カードゲーム　ミスターエフの張出横綱 (Card game Mr. F's Haridashi Yokozuna)

カードゲーム　ミスターエフの張出横綱 (Card game Mr. F's Haridashi Yokozuna) is a print'n'play card game from Japan, in which Mr. F engages in a sumo wrestling tournament.

Mr F. is a strange character wearing a white body stocking, and has an enormous head, created by the m:Design team and features on products and Line stickers.

In this 2 player game, distributed free online, players compete in a sumo bout by playing cards and resolving dice rolls. The cards feature the signature moves in a sumo bout (tachiai, early stage, middle stage, and dohyo edge). These have lines in colours (blue, pink, yellow) which branch off and join at the edge of the card.

The idea is that players choose cards to play which connect and form the flow of the bout. If players choose the same card, then the dice decide who wins and the loser turns their card down. If the players choose different cards, they follow the card instructions and use the dice to determine the outcome.

The opening move in sumo is a Tachai, when the players lunge forward, so gaining the advantage lets the player play more complex cards to grapple. The goal is to move the opponent to the edge and win by playing a move to get them out of the ring. By having cards with branches, the player can keep their options open and maintain an attack when blocked.

The gameplay is quite technical, and needs a good command of Japanese and an understanding of sumo. The game is designed to play quickly, closely resembling a real sumo bout. user summary
