About this game
Happy Salmon is about as close to pure joy as a card game gets: flip a card, shout its action, pound it, high five, switcheroo or the titular happy salmon, and scramble to find someone shouting the same thing so you can slap through the move together and both discard. No turns, no waiting, everyone's yelling and flapping at once until one lucky person empties their hand first. It's two minutes of glorious, sweaty chaos that somehow works for a six-year-old and a room full of adults equally well.
