🎲 Point Salad (2019) 🤓 Molly Johnson, Robert Melvin, Shawn Stankewich 🏭 Alderac Entertainment Group (AEG) . 📝Spark Notes: ⚡️Salad building ⚡️Card drafting, set collection ⚡️Choose recipes, collect ingredients . 💼Brief Review: 🟢Small and portable 🟢Unique and enjoyable theme 🟢Very easy to teach and to learn 🟢Super light-weight yet strategic 🟢There’s no one dominate strategy 🟢Fast pace keeps the game exciting 🌕Low variety in options can feel unrewarding . 🎬Final Take: Point Salad is a small game that packs a big punch. Simply just a deck of cards with vegetables on one side and recipes on the other, the ever-changing vegetable market creates a playful challenge on the card-drafting genre. The recipe cards tell you how to score points (i.e. 1 pepper + 1 carrot = 5 points), and the vegetable cards allow you to fulfill those recipes. On your turn you’ll take one of three recipes, or two of six vegetables from the market, replace the taken cards with new ones, then the next player will do the same. By the time it’s your turn again the vegetables you were hoping for might be gone, or new opportunities may have arisen, and the game is played until all cards are drafted. After three rounds of doing so, players add up their total points to determine the victor. Point Salad really shines in its accessibility, portability, pace, and variability. It may turn off gamers who want more depth of strategy and variety of options. For me, this is the perfect travel game or filler between heavier games.

This game is really fun. Pretty simple for most people, but for those who it isn’t, they pick it up within a game. Awesome design, high quality cards, and it has been a staple for me and my wife to play. Introduced it to family and they love it. Fast paced game since you use the number of cards based off of the number of players you have.

This card game blew us away when we got it. It sounded fun and it lived up to every bit of that. The game has a very unique element where you choose your own ways to score, and can change this at any time in the game. It is a drafting game, where you will either draft a card that offers a way to score, or you will draft cards that satisfy your' scoring needs. And the real kicker is that those scoring cards will turn into resource cards as the game goes. So your' choices and options may change each turn. The quality of the game is very good. It is merely a deck of cards, which are high quality and will last. The game is easy to learn and get going. We are full time RVers, and so we really love small box games that are fun for 2, and this ticks all of our boxes. It does scale well to more players, however. I highly recommend this game. I can't even think of one negative. it is even priced well. Especially for the amount of fun you will have playing it.

What I love The rules take less than a minute to explain. Every card being double-sided keeps choices interesting. It scales well from two players all the way to six. Games really do stay in the 15–20 minute range. Great as a warm-up, cool-down, or casual night filler. You can teach it to mixed groups without effort. The randomness keeps every round feeling different. Card quality and printing are solid. What I like less Luck can swing the scoring depending on what flips. It’s very light — don’t expect deep strategy. At higher player counts, cards you want disappear fast. Summary A simple, fast drafting game that works in almost any setting. If you want something easy to table, easy to teach, and consistently fun without heavy thinking, Point Salad is a reliable pick.

It's a pretty decent lightweight game. Easy to learn, slightly strategic, fairly random/ luck based as well. Plays quick enough, and easy for a new player.

The term Point Salad is used in the board gaming genre when a game has many ways to score points. POINT SALAD takes this term to the extreme. Each different card represents a different way to score points. In a full 6 player game, that's 108 different ways! The gameplay is very simple. Each card has a point side and an ingredient side. The point side shows a way to collect points with the various ingredients you collect. There are 6 different ingredients, and they are very identifiable. You start the game with three even stacks of cards point-side up, and six cards below them in the market. Each turn you can either take a point card or take two ingredient cards. Simple enough. You can also flip already collected point cards to their ingredient side (but not vice versa). The game goes until the cards are all claimed, then points are tabulated. Several nice things about this game. First, it scales well. From 2 to 6, all you have to do is remove a random amount of each ingredient card to make up the initial card pool. Secondly, there is just the right amount of luck vs. strategy. You can always see what a point card will become when it gets flipped into the market, so you can try to hinder your neighbors. I find this game to be a very good, quick game to break out on gaming nights, and fun for gamers and non-gamers alike.

Colorful, eye-catching card game that will not only be fun for the family/friends, but also teach basic math skills of addition, subtractions, multiplication and even negative numbers. We play this with our grandchildren - ages 11, 10, and 8. It's interesting to what them strategize which point cards to collect and what "salad items" they want to pick up. And, although the game isn't over, they are continually adding up their points to see what they have as we play the game. Although played with cards, the playing area can change rapidly, depending on what cards the players before you choose. Would not be a game for in-the-car-while-travelling, since it is a card game and you need room to spread your cards out. But, the small sturdy box in which the cards and directions are in would travel well to be played once you got to your destination. Easy to follow directions. Family favorite and highly recommend.

Great game. As soon as you think you've found "the strategy" to win, you find an even better one haha. Very well balanced game, would recommend to everyone

This has completely replaced Sushi Go. Excellent light card drafting game.
