Description

In SUMO, a quick and easy-to-learn game designed by kota konno, you're pitted against your opponent in a battle of wits and card play. The goal is simple: use your cards to push your opponent's sumo wrestler out of the ring. With just 20 cards in the deck, numbered 1-5 in four suits, you'll need to think strategically to outmaneuver your opponent. Each player starts with a hand of eight cards, and the game is played in a series of tricks, with the high card playing first. As you play, you'll need to follow suit if possible, and try to outdo your opponent with higher cards. But watch out for the special "sumo moves" that can turn the game on its head. With moves like Abise-taoshi, Hikiotoshi, and Wucchari, you can catch your opponent off guard and send their wrestler tumbling out of the ring. The game is over in just 5 minutes, making it a great option for a quick gaming fix. With its simple rules and fast-paced gameplay, SUMO is a fun and engaging game that's perfect for two players looking for a challenge. Published in 2023, SUMO is a great addition to any gaming collection, and its trick-taking mechanics will keep you coming back for more.
