Description

Listed on the box as World s Liveliest Family Game & A Game of Action Snatch is almost identical to the traditional card game Spoons. It uses a deck of 40 cards with 4 each of 1 through 10 and a set of wooden dowels to replace the spoons. There are two notable differences between it and Spoons. In scoring the player caught out gets a letter marked against then, first the letter S then N and so on the game ends when one player goes out having spelled SNATCH, the winner being the player with the fewest letters. The second difference is that a greater number of sets are used in play compared to the number of players. 3 players 5 sets, 4 players 7 set and for the rest it also uses 3 more sets than players.
