Woodland Snap

Children's card game

Woodland Snap is a version of the classic children's game Snap, with woodland animals as the characters. It uses a proprietary pack with 11 animal characters and 4 of each card. The game was first published in 1960 by Pepys Games and the illustrations were drawn by children's author and artist Racey Helps (1913-70). The cards started off as basic black and white drawings, but over fifty years they have developed into colour.[1]

Playing

The game follows the normal rules of Snap, but in addition the pack contains guidance on etiquette and rules for more advanced games.[1]

Characters

There are eleven characters in the game:[1]

  • Humphry Goggle - the male toad
  • Mrs. Croak - the female toad
  • Barnaby Littlemouse - the male mouse
