Everyone, get ready to throw your hands in the air because Happy Salmon has made a grand return!
Exploding Kittens today relaunched the popular party game, which it recently acquired from North Star Games.
Of course, the title has been re-released with an Exploding Kittens twist, featuring completely redesigned artwork and packaging. The new look features salmon cartoons with a cheerful smile and eyes that look like the pleading eyes emoji. 🥺
“Happy Salmon can truly be played in 90 seconds from opening the box to finishing a round,” says Ken Gruhl, senior game designer at Exploding Kittens. “But you’ll find one game is not enough. It’s addicting and you’ll be playing over and over again.”
In this loud, quick, and physical game, players are each given a deck of 12 cards. Once the game starts, players flip their decks over so that only one card is visible. All players shout and look for a partner calling for one of the matching actions — a fist bump, high five, switch it up, or the Happy Salmon (which is done by two players lightly slapping each others’ forearm at the same time). Players with a match perform that action together to discard that card, and the first player to get rid of all 12 cards, wins!
Made for kids ages 6 and up, Happy Salmon is available now in select retailers nationwide and at explodingkittens.com.
