Hwatu Hangout 🎴

Learn & Play Go-Stop, a Korean Card Game

Sat, Mar 28 · 1:00 PM EDT

The Board Room VA, 925 N Garfield St, Arlington, VA, US

🌸 This month, we will have a joint hangout with the DMV Korean Language & Culture Meetup Group! 🌸
If there is a waitlist, feel free to sign up for the crosslisted event.

FOR BEGINNERS
If you've ever seen Korean movies or K-dramas, you may have seen characters play with small red cards decorated with flowers and animals. Those cards are called "hwatu" or flower cards. The most popular game played with hwatu is "Go-Stop".
Come to this next Hwatu Hangout (Cherry Blossom Edition!), and learn how to play Go-Stop. It can take some time to orient yourself with the cards and rules, but once you do, there's no turning back. It's major fun.

FOR EXPERIENCED PLAYERS
No Tazza-style deck rigging or hand chopping. Most importantly, no gambling. We will play with plastic chips to raise the faux stakes, but that's it! If you'd like to skip the lesson/demo, then please arrive at 2p for game play.

• 1:00p - 1:40p: Learn how to play
• 1:40p - 2:00p: Demo Game
