Korean Poker, Hato(?)

[littlraven]

I've seen my mom and her friends play a poker game that I believe she called Hato. I was wondering if anyone could let me know if that's the right spelling/name I'm remembering and also what exactly the rules were.

Upon researching more I've found that they are also known as Flower cards, but the question remains, what are the rules in Korea/Korean versions?

One of the great articles to emerge on the Galbijim wiki when there were actually users contributing to it was the article on hwatu.
