Sushi Go! Spin Some for Dim Sum (+ Surprise!)

Spin Some for Dim Sum is played over twelve rounds. In each round, you collect one card from a steamer basket on the Lazy Susan and add it to your personal menu. By default, you take the dish directly in front of you, but by spending chopstick tokens, you can rotate the Lazy Susan so a different basket moves to your position. If you take a steamed bun card, you receive the Squishy Bun, which allows you to rotate the Lazy Susan for free in the next turn. You score points by collecting clever sets: pairs of chive dumplings, trios of shrimp dumplings, quadruplets of shumai, and ascending runs of egg tarts each earn points in their own way. After twelve rounds, everyone tallies their score—including bonus points for leftover chopsticks—and the player with the most points wins.

Spin Some for Dim Sum puts a literal spin on the familiar Sushi Go! recipe: the rotating Lazy Susan with steamer baskets adds a playful, physical element that immediately sets the game apart from the card and dice versions. The choice between settling for what's in front of you or investing chopsticks to spin creates a fun tension between patience and greed. The illustrations are once again irresistible, and the rules can be explained in minutes. Reviewers call it an excellent entry-level game for families, although it offers less strategic depth than the original Sushi Go! or Sushi Go! Party. A charming, standalone addition to the series that primarily scores high on tabletop fun and accessibility.
