Bombyx | Sea Salt and Paper | Card Game | Ages 8+ | 2-4 Players | 15-30 Minutes Playing Time

This is a game that ticks all of the boxes! It is easy to learn, very strategic, aesthetically beautiful and keeps you coming back for just one more game. The art work and ‘feel’ of the cards ooze quality and the game grows as you play it more. In my opinion, it plays better with a higher player count but works just fine with two. Add the expansion for even more replayability and you have a game that will be broken out for years to come! Very impressed and highly recommend for anyone that enjoys a thoughtful deck builder.

I bought this as a present after playing it myself, lovely art work and it super travel friendly. The rules are easy to understand and you can play it with just two people. Saved us when we've been stranded in the airport!

I got this game as a stocking filler and I’m really glad I did! It’s a great little game, easy to play and I like that it’s not too big so doesn’t take up space in my house.It’s not too difficult, it’s nice and small so is perfect for taking away on holidays, and it’s just plain cute. I think it’s well made and good value for money.

easy to understand / learn, we play at 2 with my partner and we love it (but i have friends who have it and are used to play at 3/4 and love it too). games are fast, art is amazing, fun, addictive (we are doing oftenly 2 sometimes 3 games in a row), we play vanilla : we haven"t took the additional content (yet)

Very simple to learn and a really fun game. Small size means we can take anywhere. Design is simple but beautiful

Very neat little game, only the size of a regular deck of playing cards. The scoring seems complicated at first but after a couple of games it’s easy. Very fun, looking forward to taking it away on holidays. Also the artwork is lovely

We have this in our campervan and we really enjoyed playing it. It took a couple of goes to get used to it. I’m trying to remember all the cards do is a bit of a challenge.

Initially it seems complicated to go through the rules and we played a few games where we didn't quite get the end scoring right, but after that the game is really good.You have certain cards you play in twos to perform certain actions like take another turn or steal a card, and other cards that you collect for points.The STOP or LAST CHANCE rules to end a round really adds a level of intrigue as to whether to play safe or take a risk to try and earn some extra points.Great little game that works particularly well as 2 player. Also tried as 3 player was really good too. 4 Player in addition was surpisingly good last weekend. Made it more of a variety for who got stolen from when the Swimmer and Shark combo was used.There is also an expansion, with a few additional cards called Extra Salt. For me, I'm happy with the base game, but it would add a little variety. Having said that adding the new cards after extended use, would make the new cards obvious, so it you do decided to go for it then it may be good to go for with a new base game as well (gift the old set to friends).NB you may read about Card quality issues, this is with the Pandasaurus produced version, not Bombyx.
