SLAPJACK

Slapjack is a perfect game for a rainy day to release a little energy. All that is required is the ability to distinguish a jack from the other face cards – which can be tricky for those itchy hands!

Ages: 4+

Players: 2+

Object: Collect the most cards.

Set-up:The dealer deals out all of the cards one at a time face down in a pile in front of each player. Some players may have one more card than others.

Play: Players take turns placing the top card of their pile onto the top of the center pile. Don’t peek at your cards! Slapping a Jack: When a player places a jack on the top of the pile, each player tries to be the first to put their hand on top of it. The player whose hand was first, claims the central pile of cards and shuffles these into her own cards to form a new pile. The player whose hand was first will be underneath all other players’ hands.

The player to the winner’s left continues play by placing a card face up in the center creating a new center pile.

If a player loses all of their cards, she may ‘slap-in.’ A player does this by being the first person to slap a jack.

If a player slaps a card that is not a jack, she must give her top card to the player who played the card that was slapped.

Winning: The winner is the player who wins all of the cards. For a shorter game, the winner is the player with the most cards at the end of a set time period.

SNAP

This is a fast, easy game, but you have to watch closely! Be the first to spy a match between any players’ top cards and you collect both piles!

Ages: 4+

Players: 2+

Object: Win all of the cards.

Set-up:The dealer deals out all the cards one at a time face down to form a pile in front of each player. Some players may

have one more card than others. Players are not allowed to look at their cards.

Play: The player to the dealer’s left starts first, and places her top card face up to form a pile beside her face down pile. The next player does the same, and play continues until one player sees that the cards on top of two piles have the same value. This player shouts “SNAP!”

Snap: The first player to shout ‘Snap’ collects both piles of cards and places them face down at the bottom of her face down pile.

Players continue to turn over cards starting with the player to the left of the last player who turned over a card.

Snap Pool: If two players shout ‘SNAP” at the same time, the matching piles are placed face up in the center. Players continue play, until the pool is won by the first player to shout “SNAP” when a player’s card matches the top card of the pool.

When a player runs out of cards, she turns over her face up pile and draws from this.

If a player calls “snap” in error, the player gives one card from her face down pile to each of the other players.

Winning: The player who wins all of the cards wins!
