<p>This is correct.</p>
<p>The wasabi and nigiri do not have to be consecutive cards, as long as there has been an unused wasabi played prior to the nigiri, they are (and must be) combined.</p>

<p>In Sushi Go, what are the restrictions when playing Wasabi and Nigiri?</p>
<p>As I understand it;</p>
<ul>
<li>Wasabi is played</li>
<li>Next Nigiri goes on top and has value tripled</li>
<li>Nigiri does not have to be the next card</li>
</ul>
<p>Is that right?</p>

(Asked by: username_0 on 2022-01-25)

In Sushi Go, what are the restrictions when playing Wasabi and Nigiri?

As I understand it;

* Wasabi is played
* Next Nigiri goes on top and has value tripled
* Nigiri does not have to be the next card

Is that right?

This is correct.

The wasabi and nigiri do not have to be consecutive cards, as long as there has been an unused wasabi played prior to the nigiri, they are (and must be) combined.

Your assertion is right. In order to use a wasabi, it must be played before the nigiri card. Any number of other cards can be played in between. Once you play a nigiri card, it uses one open wasabi card in front of you.
