Looking for a family board game that’s a bit different from the usual pack? Salubria – The Health Game is an Irish-designed card game that mixes quiz-night fun with a healthy living twist, making it a great pick for family game nights or rainy afternoons at home.
We caught up with the game’s developers, Pat Shankey and Frances O’Duffy, to find out what makes Salubria stand out.
What Is Salubria – The Health Game?
Salubria™ – The Health Game is a card game for children and adults that promotes healthy living in a fun, family-friendly way. Players are tested on their knowledge across four categories: Nutrition, Fitness, Healthy Living, and General Knowledge.
The aim of the game is to collect cards from each of the four categories by answering questions correctly, while making smart use of strategy options along the way.
Who’s It For?
Salubria is designed for adults and children aged 10 and up. It works well with just two people or two pairs, but it’s even more fun with a bigger group around the table.
What Makes It Different From Other Family Board Games?
Salubria stands out for two main reasons. First, it combines a card game with a multiple-choice quiz, giving it a different feel to typical board games. Second, rather than just being about winning, it promotes the benefits of healthy living in a way that’s interactive, straightforward, and genuinely fun for the whole family.
Why Families Like Salubria
Asked to sum up the game in five words, the developers put it simply: it could improve your health. It’s a nice reminder that family game time can be entertaining and good for you.
