Pass the sushi!
Wait, sushi? There's a sushi-themed game? Could this be board games' jump-the-shark moment? Nah, this game is too fun. Just go with it, and pass the shark sushi please!
In this fast-playing card game, the goal is to grab the best combination of sushi dishes as they whiz by. Score points for making the most maki rolls or for collecting a full set of sashimi. Dip your favorite nigiri in wasabi to triple its value. But be sure to leave room for dessert or else you’ll eat into your score. Gather the most points and consider yourself the sushi master!
This is a unique and immediately approachable take on card drafting (like Go Fish, where players pick cards from a central pot) that makes for a game that's easy to learn, quick to play, and yet engaging for all ages. You might not be able to get your kids to try wasabi, but you can get them to try to grab that wasabi card. The cards are brightly colored with fun, appealing pictures for your littlest gamers. Read more about why we picked Sushi Go! as a top 5 pick for children's games.
This game comes in a collectible tin. It makes a great gift for kids, families, foodies, snooty sushi connoisseurs, and anyone who's sad that they haven't been to a real sushi restaurant in months (#2020).
