In this game, players roll specialized sushi dice to collect sushi and fishbone tiles. You need to remember which tiles have been collected and can steal tiles from others by rolling chopsticks on your dice. The game ends when all tiles are taken, and scoring accounts for positive and negative points, with excess blue sushi tiles causing point loss.
