Hoppy Salmon Matching Card Game, 3-6 Players, Ages 6+

Happy Salmon is a super fun, quick game the entire group can enjoy playing. You can play the traditional way or play with hand motions only. It only takes about 90-120 seconds to play a round and the more people who play the better! My family loves the game and as a high school teacher I’ve even introduced my students to the game to encourage friendly competition and engagement. They absolutely LOVE the game and will ask to play it. If you’re looking for an easy, lively, and fun game for the entire family or a group to enjoy, look no further! Happy Salmon provides rounds of fun and laughter!

Happy Salmon by Exploding Kittens is an "outstanding" choice for families and parties. It’s a fast-paced, highly physical card game that can be learned in seconds, making it one of the most accessible "icebreaker" games for all ages. Gameplay and Experience High Speed: Rounds last roughly 90 seconds. There are no turns; everyone plays simultaneously, shouting out the actions on their cards to find a matching partner. Physical Fun: Players perform actions like "High Five," "Pound It," "Switcheroo," and the signature "Happy Salmon" (forearm slapping) to discard their hand. Universal Appeal: With an age rating of 6+ and support for 3 to 8 players, it works equally well for a children's birthday party or an adult game night. Portable: The game comes in a small, durable box (and formerly a iconic fish-shaped pouch), making it the perfect travel companion. Why It’s "FUN" The joy of Happy Salmon comes from the intentional chaos. It forces players to move, interact, and shout, which quickly breaks down social barriers. It's "super effective" at getting people to laugh and engage with each other immediately. Final Verdict If you are looking for a deep strategy game, this isn't it. But if you want pure, unadulterated energy and a game that "works every time" to liven up a room, Happy Salmon is a must-have.

What an amazing game. Very quick and easy to learn. Kids are 8 and 11 and picked it up quickly. Such a fun, fast-paced game and great with larger groups. It's a card game so it's very portable, you just need to decent size space and preferably a round table in the open to play with.

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!

I think this is a fun game! However none of my friends or family agree (so far.) It is a silly simple game good for getting people up on their feet and being noisy. You shout out what you want and interact with others shouting out the same thing. Serious people who like to stay in their chairs will not be impressed! It doesn't pretend to be a serious game so I gave it 4 stars. One star off because it isn't fun to play alone so has limited use. I think it could be a good ice-breaker game and I bet boisterous kids would love it.

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.

SUCH a fun game!!! It is fast-paced, fun, hilarious, and a hit with everyone who plays it! We have introduced this game to family, our teens’ friends, and adults, and everyone enjoys it! It can get rowdy and competitive, but so much fun! Great value, great design, great game! A total win for our family!

We love games. We have all the well known games but love to stumble upon one that is a little different. This game is a little chaotic which makes it perfect for kids. It involves no strategy and almost zero reading needed (could follow instructions from pictures) which is great for the 3-6 year old crew but we enjoy it just as much as adults. For the price I would definitely recommend it.

Ruskigt kul och stressigt spel. Funkar bra på tjejmiddagen eller studentfesten.

Echt een leuk spel om te spelen, zelfs onze dochters van 5 en 8 vinden het geweldig en spelen het met vriendinnetjes.

Ich bin absolut begeistert von Happy Salmon! Das Spielprinzip ist genial einfach und macht einfach mega viel Spaß. Zum Spielablauf: Jeder Spieler bekommt einen identischen Stapel mit 12 Karten. Auf den Karten sind vier verschiedene Aktionen abgebildet: Hai-Five (High Five), Fisch-Faust (Fist Bump), Schnelle Forelle (Platzwechsel) und Lustiger Lachs (die lustige Lachs-Armbewegung). Alle drehen gleichzeitig ihren Stapel um und versuchen, einen Mitspieler mit der gleichen Karte zu finden, um die Aktion gemeinsam auszuführen. Sobald man jemanden gefunden hat, macht man die Aktion zusammen und beide werfen ihre Karten ab. Dann geht's sofort mit der nächsten Karte weiter. Wer zuerst alle Karten los ist, gewinnt! Warum macht das so viel Spaß? Erstens ist es herrlich chaotisch - alle schreien gleichzeitig ihre Aktionen, suchen hektisch nach Partnern und man kommt sich dabei herrlich albern vor. Zweitens sind die Runden super kurz (bei uns meist unter einer Minute), sodass man direkt nochmal spielen will. Drittens ist es ein echter Eisbrecher: Selbst neue Gruppen tauen sofort auf, weil man sich einfach nicht ernst nehmen kann beim Spielen. Und viertens: Es ist tatsächlich auch noch Bewegung dabei - nach mehreren Runden merkt man das! Perfekt für Parties, Familientreffen oder als Aufwärmer vor anderen Spielen. Die Regeln sind in 30 Sekunden erklärt und es funktioniert mit 3-6 Spielern (oder mehr, wenn man mehrere Sets kombiniert). Absolute Kaufempfehlung!
