Snap Rules

Snap is a lightning-fast matching game. Players flip cards and race to shout "Snap!" when two of the same rank appear.

👥 2–6 players ⏱ 10–20 min 🎯 Difficulty ●○○○○ 🃏 Collecting Games

Setup

Deal the whole deck face-down into equal piles for each player.

How to Play

Players take turns flipping their top card onto a center pile. When two consecutive cards match in rank, the first player to call "Snap!" wins the pile.

Winning

The player who collects all the cards wins. Calling snap incorrectly costs you a card from your pile.
