Definição e Significado de "Karuta"

What is "Karuta"?

Karuta is a traditional Japanese card game where players listen to poems being read aloud and try to quickly find and grab the card that matches the poem’s text or first line. The game uses two types of cards: one with the poems written on them and the other with images or keywords connected to the poems. As one player reads a poem, the other players race to find the correct card from the pile. The game continues until all the cards are taken. The player who collects the most cards by the end of the game wins. Karuta is a fast-paced game that requires both good listening skills and quick reactions.
