Snap

Introduction

Every now and then there comes along a game that requires a high degree of intellect, incredible verbal skills and amazing physical abilities. This, unfortunately, is not one of those games. It is, however, a bloody good laugh!

How to Play

To begin, you need a few people sitting around a table (the more the merrier). One person is then designated as a dealer. The game begins with the dealer placing cards face up, one at a time into a pile. As the dealer places each of the cards down they call out the face value of the card. The fun begins when two cards with the same face value are placed down in a row.

When this happens, the players all lunge forward in an attempt to be the first one to "snap" their hand down on the pile of cards. Whoever can accomplish this amazing feat of speed and dexterity gets to give as many drinks as there are cards in the pile to which ever player they want. After this glorious event has occurred, the dealer clears away the old pile of cards and starts a new pile. The round ends when the dealer runs out of cards.

A new dealer should be appointed after each round. Also it is a good idea not to have the dealer be involved in trying to "snap" the cards during the round in which they are dealing.

You can add some more fun to the game by requiring that all players have their 'snap hand' behind their backs. Others call snap on two face cards of same suit in a row, or cards in either ascending or descending order.
