What is Sushi Go?

Sushi Go is a fast-paced card drafting game designed by Phil Walker-Harding. In Sushi Go, players compete to create the most appealing sushi dishes by selecting and passing around adorable sushi-themed cards. The game is easy to learn, quick to play, and packed with strategic decisions.

How to Play Sushi Go

Objective: The goal of Sushi Go is to earn the most points by creating delicious combinations of sushi dishes.

Setup:

  1. Deal Cards: Shuffle the deck of Sushi Go cards and deal a hand to each player, depending on the number of players.
  2. Prepare the Menu: Place the menu board in the center of the table. This board shows the different types of sushi cards and their point values.

Gameplay:

  1. Pick and Pass: Each round consists of players simultaneously choosing one card from their hand to keep and passing the remaining cards to the next player. Cards are passed in alternating directions between rounds.
  2. Choose Sushi Dishes:
    • Nigiri: Collect Nigiri cards, which represent different types of sushi with varying point values.
    • Sashimi: Gather sets of three Sashimi cards to score big points.
    • Tempura and Dumplings: Accumulate pairs of Tempura and sets of Dumpling cards for additional points.
    • Wasabi and Maki Rolls: Use Wasabi cards to multiply the value of Nigiri cards and compete for the most Maki Roll points.
  3. Score Points: At the end of each round, players reveal their chosen cards and calculate their points based on the sushi combinations they've collected.
  4. Continue for Three Rounds: Repeat the drafting and scoring process for three rounds. The player with the most points at the end of the game wins.

  • Accessible Gameplay: Simple rules make Sushi Go easy to learn and suitable for players of all skill levels.
  • Engaging Theme: The adorable sushi-themed artwork and playful design appeal to both children and adults.
