Setup

Based on the number of players, count out or remove the following number of each of the 6 veggie cards from the game (without looking at the point card backs):

  • 2 Players: Count out 6 of each veggie (36 total)
  • 3 Players: Count out 9 of each veggie (54 total)
  • 4 Players: Remove 6 of each veggie (72 total)
  • 5 Players: Remove 3 of each veggie (90 total)
  • 6 Players: Use the entire deck

Place any removed cards back inside the box so that players do not see which point cards have been removed. Shuffle all remaining cards and create three roughly equal draw piles with point card sides face up. Flip over two cards from each draw pile and place them in a column below the pile. This creates a veggie market below the piles. Randomly choose a start player.

Multiple Rounds!

Since Point Salad is so quick-playing, you may decide to play multiple rounds! You may keep track of scores over multiple rounds and declare a winner at the end.

Cards come in six different types of veggies, and the back of each card has a different scoring method. So for instance, one scoring method may award 2 points for every carrot you have, but deduct a point for every onion. By drafting combinations of veggies and point cards that work for your strategy, you can amass the most points and win!

Game End

The game ends when all cards from both the point card piles and veggie market have been drafted. The player with the most points is the winner!

    🎲 Point Salad (2019)🤓 Molly Johnson, Robert Melvin, Shawn Stankewich🏭 Alderac Entertainment Group (AEG).📝Spark Notes:⚡️Salad building⚡️Card drafting, set collection⚡️Choose recipes, collect ingredients.💼Brief Review:🟢Small and portable🟢Unique and enjoyable theme🟢Very easy to teach and to learn🟢Super light-weight yet strategic🟢There’s no one dominate strategy🟢Fast pace keeps the game exciting🌕Low variety in options can feel unrewarding.🎬Final Take:Point Salad is a small game that packs a big punch. Simply just a deck of cards with vegetables on one side and recipes on the other, the ever-changing vegetable market creates a playful challenge on the card-drafting genre. The recipe cards tell you how to score points (i.e. 1 pepper + 1 carrot = 5 points), and the vegetable cards allow you to fulfill those recipes. On your turn you’ll take one of three recipes, or two of six vegetables from the market, replace the taken cards with new ones, then the next player will do the same. By the time it’s your turn again the vegetables you were hoping for might be gone, or new opportunities may have arisen, and the game is played until all cards are drafted. After three rounds of doing so, players add up their total points to determine the victor. Point Salad really shines in its accessibility, portability, pace, and variability. It may turn off gamers who want more depth of strategy and variety of options. For me, this is the perfect travel game or filler between heavier games.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Fun game that will also teach basic math skills!

    Colorful, eye-catching card game that will not only be fun for the family/friends, but also teach basic math skills of addition, subtractions, multiplication and even negative numbers. We play this with our grandchildren - ages 11, 10, and 8. It's interesting to what them strategize which point cards to collect and what "salad items" they want to pick up. And, although the game isn't over, they are continually adding up their points to see what they have as we play the game. Although played with cards, the playing area can change rapidly, depending on what cards the players before you choose. Would not be a game for in-the-car-while-travelling, since it is a card game and you need room to spread your cards out. But, the small sturdy box in which the cards and directions are in would travel well to be played once you got to your destination. Easy to follow directions. Family favorite and highly recommend.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great Family game (even for carnivores)...
    Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2020

    The term Point Salad is used in the board gaming genre when a game has many ways to score points. POINT SALAD takes this term to the extreme. Each different card represents a different way to score points. In a full 6 player game, that's 108 different ways!

    The gameplay is very simple. Each card has a point side and an ingredient side. The point side shows a way to collect points with the various ingredients you collect. There are 6 different ingredients, and they are very identifiable. You start the game with three even stacks of cards point-side up, and six cards below them in the market. Each turn you can either take a point card or take two ingredient cards. Simple enough. You can also flip already collected point cards to their ingredient side (but not vice versa). The game goes until the cards are all claimed, then points are tabulated.

