Sushi Go Party! - The Deluxe Pick & Pass Card Game by Gamewright, Multicolored

If you like Sushi Go you owe it to yourself to buy this. At the start, you choose a set of food items that will be used during the game, shuffle those cards together into a deck, and play just like the original game, using that deck. With a large variety of new card types added, this makes it so every game can be different, or you can find a deck combination that you find particularly fun and play with that.You can also just play the original game, by choosing only the original foods.One much needed improvement over the original is the addition of a board for score tracking. No more pen and paper score keeping!For those of you not familiar with the original game, Sushi Go (and now Sushi Go Party) is a fantastic family game that's fast paced, easy to learn, and simple but with a nice amount of depth and decision-making. It's a "pick and pass" game where you choose a card from your hand to play, pass your hand to the next player (and receive a new hand yourself) and repeat until the hands run out. If you've ever played 7 wonders, this game is like a much simpler version of that. The cards all are worth different amounts of points depending on how/when you play them. For example some cards multiply future cards, and some cards only give you points if you acquire sets of them. At the end of three rounds everyone totals up their score (including desserts!) to decide the winner. It's a light weight, enjoyable game that plays in less that 30 minutes.Also all the cards are colorfully illustrated with adorable sushi critters. 10/10!

*Sushi Go! Party* is the perfect upgrade for fans of the original game, offering a delicious array of new dishes and the ability to play with up to 8 players. With over 20 customizable cards to choose from, every game feels fresh, allowing for new strategies and fun combinations. The added option to adjust the difficulty level makes it perfect for both casual and competitive players alike. It's a fast, engaging party game that guarantees a good time for everyone!

Simple, yet fun board game that involves thinking to ensure you (the player) gets the most points each round using the variety of cards that are utilized in one game. On the other hand, you can be annoying by constantly sabotaging your opponents from playing the cards they need. Overall, the board game is well-designed and is of great value for anyone looking for an easy way to spend time with friends/family.

Highlights: This game is worth it, well thought out, anybody can play and enjoy it, can be set up for strategy or easy play, always makes a hit at parties, and even little kids can play (WITH adults) and everybody can have fun. Included in box: clear, well written rules, a "menu" board, cards, point-keeping playing pieces, and a useful card sorter at the bottom of the box.Sushi Go Party is the next game out after Sushi Go. At first glance we avoided buying this as we thought it looked like an empty money-grabber sequel with no real additions. This was FALSE. If in doubt between Sushi Go and Sushi Go Party - buy Sushi Go Party. We own Sushi Go, and it's really great, but Sushi Go Party includes Sushi Go and has fantastic additional gameplay, endless options, fun, and strategy and/or easy play (depending on cards chosen for an individual game).The main differences: Sushi Go includes a deck of cards which you deal from three times (three rounds in each game). Sushi Go Party includes several varieties of cards that CAN be included, but the main difference in game play to the original is that the cards in the deck chosen for a three round game is SHUFFLED in between rounds. SG Party includes a game board that helps you keep count of points gained (necessary for a few of the cards during a round, such as Uramaki).The game board acts as both a score keeper and a menu. Points are shown by moving a colorful mini soy sauce around the numbered blocks around the edge of the board. The "menu" aspect is shown by the representational cardboard cards put in the middle of the board - these are the cards that will be in play through the three rounds of a single game. The cards are basically divided into types of cards, and the menu helps you create your own playing deck types. The manual lists some game types that are advised, such as original (Sushi Go) but you can invent your own - we've played with no desserts, for example. Cards are broken up into types and a certain number of these are advised per game: 1 Maki per game, 3 appetizers, 2 Specials, 1 Dessert.Cards include:Nigiri;Maki: Maki, Uramaki, Temaki;Standard Sushi Go Appetizers: Dumpling, Sashimi, TempuraNew Appetizers: Edamame, Eel, Onigiri, Miso, Tofu;Specials: Chopsticks, Wasabi, Menu, Takeout Box, Soy Sauce, Spoon, Special Order, TeaDesserts: Pudding, Green Tea Ice Cream, FruitIf too many cards are overwhelming at first, and you've never played Sushi Go, play a practice round with only nigiri cards to start seeing how play works. Pick one card, pass your hand, everyone flips their chosen card. Once everybody gets this, add in new cards. Basically each card has it's own rules for play, and as you add in new cards it can get more complex with more strategy. Our little one has won just playing cards he liked, though, so don't discount the kids. Most of the cards have pretty easy rules printed on the cards themselves but it doesn't require reading to play. I wouldn't advise playing with a few of the specials cards (edamame and spoon cards for example) with little ones though.We love this game and play it over and over. Adults love it. Kids love it. And it's fun to play with even a mixed crowd of kids and adults. My kids and nieces (ages four and up) can play. That's quite a bonus for a game. Teach the card types one at a time and even little ones can play - we've successfully taught a three year old to play basic Sushi Go. If you don't have room for many games in your house, go for this one. You won't regret it. Highly advised for adults and kids alike!

Currently my all time favorite game, can't get enough of it!Has a wonderful tin with slots to hold each of the category of cards in for easy selection of the menu ingredients.Easy to learn, is a favorite at our game nights, ages ranging between 45-55. Not just a kids game, although I think older kids would really like it also.The board is a Menu, and you can either pick from one of the ingredient selections from the instructions, or simply create your own menu of ingredients. Each game is totally unique even with the same menu each time, although the many different menu options make the replay value VERY high!Scoring is based on collecting a certain amount of the ingredients (which are VERY cute!!!!), but you can also lose points if you don't have enough or too many ingredients. Cards are shuffled, you pick one and pass to the player on the left. A round goes until the cards run out. There are 3 rounds to a game. Gameplay is quick so not something drawn out and boring like a bad Monopoly game.Tin is portable for travel. Its not small enough for a pocket game, for that you'd want Sushi Go the card game, however options are more limited as only one menu of ingredients are available with it (and is included in this party version).I HIGHLY recommend this game to anyone.
