Question 1

Is it fun to play with just two people?

Accepted Answer

I think this game is most fun with 3-4 players.  With 5 it becomes a bit too random, and with 2 a bit too repetitive, but when played by 2 players, this allows each player to foresee their strategy plan better.

Question 2

Do you have to know and like sushi rolls to understand how to play the game?

Accepted Answer

No, the scoring is based on simple set collection. It's slightly thematic - ex. wasabi makes the next nigiri worth more points because it would presumably improve the taste. You can check out the rules here http://www.gamewright.com/gamewright/pdfs/Rules/SushiGoTM-RULES.pdf. People that enjoy sushi definitely get an extra kick out of the game because of the appealing theme, but it's not a huge factor in the gameplay itself. If you're looking for a game in the same vein, but with a different theme, would recommend either Biblios (more depth and replayability) or Jaipur (fantastic set collection style game for 2 players only).

Question 3

Would this be suitable for a group of college aged kids? I see lots of comments regarding younger kids and want to make sure.

Accepted Answer

My community college has a weekly game night and this game almost always makes an appearance. Our group ages in range from young adults at 18, to our more “experienced” members in their 50’s. The game is incredibly easy to pick up and the rules/gameplay is simple enough that you’ll be playing almost instantly.

Question 4

My kids love Sushi and we love Gamewright. Is this too tricky for 4 and 6 year olds used to card games?

Accepted Answer

we have a 6 3/4 yo and a just-turned-4 yo and this is their favorite game recently.  our scores tonight were: 6yo: 35; 4yo: 33; 38yo: 30; 41yo: 36.  yup, they totally hold their own! :)  the 4yo wouldn't do the math on her own, but the game play is no problem and she seems to get the strategy intuitively.
