THE STORY BEHIND THE PROJECTFrom Mensa meetups to Finesse.cards: a home for Hanabi scenariosHow a game at a Mensa gathering became an independent platform for learning, playing and exchanging ideas.Read the story Where it started.
I first played Hanabi at a Mensa gathering in Seville. The game’s clues, shared conventions and hidden information kept me thinking long after the table cleared. Meeting more players at Hanabi University, organised by Mensa España, helped turn that curiosity into a product.
From idea to implementation.
Finesse.cards brings interactive lessons, games with bots, online multiplayer and a community forum into a responsive web experience. Players can reconstruct a position, share a scenario and discuss possible moves. The work connects game rules, learning interactions, accounts and persistent community content.
Make a subtle game approachable.
Guided lessons combine an interactive table with short explanations and playable steps. The same visual language carries into games and shared scenarios, helping players connect an abstract convention to a concrete position.
Give a good conversation somewhere to live.
A position can become a shareable page with its own discussion. The forum preserves questions, alternative lines and replies so players can return to an idea after the game is over.
Where it stands.
Published on the web, with public lessons and community scenarios. Account-based play and participation require sign-in. The screenshot shows the web application. Finesse.cards is an independent project inspired by the people and games I encountered through Mensa.
