Description

In Five Seven Five you play with friends to match 7 syllable lines with 5 syllable lines to create short poems. Draw 7 syllable cards from the koi pond to complete unique haiku. For each haiku you complete, add a feature to your traditional Japanese water garden. Five Seven Five is not a competitive game and is designed to be a relaxing, meditative experience.

Five Seven Five features original hand-drawn artwork and all of the haiku lines are original translations of the poems of Bashō, the Japanese poet famous for popularizing the haiku form.
