About this deal

I played a couple of games on Board Game Arena the day before my physical copy arrived, and I’ve played it multiple times a day in both formats since then. It’s overtaken Love Letter as our favourite small-box (or bag) card game – although we don’t say that in front of Love Letter while it looks at us from the shelf “in case it gets too sad”. My daughter woke up at 7:30am during half term to play this – that’s how good it is. And she beat me as well. Floats in the air and fires three large spheres towards your minions, killing them instantly upon touch. The archbishop pulls out his staff, and fires a huge death ray and spins around once, instantly killing any minions that gets caught in the ray.

Some cards add additional ways to score - and in the case of the mermaids, you instantly win if you play all four. If the player has seven or more points at the end of their turn, they can end the round by saying “stop”. This ends the round immediately and all players score up the carsd they have in their tableau.Upon reaching half health, Rumata will jump down with a fiery ring forming around them that spreads. It can prove effective to hold onto gold bonus upgrades as a 'med kit' in a sense, if you've just killed every enemy in an area and have the gold bar filled up it wouldn't hurt to hold onto it to heal if you need to do so on the next areas to come.

If you have a "duo" of cards in your hand that can be played in a pair, you may play them to the table to trigger their effect: Unconventional as it may be, origami is the perfect art style for the card game. Sea Salt & Paper designers Bruno Cathala and Théo Rivière similarly manage to form a subtly complex creation out of very basic components, melding together a fairly standard game of set-collection with an intriguing risk-reward twist. The real-life origami models made for Sea Salt & Paper were visible at this year's Essen Spiel convention.Not only that, but the cards also have ColorADD symbols on each of them. ColorADD is “a universal, inclusive and non-discriminative language that enables the colourblind to identify colours”. The game comes with a couple of reference cards that show which colours relate to which symbols, making it instantly accessible to everyone. It’s also completely language independent as there’s no text on any of the cards. Fin-ishing A Round Players score points for sets of cards, but can bet they have the highest score at the end of the round to potentially earn even more. Prepare to embark on a whimsical journey through the briny deep with Sea Salt and Paper, a captivating tabletop game that combines strategy, storytelling, and nautical charm. Crafted by the creative minds at Saltwater Games, this delightful board game promises hours of entertainment for players of all ages. Dive into the salty sea breeze and let us guide you through the treasure trove that is "Sea Salt and Paper." A game for 2/3/4 players ends when somebody passes 40/35/30 points. Highest score wins, tie broken by whoever went last in the last round. 4 mermaids instantly wins the game.
