Description

Pass the sushi! In this fast-playing card game, the goal is to grab the best combination of sushi dishes as they whiz by. Score points for making the most maki rolls or for collecting a full set of sashimi. Dip your favorite nigiri in wasabi to triple its value. But be sure to leave room for dessert or else you’ll eat into your score! Gather the most points and consider yourself the sushi master!

We’re huge fans of eating sushi here at Gamewright HQ, so it came as little surprise that we instantly fell in love with this “delicious” sushi-themed card game. Inventor Phil Walker-Harding created a unique and immediately approachable take on card drafting that makes for a game that’s easy to learn, quick to play, and yet engaging for all ages. Just like a great meal at a sushi bar, this game will have you coming back for more time and time again!

Observations

– Counterfeit copies of the game come only in cardboard and not metal tin boxes, with incorrect number of cards

– Suitable for younger children due to the simple rules and fixed set of basic cards

– Laughs and groans come organically from players getting lucky with card selection or choosing cards which cancel one another out

– Enjoyment hinges on choosing cards based on your memory of cards given away and guesswork of other players likely card choice

– Similar patterns of play over multiple sessions means lower replayability than the Sushi Go Party edition

Alternatives

– Sushi Go Party, the superior version to get for more replayability

– 7 Wonders, plays exactly like Sushi Go Party with more rules

– It’s a Wonderful World, a longer 60 minute game that plays like 7 Wonders combined with Splendor

– Azul or Azul Summer Pavilion, 2-4 player drafting games that feature less luck

– 7 Wonders Duel, Hanamikoji, and Mandala, all 2 player games that feature good drafting
