What kind of item is it?

The computer checks the table and its own cards every time to pick the card to play. If you use Sleepy Computer, the computer gets sleepy this round and plays any one card from its hand. The computer that usually chooses carefully ends up playing the wrong cards.

Let’s look at the effect in detail

  • The computer picks the card to play at random from its hand. A different card may come up each time.
  • Other choices, for example which table card to capture, whether to call Go or Stop, and whether to Shake, are made the way the computer normally makes them. Only the card it plays goes astray.
  • The effect lasts only for this round. When the round ends the computer goes back to normal.
  • The message says ‘The computer is sleepy… It will play the wrong cards this round’.
It doesn’t guarantee a win

In Hwatu, the first hand you’re dealt and the cards flipped from the deck matter a lot too. Even if the computer plays the wrong cards, how the round will go isn’t decided.

How to use

Before you begin

Items can be used only after logging in. If you aren’t logged in, you’ll see the message ‘Available after logging in’.

  1. Step 1 Before the round starts, while the ‘Start game’ button is showing, tap the Sleepy Computer picture on the item shelf. The item pictures are arranged in 2 columns and 5 rows. Hover over one with the mouse and a small tooltip shows its effect (or the reason you can’t use it).
  2. Step 2 The game pauses briefly, the screen dims, and an ‘Item’ description window opens. A large picture is on the left; the name, HP price and effect description are on the right.
  3. Step 3 Press [Use] and it takes effect right away. If you have an owned copy from a gift, it goes down by 1 (HP isn’t used); if you have none, the price is deducted from your HP.
  4. Step 4 When you can’t use it right now, [Use] is dimmed and the reason appears in red text (for example: Not enough HP, Can only be used on your turn).
  5. Step 5 If you’d rather not use it and just close the window, press [Close] (or the Esc key). The item and your HP stay as they were, and the game continues.

The picture above shows the description window redrawn as text. ○○ and △△ show your own HP.

You can also use the keyboard: Enter or Space = press the selected button, Left/Right arrow keys or Tab = move between buttons.

When is a good time to use it?

  • It can help on a day when you expect a poor hand, or when you want to try a round where the computer plays more loosely than usual.
  • You can also use Big Point Rate in a round where the point rate has been raised. Both are items used before the round starts. Just keep in mind that the higher the point rate, the heavier the cost of a lost round.
  • It’s also a nice way for someone just starting out to ease the burden and learn the rules.

Things to watch out for and limits

These are the conditions for use set by the game.

In cases like these Messages shown on the screen
When you aren’t logged in Available after logging in
Rounds in modes other than Endless (Single Match, Tournament, War of the Gods) Only usable in Endless mode
Items already used this round Already used this round
When not to use it Can only be used before the game starts
When another window (popup) is open Can’t be used right now
When you don’t have enough HP (and no owned copy) Not enough HP (200 HP needed)
Please remember

It can only be used before the round starts. It can only be used once per round, and it takes effect the moment you press [Use] in the description window.

HP and the daily gift

Items are paid for with HP (Healing Points). The moment you press [Use], HP goes down by the price, and if you don’t have enough HP you can’t use it (your balance never goes negative). HP can be earned as a reward for winning a round or making a great hand.

Daily login gift

Once a day, when you connect, you receive 1 item as a gift. It is 1 random item out of the 10 items. Even if you log in again the same day or restart the game, the gift is only once (the date is based on your own computer’s date).

An item received as a gift is shown next to its shelf picture as ×count. When you use that item, one owned copy is used first instead of HP, and HP doesn’t go down. If you have an owned copy you can use it even when you’re short of HP (the once-per-round limit still applies, though).

Frequently asked questions

Q. Does the computer lose on purpose?
No. It just picks the card to play at random, and winning or losing depends on how the round flows.
Q. Do the Go/Stop choices become random too?
No. Only the card it plays goes astray. The other choices are the same as usual.
Q. Is the computer still sleepy next round?
No. It goes back to normal when this round ends.
Q. Can’t I use it after the round has started?
Yes. It can only be used before the start, and after the start it says ‘Can only be used before the game starts’.
Q. Can I use Undo Move, Coach Hint and Go Insurance too?
Yes. These three can now be used officially too. For details, see the posts on Undo Move, Coach Hint and Go Insurance.

The opponent reacts when you use an item

When you use an item, the opponent character may react with a short line.

For details, see the post HealingMatgo, where you chat with your opponent.
