Point Salad review

Point Salad is a game that's been a hit in our family. It's a card drafting game with a simple premise: collect veggie cards to score points based on the "recipe" cards you also collect. What makes Point Salad so appealing is its accessibility. It's incredibly easy to learn, with only two options on each turn: pick a recipe card or grab two veggies. The scoring system is also straightforward, with points awarded based on various combinations of vegetables. I've found it to be a great way to introduce new players to the world of board games.

I especially appreciate the game's versatility. It's great for a quick game night or even a longer session, as the game length can fluctuate depending on the number of players and their strategic choices. We've even taken it along on road trips, thanks to its compact size. The art is also appealing, with bright colors and cartoonish veggies that are sure to please. While the card quality isn't quite as high as some other games, they're still sturdy enough to withstand multiple plays.

Overall, Point Salad is a fantastic game for families and groups of friends. It's a lighthearted and enjoyable experience with enough strategic depth to keep things interesting. If you're looking for a fun, accessible, and quick game, Point Salad is definitely worth checking out.
