only one game

I had this 2 times already.
If after the 3rd round, nobody won with 11 points or winning 4 girls, the game continues, specially if points are 8:9 something like this.
So the rule is, that the person with 9 points is the winner (more than 8), but the game continues until one has 4 girls or 11 points. This is wrong. The game always ends after 3 rounds.

as I know, that is optional. before starting playerscan choice if mostly 3 rounds

Hi UFM,

okay, with the given rule book, I agree that there it is not stated that after 3 rounds there is an end.
I have an older version of the game, where it is clearly stated.
So I agree, as you need to build the game according to the actual rules...then its no error.

However...a game can last then forever... I played for over 6 rounds with no winner... and we both agreed to cancel the game...as we both knew the rule, that after 3 rounds there is a finish.
A lot of players will not like the game this way, as they learned it differently. Maybe you can ask the publisher if they might made a mistake?
There is some discussion on this topic on BGG:

but with no real result....

Hi Emma,

First of all thanks a lot for your reply.

BUT: "Broxi4769" is absolutely right with his points - the rule you show with the link is not an "official" one from the game if you buy it - AND: he is also right that a game can last then forever.

Hanamikoji is soooo nice also it is strictly limited in time with 2 rounds.

So again I would kindly ask if you might overthink this and implement this restriction.

Best and kind regards!

The official rules say than if there's no winner after the round 3 then the game end. The winner will be the one with the more poins and if there's a drawn again then there is no winner. We should implement an option to play either as many round as we want + another option with the real rules saying than we stop after 3 round

You can see the rules talking about the end of the games in Page 11

Si, après 3 manches, aucun joueur n’a encore rempli de condition de victoire, le gagnant est le joueur avec le plus de points Art. S’il y a égalité, la partie se termine, et il n’y a pas de gagnant

Falls nach 3 Runden noch immer kein Spieler die Siegbedingung erfüllt hat, gewinnt der Spieler mit mehr Gunstpunkten. Bei Gleichstand endet das Spiel unentschieden.

ENGLISH TRADUCTION
If, after 3 rounds, no player has yet met the victory condition, the winner is the player with the most points Art. If there is a tie, the game ends, and there is no winner
