Some tips for Koi Koi which I figured out grinding that 100k tickets for the golden bowling ball:
As you can see almost every of those 12 colour pairs has two trash cards which only count for kasu or season, a good card which counts for ribbons or animals and an excellent card which counts for 5 lights or Boar-Deer-Butterfly.
If the excellent card from a month is taken you can play the other 3 cards in the month away without much danger. If the excellent card is in your opponents hand/still in the deck you want to keep cards of that month preferably.
The best card in the game to try and capture is usually the sake cup. It is that red thing next to the spikey yellow flowers. It has two hands which win the game very easily, and a third one which wins the game with high points.
The next best cards are the moon and the pink flowers. Those make the winning hands with the sake cup, and are Lights themselves making them excellent for high points game winning hands.
After that the next best cards are the Crane and the Phoenix - and lastly the rain man as the last light. The rain man is slightly worse than the other brights not used in the sake cup, as hands with him need a bigger number to win.
Boar - Deer - Butterfly is a bit worse than lights, since it has a harder time getting to 7 points. Still good cards to collect.
Treat trash in the same set as the winning season currently the same as Boar - Deer - Butterfly.
If you are not collecting the above high value cards you want to collect Ribbons over Animals over Kasu. If you get all three poetry scrolls (the red ones with the black letters) or all blue scrolls they are worth a lot of points aswell.
Generally the trick to winning 100.000 points is playing on expert with a wager of 200 tickets per winning point. Then you play with the rule where wins with 7+ points get counted twice.
Now whenever you form a hand, and you do not see an opportunity for your opponent to form a hand on his next turn, and you have less than 7 points you play Koi. Try to win with 7+ points, as something like 10 points x2 sets you up with 20x200=4000 chips. That saves you 400.000 yen and a lot of dumb clicking. If your risky strategy backfires and you get koi koid for a fuckton of points just quit the game via controller middle button. Up until the scoreboard at the end you do not actually win or lose tickets.
If we have any Hanafuda masters here who know how to do it even faster feel free to correct me.
