ORIGAMI RISK TABLEAU PLUS

If the instigator loses that bet, all other players score their hand and the instigator only scores the color bonus.

ORIGAMI RISK TABLEAU PLUS

If the Last Chance instigator has outscored the table, they get to score their entire total, plus a bonus score of one point per color card of the color most prevalent in their hand plus tableau. In the case of a Last Chance, all players get one more turn to maximize their scoring before all players reveal their total round score. At the end of a turn where the active player has 7+ points, they have a choice: stop the round, and allow everyone to score points right away, or push their luck by announcing “Last Chance.” Each set of two cards is worth one point, but also grants a one-time power: stealing a card from another player taking another turn right away drawing a card from the top of the deck or drawing a card from one of the discard piles. Duo cards come in suits that show an icon, like boats, fish, or crabs.Īfter adding a card to their hand, a player can then play any sets of duo cards to the table. The cards, which come in a mix of different colors, come with actions in a few varieties: set collection scoring cards known as collector cards point multipliers mermaid cards (which score points for the most of a single color in your hand) and duos. On a turn, players draw either two cards from a central deck, keeping one in their hand and discarding the other, or drawing and keeping one card from a choice of the two available discard piles. The art is the main attraction, but ultimately, we’re here to play a game with a minor element of push-your-luck as scores are tabulated at the end of each round. The game lands very well as a family activity because it plays with all ages, but it overstays its welcome just a tad thanks to its scoring mechanic.ĭesigners Bruno Cathala ( 7 Wonders Duel, Five Tribes, Kingdomino) and Théo Rivière ( The Loop, Draftosaurus) worked with origamists Lucien Derainne and Pierre-Yves Gallard to build the production behind Sea Salt & Paper.

The only art I ever built out of folded paper as a kid was a paper airplane, that would then be trampled by other kids at school when I would try to fly it out into the world.īut I always enjoyed pictures of origami-and for the first time, I played a game that featured origami: Sea Salt & Paper (2022, Bombyx), a card game with some of the coolest pictures in a game I’ve played this year.Īlthough origami is featured in the cards, Sea Salt & Paper is a simple collection game.

I never quite got the fascination with origami, the Japanese art of folding paper into decorative figures.
