RULES:
The game may be played by two or more players. One player deals out the whole pack and gives each player a Conversion Table. Players must hold their cards face downwards and not look to see which cards they hold.

1. As in Snap, the player on the left of the dealer puts down a card face upwards, followed in turn by the other players, so that each will have a pile of exposed cards in front of him. When a player has played all his cards, he must pick up his pile from the table and continue as before.

2. If the top exposed cards on any two piles are
   (a) two identical decimal currency cards (e.g. two cards both reading "25 new pence"), any player may call "SNIP";
   (b) two identical old currency cards (e.g. two cards both reading "£1"), any player may call "SNAP";
   (c) two cards expressing the same value but in different currencies (e.g. "1/-" and "5 new pence"), any player may call "SNIP SNAP".

3. If the call is correct, the player first making it picks up the two piles concerned and adds them, face downwards, to his hand. If the call is incorrect, the player making it must, before play proceeds, give to each player one card face downwards from his hand, starting with the player on his left.

4. The Dealer is Umpire; change Dealer with every game.

5. The object of the game is to collect the whole pack. A player who has no cards in his hand and none on the table is out of the game.

The Deck is complete, although it has no box.

The Deck is complete.
