In karuta, one player reads the writing on a card, and the others try to be first to spot the card with the picture that matches. This game has long been enjoyed by families and friends, but it gained a new face with the recent popularity of competitive karuta. Competition cards feature 100 famous poems from an ancient collection called Hyakunin Isshu. It’s a contest of speed as well as memory, and we’ll watch a national champion spot her card in just 0.2s. The old poems also provide an introduction to Japanese culture, another attraction for the growing number of players who are now taking up this game around the world.

If you are wishing to play this, think again. You might end up in a tragedy like Taichi because not everyone is as good as Arata.
Conan brought me here
Chihayafuru
I like the idea but the splattering of cards is lame. Just get your hand on the card first.
For now, I think I'll stick to 花札 and 将棋
