The game - draw cards, make haikus with cards in hand, preform them for the group, and have fun! To start the game each player draws three 5 syllable cards and two 7 syllable cards. One player will read to the group a "Performance Card". The Performance Card will give all players a note on how they should perform their Haiku for the rest of the group. Based on this Performance Card, players will use their cards to create a 5,7,5 Haiku. Players may use either side of the 5 and 7 cards to create their poem. The player who initially read the Performance card will select their favorite based on both the haiku itself and/or the performance. Each deck comes with 550 Cards! The deck is comprised of 100 performance prompt cards and 450 double sided haiku cards.
