Snapping Turtles

Snapping Turtles is a lively twist on Snap for up to six players, built around a numbered turtle card deck and a couple of wild “Snappy Snap” cards that keep everyone guessing. Easy to pick up, hard to put down.

The deck is split evenly and players take turns flipping cards onto a central pile. When a card matches the one before it — or a Snappy Snap card appears — it’s a snap moment. Slap the pile first to win all the cards. Run out of cards and you’re out; the player holding the most cards at the end wins.
