PLAYED FOR YOU

Schnapp’s!

Key ring needs to be blue!

Schnapp’s - grab! - nicely explains the main mechanism of the game; you must spot and grab the correct image tile among 96 tiles. One player is the first explainer, his left neighbor administrates the timer and his left neighbor is the first spotter. Somebody gives the signal, the timer is turned and the explainer draws the first task card. He must now as quickly as possible describe the items on the card in a way that the spotter finds the right one among the very similar images; so envelope is not sufficient, you must say air-mail envelope. The order in which the images are explained is up to the explainer, he can switch any time to another image. When the timer has run out the tiles grabbed by the spotter are checked against the images on the task card – for each correct tile explainer and spotter score one points each.

When all players have been explainers a second round with handicaps is played; the explainer must describe the images in accordance with the current handicap, e.g. “do not use more than 5 words for an image”. In the 3^rd round the roles of explainer and spotter during the previous rounds are reversed. When all players have been explainer three times, you win with the highest total score. In a version for teams there is an explainer and three spotters which must agree upon an image for a description, the rules list another team variant and also a cooperative version.

Don’t waste words, but concentrate on the details, this is the motto for this fast cute game of reaction and explanations, in which it is up to the spotter to make the fastest possible use of the explanations given.
