About this game

Skip the Salad is a trick-taking card game where dodging is winning. Take too many tomatoes, and they pile up against you. Dodge them all, and the round goes your way.

The rules are easy enough to teach in one round, but the strategy goes deeper than it looks. Void out your bad suits, count your opponents, and decide when to take a swing at the Blue Cheese Moon, the all-or-nothing play that flips the score on its head. Bring up to seven friends to the kitchen table for pass-and-play, take on a smart AI when you're solo, or jump online and challenge anyone with a friend code.

WHAT'S INSIDE
• Single player vs. three AI difficulties (Easy, Medium, Hard)
• Pass-and-play for 4 to 8 players on one device
• Online multiplayer with friend codes, presence, and emotes
• Optional Extra Toppings that change the rules in fun ways: Spicy Pepper, Salad Dressing, Cornucopia, and more
• Multiple round types so no two games feel the same
• Friends, leaderboards, and achievements
• Choose your chef avatar
• Bright, family-friendly veggie art

HOW IT PLAYS
On every trick, follow suit if you can. Win a trick with tomatoes in it, and they count against you. Want to come out on top? Lose the bad tricks, ditch the cards you can't win with, and watch what your opponents are doing.

Switch on the optional Toppings for variety. A single rule twist changes the whole shape of the game. Rotten Tomato makes getting tomatoes even more dangerous; the Spicy Pepper makes a chosen suit more dangerous and gives the trailing player a quiet boost; and Pass the Veggies lets you offload your two worst cards to someone else.

PERFECT FOR
• Card game fans who love Hearts, Spades, and Wizard
• Families looking for a quick game that everyone can learn in one round
• Long flights, hotel rooms, road trips, kitchen tables
• Online play with cousins, parents, or college roommates

Skip the Salad started life as a printed deck on our own kitchen table. The digital edition keeps that family-table feel, with a thoughtful AI for solo play and quick online matches when you want company. No real-money gambling, no inappropriate content, no ad walls.
