Hoppy Salmon (EN)

Find a partner, perform a silly action and race to clear your cards. Hoppy Salmon turns the energetic matching play of Happy Salmon into an Easter-themed party game that gets everyone moving at once.

Each player has a stack of action cards. Reveal the top card, call out the action and find somebody showing a matching one. Complete that action together, discard your cards and immediately look for a partner for the next card. The first player to get through the entire stack wins.

There are no long turns or quiet stretches. Players call, scan the room and switch partners rapidly, so everyone shares the same burst of energy. Paying attention to other voices and adapting quickly helps, but the best moments often arrive when two people finally notice they have been looking for one another.

Hoppy Salmon is a lively choice for families, children and mixed groups who want a physical break between seated games. Its extremely short published play time makes repeat rounds natural. Set out enough space for players to move and enjoy the playful commotion as cards disappear from every stack.