    Several nice things about this game. First, it scales well. From 2 to 6, all you have to do is remove a random amount of each ingredient card to make up the initial card pool. Secondly, there is just the right amount of luck vs. strategy. You can always see what a point card will become when it gets flipped into the market, so you can try to hinder your neighbors.

    I find this game to be a very good, quick game to break out on gaming nights, and fun for gamers and non-gamers alike.

    I gifted this to my niece for her 10th birthday and she enjoyed it! It took us a time or two to figure out the rules but the games are QUICK which is much appreciated. Easy to scale to players - as usual, the more players the more waiting but there are only 2 options for things to do each turn so it should be quick. Of course the Grandma's were the slowest ones because they were looking for an advanced strategy when this game is just not that hard. My 5 year old could not play alone but the 7 and 8 year old could. With practice, I think you could teach a 5 year old/kindergartener. Fun for all ages up from kids because you can decide to pursue your own victory or thwart others which always is interesting play. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

    4.0 out of 5 stars Simple but fun tableau-drafting game, with cute artwork and title
    Reviewed in the United States on December 26, 2019
    Verified Purchase
    INTRO: for those who don't know, the term "point salad" in the table gaming world refers to a game in which there are many ways to score points. Thus, to title a game Point Salad and actually make the game not only have many ways to score, but to also have a salad theme, is a bit clever. What really shines about this game is that unlike most other "point salad" games (example: most Stefan Feld games), Point Salad has a very low barrier to entry, and can be taught and learned quite easily.

    SETUP: Take the appropriate amount of cards from each of the 6 vegetable groups (18 cards each), depending on the number of players. Shuffle these together and separate into 3 roughly equal piles, score side up. Flip two from each pile to the vegetable side, making 3 columns. The resulting grid should be 3x3, with the top row consisting of 3 score cards (piles), and 2 more rows of 3 single vegetables each.

    GAMEPLAY: On your turn, you literally only have two options:
    1) Pick ("draft") one card from one of the 3 score piles.
    2) Draft any 2 vegetables from the available 6.
    That's it! Where it gets interesting is that no two score sides are the same. Some give you points per single vegetable (positive and/or negative), with multiple vegetables; some give you points per group of vegetables (2 or 3 depending), some give you end of game scoring conditions, etc. Within a couple turns everyone should have the basic gist of how to play. The strategy, though not too deep, starts to come with how you decide to choose between selecting scoring cards and vegetable cards. Play continues until there are no cards left. At the end, add/subtract points from each of your scoring cards based on which and how many vegetables you drafted. Whoever has the most wins.

    ART/QUALITY: The artwork is simple and slightly cartoonish, but very colorful and well done overall. The graphic design is great and very easy to read. My only quips are with the card quality, which is a little thin/flimsy (I fear the cards will wear out somewhat faster than other card games), and with the selection of colors and shapes, specifically for the onions and cabbage. Both of these two vegetables are pinkish/purplish in color, as well as round, and can be a little hard at first glance to distinguish the two, particularly when looking between your tableau and the drafting grid. A different color for the onions (white, perhaps?) could've solved this small issue easily. We found ourselves constantly double and triple checking between the two throughout the game. Other than that, everything played smoothly, and there is even room in the box insert for sleeving your cards if you so choose.

    OVERALL: This is a great gateway game for nongamers, and has juuuust enough dash of strategy to keep gamers involved. While it wouldn't be my first game of choice, particularly with other gamers, it is a great new game that I feel replaces other gateway games as better and even easier to learn. The artwork is very cute and colorful, making for a pleasant treat for the eyes. It is also a good game for younger people, I'd say 8+ (maybe 6 or 7 with some help), and helps not only with developing beginner strategy concepts, but also is a fun way to sharpen math skills. I recommend Point Salad if you're into:
    (a) tableau building/drafting games,
    (b) gateway games
    (c) developing strategy and/or basic math skills,
    (d) any or all of the above.
