Exploding Kittens puts Easter twist on Happy Salmon with Hoppy Salmon
Exploding Kittens is putting an Easter twist one of its popular games in Hoppy Salmon.
An adaptation of Happy Salmon, Hoppy Salmon features new Easter-themed actions – like Egg Spin – and higher-quality cards.
In the game, each player gets a stack of cards with a simple action that requires a partner. Players frantically shout their actions to find a partner, and the pair must complete the action before discarding. The first player to finish the actions in all their cards wins the game.
Hoppy Salmon is available exclusively at Target from February 18th.
