In SUMO, you try to use card play to push your opponent from the game.<\/p>\n
To set up, place the sumo wrestlers card in the center of the sumo ring. (The sumo ring has only three positions: left, center, and right.) One player sits on the left of the ring, the other on the right. Deal each player a hand of eight cards from a deck that contains 20 cards: 1-5 in four suits.<\/p>\n
Each player plays and reveals a card, with the high card playing first in the first trick; if the cards are tied, repeat this action until one player wins or all eight cards have been revealed, in which case you shuffle and re-deal.<\/p>\n
The first player plays a card, then the other player must follow suit, if possible. If the second player is off suit, the first player wins; if not, whoever played the higher card wins. In either case, the winner pushes the sumo wrestlers card away from them, then leads to the next trick.<\/p>\n
If the sumo wrestlers are ever pushed out of the ring, the pusher wins the game. If this doesn’t happen, the winner of the final trick wins the game. However, a player can win earlier through one of three “sumo moves”:<\/p>\n
Abise-taoshi: Crushing the opponent with your weight, which in game terms means playing a 4 in the same color after a lead 1.
\n Hikiotoshi: Using the opponent’s momentum to knock them down, which in game terms means playing a 1 in the same color after a lead 5.
\n Wucchari: Throwing your opponent out of the ring, which happens should you play an off-color 2 when the sumo wrestlers card is on the edge of the ring near you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":64983,"template":"","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"ngg_post_thumbnail":0},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[578],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-64982","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-3-card-games","8":"first","9":"outofstock","10":"sale","11":"taxable","12":"shipping-taxable","13":"purchasable","14":"product-type-simple"},"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/getyourfunon.com\/shop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/64982","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/getyourfunon.com\/shop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/getyourfunon.com\/shop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/getyourfunon.com\/shop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/64983"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/getyourfunon.com\/shop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=64982"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/getyourfunon.com\/shop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=64982"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/getyourfunon.com\/shop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=64982"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/getyourfunon.com\/shop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=64982"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
