Happy Salmon

Description

Happy Salmon is a fast-paced, energetic party game published by Exploding Kittens. Designed for 3–8 players, it’s suitable for ages 6 and up and takes only about 90 seconds to play per round — but the fun often continues for much longer!

The game is all about speed, communication, and silliness. Players simultaneously shout actions, find partners, and perform goofy hand gestures as fast as they can. It’s chaotic, hilarious, and perfect for breaking the ice in groups or family gatherings.

🕹️ How to Play (Brief Overview)

1. Setup

   • Each player gets a deck of 12 cards (with 4 actions repeated 3 times):

     • High 5 🖐️

     • Pound It 👊

     • Switcheroo 🔄

     • Happy Salmon 🐟

2. Gameplay

   • Everyone starts flipping through their deck at the same time, shouting the action on their top card (e.g., “High 5!”).

   • When two players have matching actions, they perform it together (like giving a high five) and then discard that card.

3. Winning the Game

   • The first player to get rid of all their cards wins!

   • Then everyone laughs, resets, and usually plays again immediately.
