Hoku
Hoku is the newest game to the Yard Games World! It may be small but it’s mighty. The game is shaped like an asterisk but there’s no side notes needed. It’s fun plain and simple. Just shoot your wood piece and try to get it as close to center or fit it in one of the side slots to score a Hoku.

These games are a big part of these traditions and help provide a sense of identity for the communities they were developed in. Just like the different foods around the world...
