Sen-Roku-Jū [千六十 - せんろくじゅう, lit. “One Thousand and Sixty”], also known as Maebashi-hana [前橋花] is a Bakappana variant for three players, with simple rules.
The name Sen-Roku-Jū refers to the target score of the game: 1060 points.
On the other hand, the name Maebashi-hana may refer to Maebashi, which is currently a city in the Gunma Prefecture in northern Kanto, Japan.
The card values used in Sen-Roku-Jū are standard except for the Chaff, which are 10 points each, the same value as Animals.
| Card Type | Value | Number in Deck |
|---|---|---|
| Bright | 20 | 5 |
| Animal | 10 | 9 |
| Ribbon | 5 | 10 |
| Chaff | 10 | 24 |
The setup and gameplay are the same as Bakappana; In each round, players play until their hands run out of cards, then they count their captured card points (there are no Yaku). The winner in a round becomes the dealer for the next round.
There are two attested rules as to how the scoring is to be done. Each rule will be described below.
Just like in Roppyakken, the scoring is cumulative: Players’ points per round are tallied (preferably on a piece of paper). After every round, the players’ total scores in the entire game are checked to see if a player has reached 1060 points.
Once a player reaches 1060 points, the game ends, and that player becomes the winner of the game.
In this method, the game lasts for only 10 rounds. The player with the most points after the 10th round is the winner.
Also each player should start with an equal but arbitrary number of points before starting the game.
After players have counted their captured card points, they subtract the par score to get the settlement score, and they do the settlement accordingly (negative score means you lose points; positive score means you gain points).
The par score depends on the seat of the player:
| Turn Order | Player’s Seat | PAR SCORE |
|---|---|---|
| 1st | Dealer | 150 |
| 2nd | Dealer’s right | 160 |
| 3rd | Dealer’s left | 170 |
