Snap

Match the cards — and shout first.

👥 2–6 players · Easy difficulty

Snap is a fast-reaction matching game beloved in the UK and across Europe. Players flip cards to a central pile; when two consecutive cards match in rank, the first to shout "Snap!" wins the pile. Speed beats strategy every time.

🎯 Objective

Win all the cards by shouting "Snap!" fastest when matching cards appear.

🃏 Setup

  1. Use a standard 52-card deck. Deal all cards face-down equally.

▶ How to Play

  1. Players take turns flipping their top card face-up to a personal pile in front of them.
  2. When the face-up card on one player's pile matches the face-up card on another's pile in rank, any player may shout "Snap!"
  3. The first to shout "Snap!" wins all the cards in BOTH matching piles, adding them to the bottom of their hand.
  4. False "Snap!" calls (when cards don't match) result in giving one card to each other player.
  5. A player who runs out of cards is eliminated. Last player with cards wins.

📊 Scoring

The player who wins all cards wins the game.
