Sushi Go! card game review

 Sushi Go! is a fun little card game, it can accommodate up to 5 people.  The point of the game is simple.  There are different types of sushi, each of which has some sort of point value that is scored slightly differently - depending on the color of the card and type of sushi that is represented.  At the bottom of each card. there is a cheat reminder that outlines how many points a card is worth, and how that specific card may interact with others. 

I like this game, because once you have a grasp on what each card does, there is no other reading involved.  The game is just a bunch of pictures, making it much more accessible for someone with severe or even moderate dyslexia.  The game also scales well depending on the number of players, going all the way down to 2 player games.  The rules don't really change depending on the number of players, save for the number of cards available in the starting hand.  This is another good caveat of the game, because there is no need to memorize or learn separate rules because you have less or more people than last time.  

The game is also really simple.  This enables anyone to play, even someone as young as 6 years old.  They would just have to be able to recognize the numbers on the card, and understand the basic point system.  With adults, the game can still be fun due to its fast paced nature.  In my personal experience, this is a really hard balance to strike, allowing accessibility to many more people than other more traditional games.  

This game can be especially fun if you love sushi.  My family and I probably mispronounce all of the names of the various different types of sushi, due to the fact that we hardly ever eat it.  For the sushi enthusiasts, however, they may get "hangry".  The game itself is split into three rounds.  At the end of the three rounds all of the points are added up, and the person with the most over the course of the game wins! Lastly, this game is very quick and simple to set up and play.
