If you find that you are playing this game "Sushi Go" then ill share what I am trying to understand about the strategy:
Card Tiers
T1 (High Priority): Squid Nigiri (3 pts), Wasabi (multipliers), early Chopsticks.
T2 (Situational): Sashimi (10 pts/3), Tempura (5 pts/2), Dumplings (scaling).
T3 (Low Priority): Maki Rolls (trap), Egg Nigiri (filler).
Pro Tactics
The Pudding Rule: Never have the least. Avoid the -6 point penalty at all costs.
Hate Drafting: Take a card an opponent needs to break their high-value sets.
Late Chopsticks: Use mid-round to grab two power cards before the trash remains.
Player Count Adjustments
2 Players: Focus on denial. Pudding has no negative penalty in this mode.
4-5 Players: Sets are difficult to complete. Prioritize consistent Nigiri and Wasabi.
