YaGoBuGi is a game of communication and negotiation in which players can only communicate by saying words they can form with the cards in their hand.

The cards all say Ya, Go, Bu, or Gi, and can be rearranged and combined however you like. If you find yourself saying the same ‘word’ as another player, you both play those cards to the table and score, taking a token based on the length of your word.

Your personality will come into play – are you the kind of person who will match any little word with anyone, or are you willing to wait and find a longer match for big points?
