Setup

Shuffle the deck of 108 cards (sushi dishes: Nigiri, Maki, Tempura, Sashimi, Dumpling, Wasabi, Chopsticks, Pudding). Deal a hand of cards to each player (depending on player count: 2 players = 10 cards, 3 = 9, 4 = 8, 5 = 7). Players keep their hand secret.

How to Play

  1. The game has 3 rounds. Each round, players simultaneously choose one card from their hand and place it face-down in front of them.
  2. Then all players reveal their chosen card.
  3. Pass the remaining hand to the player on the left.
  4. Repeat until all cards are played.
  5. Scoring happens at the end of each round: Nigiri (1-3 points), Maki (most rolls = 6 points, second = 3), Tempura (2 cards = 5 points), Sashimi (3 cards = 10 points), Dumpling (1-5 cards = 1,3,6,10,15 points), Wasabi (triples next Nigiri), Chopsticks (lets you take two cards next turn).
  6. Pudding cards are scored only at the end of round 3: most pudding = 6 points, least = -6 points.

Winning the Game

Add round scores plus pudding bonus/penalty at the end of round 3. The player with the highest total after 3 rounds wins.
