Wasabi!
Build sushi recipes on a shrinking board and wreck your rivals' plates with Wasabi!
Who it's for
You like pattern-building puzzles with a bit of mischief and a food theme, in a game that wraps up in about 45 minutes.
Not for you if…
You want a calm solitary puzzle. Rivals can mess with your layout, and the shrinking board forces quick choices.
Vibe's take
Light, puzzly and cheeky, with a clock that keeps ticking because the board keeps filling. You are always choosing between finishing fast and finishing well.
About this game
Wasabi! turns sushi making into a race against a shrinking board. You draw ingredients from the pantry and play them one at a time onto the board, building on what is already there to complete recipes of different difficulty. Each finished recipe earns you a special action from the kitchen – Chop!, Stack!, Switch!, Spicy! or the dreaded Wasabi! – which you can use to help yourself or wreck an opponent's half-finished creation. Stylish completions score bonus points, but the board fills up fast, so you balance speed with technique. The game ends when the board is full. Two to four players, around 45 minutes.
