How to Play Sushi Party: A Quick Rundown

New to Sushi Party Don’t worry—the rules are simple enough to learn in minutes, yet the game offers enough depth to keep you coming back. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

• Set the Menu: Before the game begins, players choose a "menu" of card types to use. The game includes preset menus (like "Party Sampler" or "Master Menu") or lets you craft your own from categories like rolls, appetizers, specials, and desserts. Nigiri cards are always included.
• Deal the Cards: Depending on the player count (2-8), each player receives a hand of cards—e.g., 10 cards for 2-3 players, 8 cards for 6-8 players.
• Draft and Pass: All players secretly pick one card from their hand, reveal it simultaneously, and place it in front of them. Then, pass the remaining cards to the player on your left (or right, in later rounds). Repeat until all cards are played.
• Score the Round: At the end of each round, tally points based on the cards you’ve collected. For example:
  • Tempura: 5 points for a pair, 0 otherwise.
  • Maki Rolls: 6 points for the most, 3 for second-most.
  • Wasabi: Triples the points of your next nigiri.
  • Desserts: Scored only at the end of the game—6 points for the most, -6 for the least.
• Repeat for Three Rounds: After three rounds, add up your totals, including dessert points, to crown the winner.

The game board doubles as a scoring track and a handy reference for the menu, making it easy to keep track of everything. A typical game lasts about 20-30 minutes, perfect for a quick session or multiple plays.
