How to Play Sushi Go Party! Gameplay in Simple Steps

Game is played over 3 rounds. During each round, players pick and pass cards around in the attempt to score the highest points.

Start of round – Choose 1 card from your hand

Everyone chooses 1 card from their hands and place it face-down in front of them. Once this is done, everyone reveals their selected cards.

Pass the remaining cards to your left player

You pass your remaining hand face-down to your left player. 
Everyone picks up their new hands.
The next turn starts with players having a new and smaller hand to choose from.

Special Card Actions

Sushi Go Party Special Action cards

Most cards score at the end of a round, but there are a few that have special rules that may affect the current turn. 
Chopsticks and spoon cards allow you to perform a bonus action on any turn after the turn in which the card is originally played.
Use a bonus action card by calling out the card’s name as all players reveal their cards during the turn. 
Once everyone has played their chosen cards, the called-out action takes effect.
Before players begin their next turn, bonus actions occur before they pick up their right neighbor’s hand. The “Card Guide” describes how each card works. 

IMPORTANT! If multiple bonus actions are played in the same turn and/or if multiple menus or takeout boxes are played in the same turn, the order of resolving the cards is determined by the small number in the card’s lower-right corner. The lowest number goes first, followed by others in ascending order.

End of Round

The round ends when everyone has played all their cards. If you have any dessert cards, place them off to the side so they can be scored at the end of the game.
Score all the other cards you played this round. Each card type scores differently, as the “Card Guide” explains.
Move your pawn along the score track on the board to show your score.

Start a new round

Except for dessert cards that were played, gather all cards and shuffle them. (Add in new dessert cards for the next round.) Start the next round.

How do you win?

After 3 rounds of play, the game ends. Along with regular scoring, make sure also to score your dessert cards, as described in the “Card Guide.” If there is a tie, the player with the most dessert cards wins.
