## Description
In Maki Master, you're a sushi chef in the middle of a hectic Friday night rush, trying to impress customers with your perfect rolls. The game blends strategy with a bit of chaos as you manage ingredients, fulfill orders, and use special actions like 'Chop!' or 'Stack!' to stand out. Kitchen space is limited, so every decision matters: should you grab a simple order for quick points or risk a masterpiece that could pay off big? And don’t forget the wasabi—it adds that extra kick to your score! With tile placement, hand management, and contracts, Maki Master is a family-friendly game with a dash of healthy competition. Claire Lin’s vibrant art and streamlined rules compared to the classic Wasabi! make it a great pick for casual players or groups who enjoy food-themed games.
