Rice and dice! Roll with your favourite Sushi Go! characters in Sushi Roll, a dice-based version of the best-selling card game! Load up the conveyor belts with savoury sushi dice - then pick one and pass the rest! Earn points for winning combos like two tempura or a set of sashimi. Grab a menu to re-roll your dice or use chopsticks to swap with an opponent. And be sure to save room for pudding at the end!
Gamewright let me know they’d be interested in a dice version of Sushi Go! not long after they released the original game. I set to work, but having never designed a game with dice before, it took a long while to land on a concept I thought was worthwhile. After throwing away a couple of versions, an obvious thought hit me - in a Sushi Go! dice game the players have to be passing a whole bunch of dice around the table! This became the starting point for the design, and it was a fun challenge to work with dice rolling and pass-drafting at the same time.
