Great White and Go Fish Hawaii
Playing Cards$9.99 each
Classic games get an island twist with these fun cards! Go Fish Hawaii is good old fashioned go fish with pictures of Hawaiian fish, along with their Hawaiian, English, and Latin names. Have fun asking if anyone has a "humuhumunukunukuapua'a!" Great White takes a bite out of Old Maid—it has pictures and info about all kinds of sharks. But don't get stuck with the great white! Both of these unique games are fun for the whole family.
- Hanapua Cards
$9.99
Hanapua cards are the Hawaiian version of the old Japanese card game, Sakura. The game is played in the same way, but instead of Japanese plants and animals, Hanapua cards have Hawaiian plants and animals such as whales, i'iwi, plumeria, and taro. A great version of a classic game already popular here in the islands.
- Look Remember Play
$24.95
This locally developed Hawaiian memory game includes 120 beautiful and durable laminated cardboard cards with colorful and interesting images related to Hawaii. This game can be played like the classic "Memory" game, or in different creative ways that teach the players about Hawaii. Look Remember Play comes with a booklet that includes instructions in both English and Japanese, as well as descriptions of most of the images on the cards. Have fun while learning about Hawaii and improving your memory!
