Description of Game:
"Point Salad is a fast and fun card drafting game for the whole family. There are over 100 ways to score points. Players may use a variety of strategies and every game of Point Salad is unique!
Cards come in six different types of veggies, and the back of each card has a different scoring method. So for instance, one scoring method may award 2 points for every carrot you have, but deduct a point for every onion. By drafting combinations of veggies and point cards that work for your strategy, you can amass the most points and win."

Teacher Tips
One box/deck can be split into two sets to allow for two groups of 3 to play (if you prefer smaller groups). However, if you are splitting decks make sure you keep track of which set came from which deck/box. If not, you will inevitable need to sort cards, which can also be insightful to how the deck is constructed!
