Happy Salmon is a simple, ultra-fast, very silly card game.

There are no turns. Players call out the action shown on their cards as fast as they can. When two players have a match, they celebrate by performing the action. Actions include the classic "High 5", the unifying "Pound It", the frantic "Switcheroo", and the delightful and bizarre "Happy Salmon".

Each time a player celebrates a match, they quickly discard a card. The first person to get rid of all their cards wins.

The "FIN-tastically" unique and cute fish pouch makes Happy Salmon perfect to take to camp, vacation or if you are just traveling upstream.

I don’t believe it’s possible to properly play this game without laughing

It’s so stupid and silly that it makes people happy.

Fast and fun

This is a quick little game that will generate laughs and fun for all ages. Easy to play with young kids yet fun for the adults to enjoy too. Plays in about 3-5 minutes a round.

One of the most ridiculous game

This is the game I use to draw introverted friends out of their shell. It is a great ice-breaker.

Short, silly firecracker of a game.

Does what it does very, very well. Works with kids as young as 4 (but no younger—toddlers will be trampled in the chaos, and you don't want that on your conscience)

Good service

Very good service and shipping very fast.

Great trick taker

Love the theme and mechanic.

Brilliant introduction to deck building

My 6-year-old daughter loved this game. She's requested it 4 times since we first played it last night. The first words out of her mouth this morning were "Daddy, can we play the spaceship game again?"
Everything is so streamlined and easy to understand for kids. There is no text on the cards, just symbols. Everything is really clear (either get a coin, do a damage, heal some damage, or draw a card). Immediately my daughter understood the idea of buying cards from the same "team" so that they would work together. She plans ahead and buys cards that she needs to build up on her strategy. The art is cute and appealing. There is so much to love about this simple, relatively inexpensive game.
When I introduced this game, I explained that it is called a Deck building game because we build up our decks with more powerful cards, and I pointed out that there are lots of OTHER deck building games we can try later, ones with superheroes (Marvel Legendary), Star Wars (SW Deckbuilding Game), and Lord of the Rings (LOTR Deckbuilding Game). Halfway through our first game, my daughter said "I love this game. I think this might be my new favourite kind of game." I'm certainly looking forward to exploring more deck building games with her soon, but for now this is providing us with everything we need to consistently have a great time.
