How to Score Points in Sushi Go
Dumpling cards has a point value of one for the first dumpling, three point for two dumplings, six points for three dumplings, and ten points for four dumplings. However, five dumplings or more is worth fifteen points for a player, and players should of avoid collecting four dumplings due to the decreasing point value of each additional dumpling. Nigiri cards has a point value of one for egg cards, two points for salmon cards, and three points for squid card.
Additionally, wasabi cards will triple the point value of any nigiri card that are played with the wasabi card. Thus, if a player plays a wasabi card with a squid card, the squid card becomes worth nine point. However, since wasabi cards will triple the point value of a nigiri card, it is best to play wasabi with the type of card with the highest point value.
Maki cards provides six points to the player with the most maki icon, and three points to the player with the second most maki icons. Thus, if there is a tie for the most maki icons, the players will divide the six points equally among each player with that number of maki icon. Furthermore, there are no point provided for the player with the second most maki icons if there is a tie for the most maki icons.

When playing the game, care must be taken when there are ties in any category. For instance, if a player has the most maki icon cards, they will receive more fewer points due to the tie.
Additionally, if a player has the most pudding cards, they will receive fewer points due to the tie. Furthermore, players should also take care to not overvalue dumpling cards, as there are fewer points provide for each additional dumpling card collected.
