it takes the wave up top.

Riders change who you surf as, never the score. One optional purchase unlocks all 14 and removes ads.

RIDE TOGETHER

HEAD-TO-HEAD

Race head to head against other riders online.

ROOMS

Ride with friends, here or anywhere. Up to eight riders on one sea, with a code or with phones in the same room.

LEAGUE

Race riders at your level and climb from Bronze to Master. Medals stay on your card.

THE DAILY

One sea a day, the same for everyone, with an Easy, a Medium and a Hard challenge. Clear all three in one run and the Daily pack is yours. A longer streak raises its odds.

THE WORLDWIDE BOARD

Compose a profile card from the cards you collect. It stands beside your name on one board everyone shares. Beat your best and watch your nameplate climb.
