I have played a few games from this company. Throw throw burrito is a favourite in our household, although that needs a nice spacious room with no breakables around! I wanted something simpler and thought this would be something my little one (6 year old) could enjoy. We played for the first time with family and all loved it! Ages of our group ranged from 6 – 70 and all had fun playing. We all got really excited about getting to the end of our cards and at one point three of us finished at the same time and we preceded to run and cheer around the room lol I only had to explain the rules once and we played repeatedly, each game lasted 5 minutes if that, and the setup is so easy as each persons cards have their own colours (no need to deal). My little one has played it everyday since and when there was only two of us we used his teddy bear to play as the third person lol. (Minimum of 3 players needed) It will definitely be one for christmas! My only criticism is I hope they do an expansion pack with more coloured cards for if you have a group of more than 8 people. Its a great game for all, I would highly recommend.

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!

This game is loads of fun for a larger group. It can be super noisy or super quiet, if you opt for the “silent” version. Very, very easy to play and good for all ages.

Fun for all ages
[...]A friend brought this to my 50th birthday party and we had fun playing it together. I bought this set to play with my niece (6) and nephew (4). You don’t have to be able to read and the more people playing the more fun it is. Fast paced fun, the game is over before you know it but gets your heart pumping and lots of laughter. Have recommended it to others who need card game fun for littles.

Great ice breaker at a party. Super fun and gets people out of their shell.
[...]Super fun game. Everybody that has played it with us has ordered one immediately afterward.Not a quiet game. There will be pure chaos ensuing around the kitchen table when you play this.

Fun Game!
[...]If you want chaos, this is it. Prepare to scream from the top of your lungs and have fun. Very simple to learn this game. The kids and adults all love this game. The pacing of this game is pretty quick, so everyone might get tired playing after a few rounds. Only downside is that this game doesn’t last more than an hour at best for the family. We tend to enjoy board games that stretch a bit longer in time.

Hours of Fun
[...]This game is super fast-paced, extremely loud, and is guaranteed to bring a lot of laughter to your family. Our kids are nine and 10, and we love this game! It is a super fast game, so each round might take 2 to 5 minutes. It usually errs on the side of less time. Overall, it is super simple to play, very fun, and excellent for family time!

Skip reading the review and just buy the game!
[...]Why are you reading this? Didn’t you read the headline of this review?This game rocks! My family (which includes six kids from 17 down to 7) loves this game.It is a fast-paced, frantic, chaotic, energy-filled 90 seconds of hilarious mayhem.The aim of the game is to be the first person to discard all of your cards. To do this you have to find someone with the same card and complete the action that card shows. Of course, since everyone is trying to find a person with a matching and at the same time you have to be very loud to find someone. The first time we played our 3 year old golden retriever went nuts and tried to jump on the dining table because of the ruckus we were creating! We also play a silent version where you can only communicate through motions to find someone with a matching card. Both ways are loads of fun.Being a competent reader is necessary for this game. The words on the cards aren’t difficult, but you need to be able to read them quickly in order to really play. You also need to be able to have fun in chaos and noise. If either of those drive you nuts, this is not the game for you; even the silent way to play is full of chaos.Fast gameplay (literally 90 second games sometimes), high re-playability, high energy, and lots of interaction makes Happy Salmon one of our family’s favorite games!

Fast, Hilarious, and Perfect for Team Building!
[...]Happy Salmon is hands down one of the most fun and energetic party games I’ve played! It’s perfect for all ages. I used this for my software team and you should see the adults jump right in. The game is super simple to learn, with quick 90-second rounds that keep the energy high and everyone engaged. The fast pace and physical interactions (like high-fiving or switching places) make it a fantastic icebreaker or team-building activity.We played it with a group of mixed ages and everyone was laughing the entire time. It’s the kind of game that gets everyone moving, talking, and having fun in minutes. Plus, it’s easy to pack and take to parties or gatherings. If you’re looking for a game that brings out a lot of laughs and excitement, Happy Salmon is a must-have!

Fun Quick Game for a Party
[...]Have been wanting a copy of this game to have on hand for group events. The quality of the game cards is nice, and as a small box game it is easy to toss in a tote bag and take to family gatherings, holiday parties and the like. It’s a quick game that serves as a good filler activity if there is a lull in the conversation, or as an ice breaker if the people attending the event haven’t socialized together before. Overall, this is a good value game that appeals to a range of ages, and can be learned easily. We are happy with both the value and quality of Happy Salmon.
