The Box & cards:
Yes Papa games have developed a strong reinforced card box for the game that adds to the face value of the game. The Cards themselves are smooth and can be easily shuffled with or without the card shuffler.
The cards have six types of vegetables with different point markers on the flip side. The dual playability of the cards ensures a varied gameplay for the players.
The Game:
Point Salad is a great party game. All cards of the players are on the table, so there is nothing secretive. Rather, the players should be able to make choices to keep their score cards high. It is a light, enjoyable game where the players are focussed on completing their play instead of spoiling other’s game. That happens by itself because of the gameplay.
The number of cards for a game differs according to the number of players. This makes the setup of the game tiresome, as the cards require a thorough shuffle, which is made easier by a card shuffler but is not always possible realistically.
Final Words:
The game is a tea-time game from start to finish. Despite some minor shuffling issues, it is simple to set up and enjoy till the end.
It is a fun game which ends with no hard feelings amongst the players. After all, it’s just a salad!
Happy SHUFFLING!
