Tokkuri Taking is a game in which you will use the cards in your hands as either tokkuris, a traditional sake drinking vessel, or to drain some of the sake from the tokkuris on the table.

On your turn, either play a card face down as a tokkuri, or face up. If you play it face up, you must lower the sake level in tokkuri on the table corresponding to the number(s) on the card you played. A round ends once all players have played all of the cards in their hands.

Players will earn positive points for tokkuri they emptied and lose points for those in front of themselves that have too much still in them.

Scoring
Earn 1 point for each empty tokkuri you
have acquired.
Lose 2 points for each tokkuri in front of
you with 3 or more sake remaining in it.
The player with the highest score for the
round, wins. The other players must each
pay the winner the difference between
their score and that of the winner from
their bank (each player started the game
with a bank of 10).
