When you hear of a game called Salmon Run, you might think it's about the treacherous and long journey that Salmon make every year, upriver, to return to their spawning pond and have more Salmon babies. Congratulations, you'd be exactly right. Salmon Run is a race for 2-4 (or sometimes 5) players up the river, over waterfalls, around rocks, and all of this while avoiding bears, eagles, and the occasionally rough current.
