Chapter 1. Cross-culture
GoStop or Godori is the most popular card game in Korea. The game is played with flower cards called "Hwa-tu" known as "Hana-Fuda" in Japan. (Hwa & Hana means "flower", Tu & Fuda means "Throw")
Hwatu is believed to have been introduced to Korea in the 19th century by merchants from Tsushima Island, Japan. So far, several dozen Hwatu games have been developed in Korea and Japan. But "GoStop" was developed in Korea and it is the most popular one. Nowadays, only few Japanese know Hwatu, but almost every Korean knows it and over half of them can play it.
In holiday seasons like "the Chinese New Years day" or "Chu-suk;Thanksgiving day", people go back to their hometown to visit their parents or relatives. Once gathered, they almost always play GoStop.
In Korea, Gostop or sometimes Poker can be played in the following places.
- at a funeral

- on a journey

Chapter 4. How to Play
■ The rule for 3 players
1. The winner of each session gets to play first in the subsequent game. And he becomes a dealer.
2. The play goes counterclockwise: the dealer shuffles and then distributes 4 cards to each player, lays 3 cards face up on the table, then distributes 3 more cards to the players and lays 3 cards on the table again. The remaining cards are stacked in the middle, face down.
- Each player has 7 cards in their hand : I will call them "Your cards"
- In the middle, 6 cards are face up : I will call them "Common cards"
- In the middle, the remaining cards are face down : I will call them "Common Stock"
- In the middle, 6 cards are face up : I will call them "Common cards"
- In the middle, the remaining cards are face down : I will call them "Common Stock"
3. GoStop is all about matching and scoring. The basic rules of the game are to draw one of the cards from"Your cards" to match one of the "Common Cards". Once matched, it becomes "Your property".
4. Even if you don't have any matching cards, you still have to put down one card in Common cards from"Your cards". Then, draw the top card from the "Common Stock" and see if there is a matching card among"Common cards". If there's no matching card, the "Common Stock" card you drew is placed with the"Common cards"
5. The objective of playing GoStop is to earn points. Whoever gets 3 points or more first can call for "Go" or "Stop". If the player calls for "Go," then the game resumes. While calling for "Go" can increase your winnings, the player can get a penalty if he/she finally loses. The game ends when a player calls for "Stop"
