Overview

In Sushi Go!, players are diners at a sushi restaurant, trying to grab the best combinations of sushi dishes as they whiz by. Each round, you'll be dealt a hand of cards representing different types of sushi, appetizers, and desserts. Simultaneously, everyone chooses a card from their hand, places it face down, and then reveals it. The remaining cards are then passed to the next player.

The goal is to collect sets of cards that score points in different ways. Some sushi dishes, like Maki Rolls, award points based on who has the most. Others, like Tempura and Sashimi, require specific sets to score. Don't forget dessert! Pudding is scored at the end of the game, and having the most or fewest can swing the outcome. The simultaneous selection and passing of cards creates interesting choices, as you must balance your own scoring opportunities with disrupting your opponents' plans.
