Calling a board game a 'point salad' might be an insult, but the fun new board game Point Salad turns that on its head. Read our review.
. To me, a point salad scoring system can either mean lazy design—here, do all the things, we’ll give you points no matter what, and don’t worry about long-range strategy—or a lack of editing, where someone might tell the designer to pull back on the reins.showed up at my house a few weeks ago, my immediate reaction was “oh hell no,” figuring this might be a game that was proud of its salady nature.
You’ll split the deck into three piles, and then draw the top two cards from each to create a 2×3 tableau of vegetable cards from which players can choose. The piles are then placed above the columns, with their point side facing up. On your turn, you can either take any two vegetables from the grid , or you can take a single point card from the top of any pile. If you take a vegetable card, it stays that way for the remainder of the game.
The cards move and flip so frequently that you can’t always get what you want—although in my experience, you do indeed sometimes get what you need. You can certainly end up fighting over specific vegetable cards in a two-player game, but with more players there are enough cards of each vegetable type that you’ll usually be able to get at least two of the kind you’re collecting.
Games take as little as ten minutes for two players and is extremely quick to learn; if you get to play with someone who’s played before, the best way to learn the game is to just play it, as the rhythm of the scoring is much easier to pick up through practice rather than through reading the rulebook .
