About the game
What you do in a play session
Kushi Express invites you to a super fun culinary race, where the goal is to assemble Japanese BBQ skewers, the famous 'Kushi', faster than everyone else! Imagine yourself as a skilled chef, with four plastic ingredient blocks – tomato, pepper, shrimp, and beef steak – and two fabric pieces representing cheese and bacon. Each round, an order card is revealed, and then the madness begins! All players simultaneously race to replicate the ingredient pattern from the card using their components. The first to correctly assemble the Kushi and serve it on the dish wins the order card. Accumulate ten points and you'll be crowned the Kushi King! It's a game that mixes dexterity, speed, and a touch of pressure to see who has the sharpest reflexes in the kitchen. Perfect for those who enjoy friendly competition and want to test their hand agility!
