With the previous week (week 7) of reviewing other classmates games, this post will consist of reviews from week 8.
Gameplay
Sushi Chef Express prototype play was rather successful this week. The gameplay lasts about 25-30 minutes for four players. Some reviews suggested adding more cards or starting the game with 3 cards (instead of 5) for 3-4 players and keeping it as a starting hand of 5 cards for 2 players. Another idea would be to add attack cards that would steal or remove sushi pieces from opponents boards. Other suggestions included determining if it will be a more strategic game as appose to chance based which would involve changing certain actions on cards. The theme of the goals and roles will also be changed to match the game’s story better.
Destination Stranded! gameplay was also successful but might also need more cards added and perhaps add to the rules to remove some event cards with a certain amount of players playing.
Game Review
This week I played Sushi Go for the first time and thought it was a rather enjoyable fast-paced game. The goal is to grab the most sushi points by the end of the game. The gameplay is fast and constantly changing with cards that you play. It seems like a good gateway game that provides a fun atmosphere, replay value, and an uncomplicated ruleset. I enjoyed the graphics the most.
