Sea Salt & Paper
An origami card game where you choose when to stop, and whether to dare everyone to beat you.
What it is
A fun game for 2 to 4 people, perfect for anyone who likes pressing their luck over a cup of coffee. You collect cards illustrated with folded paper art and play matching pairs for a point and a small power. Once you hit 7 points you can stop the round, or call Last Chance and give everyone one more turn to catch you. Get that call wrong and you keep little more than a color bonus.
What we love
- The Stop or Last Chance call is a real gamble, not a formality.
- Duo pairs score a point and trigger a power, such as a steal or an extra turn.
- Collect all four mermaids in a round and the game ends on the spot.
Honest trade-offs
- The duo icons are easy to misread in a first game.
- A runaway leader can close out rounds quickly.
- Bombyx lists 30 minutes, but some listings say 30 to 45, and one reviewer's games ran 30 to 40.
