“Snippsnapper” is based on an idea from an old card game that we know has been played in our own family for generations. But we weren't able to find a description of the same game anywhere else, so we decided to write down the rules and to make the game even better.
We have kept he original tongue-twisting spell of the game “Snipp, Snapp, Snurre, Basserulle, Korintibus” (© 2025) which has origins in Scandinavian folklore. It's a funny and at the same time difficult incantation with a non-sense meaning, engaging rhythm and filled with mystery - and it can be pronounced in most languages.
Snippsnapper is extremely quick, as there are duplicates of all cards, so you have to compete to make your card reach the table first, and it’s fun because you have to remember the magic spell and say it in the right order. It’s difficult because there are many cards on your hand that you need to manage at the same time and it’s challenging because with a little bit of skill you can control the sequence of the cards and play strategically. It is easy to learn for all age groups, and with some luck, skill and speed everyone has the same chance to be a winner.
