Pack your bento box, grab your picnic blanket, and find the perfect spot under the treetops. The sakura blossoms are in full bloom and people from all over are gathering in parks for Hanami — or "flower viewing" — a centuries-old Japanese springtime tradition. But competition for the best spots can be fierce! You'll need to strategically place your group near the food, flowers, and festivities of the day. Get the best spot, enjoy the most activities, and win Hanami!

Upgrade your adventure to first class with the Deluxe Edition featuring bigger wood tokens, an expanded game board, and a box organizer to make setup and clean up a breeze.

Gameplay Overview
Hanami is a beautifully serene area-majority game from Japanese designer Saashi, set during Japan's beloved cherry blossom viewing season. Players take turns placing their picnickers on a shared park board, jockeying for position near the most desirable spots — food stalls, flower viewings, and festive activities — while trying to outnumber rivals in the sections that matter most for scoring. The game is light enough to teach in minutes but carries surprising strategic depth in reading where to place and when to press your advantage. Keymaster Games' Deluxe Edition elevates the already gorgeous experience with oversized wooden tokens, a larger game board that breathes even more life into the park setting, and a box organizer that makes setup and teardown a genuine pleasure. A wonderful gateway game and a natural gift for anyone who appreciates thoughtful design and Japanese aesthetics.
