The game itself is a simple. Six decks of cards are provided in a foam ‘pencil case’ style fish. Apart from the colour on the back these six decks are identical. Each player stands up, takes a deck and shuffles it. Then on the count of three everyone turns over their first card.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are four different types of card - high 5, pound it, switcheroo, and happy salmon. Each is an action you need to take with someone else who has the same card showing. To find out who has you immediately start shouting the name of your card. When you realise someone else in doing the same thing you both perform the action and dump the card on the floor. Turn over your next card and go again. You can also skip a card to the bottom of your deck if you feel no one else is shouting the same thing as you. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first player to empty their hand wins! The cards are more like plastic and incredibly durable which is great as you will be slinging them around in a bid to be the quickest. They are also illustrated in a fun way that fits the chaos of the game. If you combine the base pack with the Blue pack you will have 12 different coloured decks for ultimate pandemonium!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe gameplay itself is simple enough for anyone to join and so much fun they will want too. It’s a short burst of energy and madness and the worst bit by far is picking up the cards at the end. But you will do it, because you want to play again!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlayer Count: 3-6\u003cbr\u003e\nTime: 2 Minutes\u003cbr\u003e\nAge: 6+\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"North Star Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56050086314362,"sku":"TCS-SALMON_BLUE","price":11.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0916\/9970\/8282\/files\/Happy-Salmon-Blue.jpg?v=1760984741"},{"product_id":"happy-salmon","title":"Happy Salmon","description":"\u003cp\u003eIf you don't want to own a party game that comes packaged inside a fish then I'm not sure what you do want out of life, hopefully learning more about Happy Salmon will convince you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHappy Salmon, published by North Star games and designed by Ken Gruhl and Quentin Weir, is a super simple to learn frenetic, family party game for three to six players.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Happy Salmon, everyone stands in a circle and each player starts with a set of 12 action cards. The aim of the game is to discard all of your cards by matching the action with one of the other players. How do you do this? Well, when somebody says go, all players look at their deck and start shouting out the action that's shown on the card and listening out for another player also shouting out that action.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce you find a match you carry out the action with each other and discard the card. The four actions are: High Five, Pound It (fist bump), Switcheroo (change places), Happy salmon (slap each other's forearm like a fish tail). The first person to get rid of all their cards wins. It's a quick game, so why not play best of three rounds?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHappy Salmon is accessible too, North Star Games have included alternative rules for people with mobility issues and people who want to keep things quiet. The of the game allows you to combine with the green version for up to 12 players, for twice the chaos.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tiny size of the Happy Salmon pouch means you can take it with you anywhere, and it can be taught to anyone in a matter of moments. As a result it is ideal for pulling out at parties, conventions, shopping arcades, lifts, libraries, waiting rooms, or lazy Friday afternoons in the office.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDue to how it plays, it suits itself to more players, and a time and place where you can move around and be noisy and silly.
