Snorta card game instructions

The first of the two players involved in the match who can make the sound of the other player's hidden animal wins that match. If a player makes the sound of the wrong animal, he or she may try to guess the right animal by continuing to make animal sounds.

There is no penalty for making the sound of the wrong animal. The player who wins the match gives all of his or her table card s to the other player involved in the match. That player takes the cards and also picks up his or her own table card s and adds both stacks of cards, face down, to the bottom of his or her cards in-hand.

Play resumes with the player to the left of the last person to play a card. All other table cards remain on the table and play continues clockwise. When a player flips over this card, the player must select a new animal from the Animal Grab Bag and return his or her old animal to the bag. Other players should try to remember the sound of that player's new animal and play continues. Each card should be flipped outward so that all players see the animal on the card at the same time, including the person who played that card.

Players can control the speed of the game by how fast they play their cards. The faster the pace-the wilder the game! Once play begins, a player is not required to reveal the animal in his or her barn-even if other players ask. However, if you would like to simplify the game, you can allow players to make any animal sound that correctly identifies the animal in the barn.

For example, a dog could be identified by "woof", "bow- wow", or "arf". If a match is missed and a third matching card is played, only the first match is allowed. Taking turns, players then flip over one card at time from their stacked pile. Whoever is able to make the correct sound first, gives their flipped over cards to the other player. If a player flips over the Swap card, the player then swaps an animal with a different one and makes a sound of the new animal which will then be used.

Sounds simple enough. But in the battle to make the first correct animal sound, it is sometimes hard to remember which animal sound to make.
