Read the full game description
Maki Master challenges sushi chefs to complete increasingly valuable recipes on a shared board. Each turn adds an ingredient tile to the kitchen, but the legal space contracts as the meal develops and every placement can open or close several patterns. Completed recipes score points and unlock action cards, while spicy wasabi creates extra opportunities for precise timing. This new implementation of Wasabi! keeps the approachable spatial puzzle while adding a solo mode and a brisker competitive edge.
