Last week we reviewed one of our favorite board games in the last couple years – Abyss.

Abyss was published in 2014 by Bombyx and immediately got a lot a buzz in the board game realms. Some of the buzz was about the game play. But most of the buzz was about the evocative artwork.
After taking a closer look, I added it to my ‘want to play’ list and anxiously awaited a chance to play it.

“Hey, how about we play The Game?”
“What game?”
“The Game?”
“Which game?”
“The Game!!”
“What are you talking about?”
If that sounds a lot like the Abbott and Costello gag about “Who’s on first?“, you’re not mistaken.
Naming aside, The Game is actually a pretty fun, light cooperative card game that’s great for families.

All the shouting, running around, and slapping of people playing Happy Salmon at the North Star Games booth at Gen Con 2016 easily caught my attention.
It’s a party-style game that has a way of pulling people in with its active and quick play.
In fact, reading our review of Happy Salmon may take longer than playing a game of Happy Salmon.
