What Players Are Saying
“Skip the Salad is definitely one of the best card games I've played! It combines some of the best elements from my favorite games into one. My favorite part is that every game feels different because you can add special cards that can change the rules and alter the strategy. I would definitely recommend Skip the Salad to anyone who likes to have fun!”
