Any number can play.\n2.  The 50  cards are dealt, face down to the players.\n3.  Each player keeps his cards, without looking at them, face down in front of him.  The player on the left of the dealer starts the game by turning up his top card and placing it before him thus starting another stack.\n4.  When two cards of the same value turn up, the first player to call Snap takes both stackes of upturned card.  He places them face down under his own pack.  If a player calls Snap in error or if two call together, then their upturned cards are put into a pool in the centre.\n5.  if a card is turned up the same as the one on the top of the pool, the first to call Snap Pool takes the pool.\n6.  The player who eventually holds all the cards is the winner.\n\nFollowing the rules are details about the conversion to decimal money together with a comparison chart.\n\n\nThe basic rules for the game of SNAP.\n\nLike Happy Families, Snap cards are arranged in groups, usually two but may be more, but each card in a group bears the same picture.\nThe object of the game is to win all the cards.\n\nOne player deals out all the card, one at a time and face down.  It does not matter if some players have one card more than others.  Each player puts his cards in a pile face down in front of him and the players are not allowed to look at their cards.\nThe dealer or the player to his left turns over the top card of his pile, and the next player does likewise and so on around the players until any player sees that the cards on the top of any two face-up piles are the same.  \nThe first player to shout SNAP when there are matching cards collects both of these and puts them face down on the bottom of his pile.  Players now continue to turn the cards over as before, beginning with the player to the left of the last one to turn over.\nSNAP POOL, if two players shout `snap' together, the matching cards are put face up in a pool in the centre.  Players then continue to turn over cards, and the pool is won by the first player to shout Snap Pool when the twop card of any player's pile matches the top card in the pool.\nWhen a player runs out of face down cards he simply turns over his face up cards when it is his next turn.\nPENALTY, there are different rules for when a player calls `snap' in error:-\n1.  the player gives one card from his face down pile to each of the other players\n2.  the player's face down pile is put into the central pool to be won like an ordinary snap pool.    \n\nThe game is generally played with forfeits, and the rules are simple enough for young children to enjoy playing.  The cards are dealt equally among the players, face down and the dealer starts by turning over his or her top card to reveal an illustration.  The next player to the left does likewise and, if that card matches the first, he or she `snaps' the first player, who pays a forfeit by giving up one counter.\n\nShould the third player also have a similar card, he or she `snaps'  the second player, who then has to pay a double forfeit by giving up two counters.  The game continues until all the players but one have lost their forfeits and that remaining player is declared the winner.  The game may be played without the forefeits.\n\nEASY SNAP\nThis version is particularly suitable for very young children.  Instead of having individual face up piles, each player plays his cards into a central face up pile.  Players shout  SNAP when the top two cards are of the same value.\nSPEED SNAP\nIn this faster version of the game, players still turn their cards up one at a time but all players do so together.","briefDescription":"Card game, 'New Money Shop' by Tower Press, chromolithograph on card, England, 1968-1969","bibliographicReferences":[],"production":"","productionType":{"text":"","id":""},"contentDescription":"","contentPlaces":[],"associatedPlaces":[],"contentPerson":[],"associatedPerson":[],"contentOrganisations":[],"associatedOrganisations":[],"contentPeople":[],"associatedPeople":[],"contentEvents":[],"associatedEvents":[],"contentOthers":[],"contentConcepts":[],"contentLiteraryRefs":[],"galleryLabels":[],"partNumbers":["MISC.1274:1-1991","MISC.1274:2-1991","MISC.1274:3-1991"],"accessionNumberNum":"1274","accessionNumberPrefix":"MISC","accessionYear":1991,"otherNumbers":[],"copyNumber":"","aspects":["WHOLE","Card Game [1]","Card Game [2]","Card Game [3]"],"assets":[],"recordModificationDate":"2025-04-07","recordCreationDate":"2000-03-04","availableToBook":false}}
