====Alternative rules====

Other commonly accepted rules include:
*If the card laid is identical in rank to the one beneath it, all players snap.<ref name="fgb">{{cite web | url=https://www.fgbradleys.com/rules/rules4/Irish%20Snap%20-%20rules.pdf | title=Irish Snap}}</ref>
*If the card laid is a queen, all players snap.<ref name="fgb"/>
*If a seven (or another rank of card agreed upon by all players) is laid, the ranks are no longer counted out loud and players must keep track of them in their head. This may continue until the same card is laid again and nullifies the rule.
*Players snap a set of cards which increase or decrease by one rank every card. For example: 5,6,7 or 8,7,6.
*Players snap "sandwiches", two matching cards with any card in between them, such as 5,7,5 or Jack,3,Jack.
*Players must salute before making a snap which will land on a king
*When a player runs out of cards, they continue to call numbers.<ref name="fgb"/> However, any potential snaps this causes may be snapped before they have said the relevant card rank. This is particularly interesting when neighboring players run out of cards simultaneously.
*If a player snaps incorrectly when there is not actually any kind of matching pair, they receive all of the cards. However, in order for this to come into effect the player must touch the deck in the middle. If they simply shout snap, or motion towards it, the game carries on as normal.
*Any player who snaps fastest twice in a row may add another rule.
*A player who runs out of cards and snaps fastest is declared the winner.

Irish Snap can also be played as a drinking game, where a player must also take a drink when they take the pile of cards.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Did You Know- Irish Snap can be played as a drinking game |url=https://playwithrules.com/slap-jack-rules-how-to-play-setup-2-3-4-players/ |url-status=live |website=www.playwithrules.com}}</ref>
