Game Response Questions – SushiGo

  1. Was it fun?
    • I actually really enjoyed playing this game more than I thought.  I thought it was going to be something more like Fluxx, but I think what really helped was the theme and the characters, which makes sense why it was a Gateway game.
  2. What were the player interactions?
    •  In the game, The Players interacted by passing along their cards after selecting one from the pile that they were given, almost like take one and pass it down. Another aspect of player interaction had to do with after the card got passed down, you sort of had to make a guess as to how you could use those cards to your advantage so that another player doesn’t get that card.
  3. How long did it take to learn?
    •  The game took us to learn all of 5 minutes, and we played two whole rounds of the game. Once you sort of just looked at the basic directions, it was not hard at all to put together.
  4. What was the most frustrating moment or aspect of what you just played?
    • I would say the most frustrating moment or aspect of the game that we played was the putting card, because truly that could make or break the entirety of your game; however, I did think it was an interesting add-on.
  5. What was your favorite moment or aspect of what you just played?
    •  My favorite moment of playing the game was honestly seeing how many of each I could stack on top of each other with the sashimi because once you hit three cards, it’s equivalent to 10 points, and also strategizing what is the easiest way to make the most points.
  6. Was there anything you wanted to do that you couldn’t?
    •  Honestly, with this game, there is nothing I would change, but maybe the pacing of the game and the playing of a total of three rounds, sort of like rock, paper, scissors, but I think it was interesting.
  7. If you had a magic wand to wave, and you could change, add, or remove anything from the experience, what would it be?
    •  If I could maybe wave a magic wand and change something with this game, I would definitely change something with the pacing of each round. I’m not exactly sure how I would change it, but honestly, I think maybe going through the whole deck would be quite fun, just dividing the entire deck amongst all the players.
  8. Is this a game you would play again? Yes _____ No ______ Why
    • This is definitely a game I would play again, and I actually considered looking up where I could buy this game because I think it’s something simple and easy to take your mind off of things, and it is very much lighthearted and for all audiences.
  9. Analyze the game using the 3 act structure.
    •  SushiGo in the  3 act structure, follows the beginning where each player is dealt a certain amount of cards and they must decide which of those cards is the most valuable to place then, the middle act involves deciding what strategy would it be best to take as far as what round you’re on and where each player seems to be going with their drawing patterns.  Lastly, I would say the final Act truthfully comes down to the rice pudding as well as the anticipation of what final card you will draw and have no other choice but to place down.
