===Snap=== {{seemain|Snap (card game)}} [[File:Pile of playing cards.jpg|thumb|In the game of Snap, two identical numbers dealt in a row is a "snap"]] Snap is a popular children's [[card game]] where cards are dealt out and the object is to react first when a pair of same-value cards are revealed.<ref>[http://boardgames.about.com/od/cardgames/a/snap.htm Snap - Card Game Rules]</ref> Gameplay is related to [[Egyptian Ratscrew]]. The game is often one of the first card games to be taught to children and is often played with special packs of cards featuring popular children's characters from television programmes or recent films. For older children, more complex packs exist, where the differences between cards are more subtle and penalties exist for falsely calling ''Snap''. The pack of cards is dealt out among the players in face-down stacks as equally as possible. Play proceeds with the players taking it in turns to remove a card from the top of their stack and place it face-up on a pile in front of them.<ref name="pagatsnap">{{cite web |title=Rules of Card Games: Snap |url=https://www.pagat.com/war/snap.html |website=www.pagat.com}}</ref> If two cards on the tops of any of these piles are ever identical (or, if a conventional pack of cards is used, are of the same number), the first player to shout "Snap!" takes both face-up piles and adds them to the bottom of their own stack. The player who accumulates all the cards wins. In a variation, better suited to younger children, cards are played onto a single shared stack, and players call "snap!" if two consecutive cards on this pile are identical.<ref name="pagatsnap"/>
