This past Saturday International Club students participated in the annual Karuta tournament at the school. Karta (From the Portuguese carta, meaning, well, card) is a Japanese card game in which players try to match the first half of Japanese poems, read aloud by the MC, to the second half of the poems, written on cards and placed at random in front of the players. The player who finds the matching half of the poem wins the card and the player with the biggest stack of cards at the end of the game wins. It's not super difficult to play, but it is super difficult to explain so I'll just show you some pictures so you get the idea.
