Sea Salt & Paper

Game ID: GID0279572
Collection Status
Description

During your turn, you assemble your hand, maybe place cards for their effect, and decide if you want to end the round. But do you think you are the one with the most points in hand?
You will have to choose: stop the round immediately or give the others an extra turn to try to extend the gap? Is it worth taking the risk?
The game ends when you reach 30/35/40 points (4/3/2 players).

The excitement of ending the round to catch your opponents off guard

The pleasure of playing your effect cards and making combos

It's a set collection card game like Rummy. The origami created especially for the game is just the illustrations on the cards.
