When Joanna & I started doing regular co-op gaming, Salt was the game we started with; and while she was eventually ready to move on to other things, I never tired of it.

Bought it on a winter sale for many kids in my family plus for my brother and for myself. 6 copies for under 25EUR, first I thought it was a bargain, but turned out it's also a really hilarious game with lots of fun in multiplayer.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
7 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Other than that, the sound design provides great atmosphere and is fun and easy to play with friends.
