Should no player have either a court card or a ten, the player next to
the dealer scores the point for the game. If only one trump should be
out, it counts both High and Low to the player who first has it. The
first great thing in this game is to try and win the jack; next you
must try and make the tens; and you must also try and win the tricks.

SNAP

The pack of cards is dealt round, face downward, and each player packs
his cards together, without looking at them, and then places them in
front of him.

The first player then turns up the top card of his pack, the next does
the same, and so on in turn; but, as soon as a player turns up a card
corresponding in number to the one already lying, uncovered, on the
table, one of the two to whom the cards belong cries, "Snap."

Whichever succeeds in saying it first takes, not only the snap card of
the other player, but all the cards he has already turned up, and also
those he has himself turned up. The cards he wins must be placed at
the bottom of his own pack.

The one who succeeds in winning all the cards wins the game. It
is necessary to be very attentive and very quick if you want to be
successful at this game.

There is a game very similar to the above called "Animal Snap." Each
