Exploding Kittens Happy Salmon, 3-8 Players, Ages 6+ Group Card Game

Absolutely love this game - so simple and great for a family (6 and 8 year old). Tbh i think this would be quite funny with adults only too. Super game!

This game is fun! My boys (6,7,9) loved it from the very first turn, and adults find it fun too. The games are quick, and good for a giggle. One small criticism is that the box is larger for a box of cards, I’d prefer it to be more travel friendly.

This fun, family party game is so much fun to play. It's simple to learn and simple to play meaning your brain doesn't have to work hard. It's in a small portable box meaning you can take it anywhere. You can take this entertaining game on holiday or anywhere. Me and my family love playing this game it really makes us laugh and sometimes even get our steps in with some of the things you have to do. It's worth every penny because we play it all the time. And always suggest playing it. The aim of the game is the first to get rid of your stack of cards. There are lots of different stacks of cards that are each a different bright colour. Which means lots of players can play this fun and exciting game.

I bought this for my grandchildren aged 5-11 years to play at a party, it’s an easy game that’s lots of fun for any age, up to 8 people can play the rules are simple and you can start playing quickly, it’s fast paced and fun, they love it

Such a fun game, good family fun or just for adults too, really funny

Fantastic game for any age. We take ours to restaurants to play between ordering food and it arriving, keeps the younger ones from doom scrolling. I have bought a few of these now as I keep giving them to people that come over and ask what we are playing.

Such a fun game, for all ages. A really good game to bring laughter to a room, and make your heart race.

We bought this to try and entertain our 6 year old boy when we went out for pub lunches etc. It’s fine as a game but you have to shout which doesn’t really work in a public place…

Un juego muy dinámico e interactivo. Muy recomendado para activar la fiesta.

Happy Salmon by Exploding Kittens is an "outstanding" choice for families and parties. It’s a fast-paced, highly physical card game that can be learned in seconds, making it one of the most accessible "icebreaker" games for all ages. Gameplay and Experience High Speed: Rounds last roughly 90 seconds. There are no turns; everyone plays simultaneously, shouting out the actions on their cards to find a matching partner. Physical Fun: Players perform actions like "High Five," "Pound It," "Switcheroo," and the signature "Happy Salmon" (forearm slapping) to discard their hand. Universal Appeal: With an age rating of 6+ and support for 3 to 8 players, it works equally well for a children's birthday party or an adult game night. Portable: The game comes in a small, durable box (and formerly a iconic fish-shaped pouch), making it the perfect travel companion. Why It’s "FUN" The joy of Happy Salmon comes from the intentional chaos. It forces players to move, interact, and shout, which quickly breaks down social barriers. It's "super effective" at getting people to laugh and engage with each other immediately. Final Verdict If you are looking for a deep strategy game, this isn't it. But if you want pure, unadulterated energy and a game that "works every time" to liven up a room, Happy Salmon is a must-have.

Echt een leuk spel om te spelen, zelfs onze dochters van 5 en 8 vinden het geweldig en spelen het met vriendinnetjes.

Ich bin absolut begeistert von Happy Salmon! Das Spielprinzip ist genial einfach und macht einfach mega viel Spaß. Zum Spielablauf: Jeder Spieler bekommt einen identischen Stapel mit 12 Karten. Auf den Karten sind vier verschiedene Aktionen abgebildet: Hai-Five (High Five), Fisch-Faust (Fist Bump), Schnelle Forelle (Platzwechsel) und Lustiger Lachs (die lustige Lachs-Armbewegung). Alle drehen gleichzeitig ihren Stapel um und versuchen, einen Mitspieler mit der gleichen Karte zu finden, um die Aktion gemeinsam auszuführen. Sobald man jemanden gefunden hat, macht man die Aktion zusammen und beide werfen ihre Karten ab. Dann geht's sofort mit der nächsten Karte weiter. Wer zuerst alle Karten los ist, gewinnt! Warum macht das so viel Spaß? Erstens ist es herrlich chaotisch - alle schreien gleichzeitig ihre Aktionen, suchen hektisch nach Partnern und man kommt sich dabei herrlich albern vor. Zweitens sind die Runden super kurz (bei uns meist unter einer Minute), sodass man direkt nochmal spielen will. Drittens ist es ein echter Eisbrecher: Selbst neue Gruppen tauen sofort auf, weil man sich einfach nicht ernst nehmen kann beim Spielen. Und viertens: Es ist tatsächlich auch noch Bewegung dabei - nach mehreren Runden merkt man das! Perfekt für Parties, Familientreffen oder als Aufwärmer vor anderen Spielen. Die Regeln sind in 30 Sekunden erklärt und es funktioniert mit 3-6 Spielern (oder mehr, wenn man mehrere Sets kombiniert). Absolute Kaufempfehlung!

Questo gioco di società è stata una sorpresa assolutamente positiva! È davvero semplice da imparare, tanto che abbiamo iniziato a giocare dopo pochi minuti senza doverci perdere in lunghe spiegazioni. È perfetto per serate in famiglia o con gli amici, perché riesce a coinvolgere tutti, anche chi di solito non ama i giochi di società. La cosa migliore è sicuramente il livello di divertimento: risate assicurate dall’inizio alla fine, soprattutto grazie a qualche situazione imprevedibile che si crea durante il gioco. Non c’è bisogno di essere particolarmente strategici, ed è proprio questo che lo rende così leggero e rilassante. I turni sono veloci, quindi nessuno rimane troppo tempo fermo a guardare, e questo lo rende ideale anche per i più impazienti. Materiali di buona qualità, le carte e i componenti resistono bene anche dopo diverse partite. Se devo trovare un difetto, forse alla lunga potrebbe risultare un po’ ripetitivo, ma per ora lo stiamo adorando e non ci stanca mai. Lo consiglio assolutamente per chi cerca qualcosa di semplice, immediato e super divertente!
