Happy Salmon Quick Card Action Party Game

Happy Salmon by Exploding Kittens is a 90-second card game where players race to match action prompts with other players, executing high-fives, fist bumps, switcheroos, and the namesake Happy Salmon greeting. The game ships with simple cards that prompt one of four actions, and players have to find another player whose card matches before completing the action and discarding both cards. The format runs fast, loud, and physical, which makes Happy Salmon stand out from the standard card-game-night fare, from Exploding Kittens.

• For 3-8 Players
• Recommended for ages 6+ Years
• 90-second action-matching card game

Game-night hosts looking for a quick filler that gets a group moving and laughing will find Happy Salmon hits the mark in under two minutes per round, and parents running a kid party will get a game that uses physical energy productively rather than just sitting kids around a table. The 6-and-up rating also makes the game accessible to younger kids who can keep up with the action prompts without needing strategic depth. Happy Salmon also tends to be a strong birthday-party pick because the physical-action format keeps kids moving rather than sitting at a table, which matches the energy levels at most kid gatherings. The card art and packaging also stand out on retail shelves, which makes the game easy to spot in a crowded party-game aisle. The compact size also slips into a backpack for travel.
