Sushi Go! Party (+ Surprise!)

Before the game begins, you jointly create a menu by choosing eight dishes from over twenty menu cards—each with a unique scoring method. Over three rounds, everyone receives a hand of cards, simultaneously chooses one card to keep, and passes the rest to their neighbor until all cards are gone. Combinations such as pairs of tempura, trios of sashimi, or ascending sequences of dumplings earn points, while special cards like wasabi, chopsticks, and the takeout box provide additional tactical opportunities. Dessert cards are kept separate and are only scored after the third round. The player with the highest total score after three rounds wins.

Sushi Go! Party elevates the popular original with a modular menu system that provides immense replayability: with over twenty dishes to choose from, no two games are ever the same. The pick-and-pass principle remains brilliant in its simplicity, but the extra card types - from edamame to miso soup - offer noticeably more tactical depth and surprising interactions. The included game board with a score track and recessed menu slots gives the whole a polished, clear appearance. Reviewers consider Party to be the definitive version: it contains all the cards from the base game plus much more, scales excellently for larger groups, and is just as quick to explain. The logical choice for existing fans and newcomers who want everything right away.
