Players in a poker game act in turn, in clockwise rotation (acting out of turn can negatively affect other players). When it is a player's turn to act, the first verbal declaration or action they take binds them to their choice of action; this rule prevents a player from changing their action after seeing how other players react to their initial, verbal action.

Poker Terms and Abbreviations Glossary If you're new to poker, listening to more experienced players talk about the game might make you think they're speaking a different language.

Snap is a popular card game in which players deal cards and react quickly to spot pairs of cards of the same rank. Cards are either dealt into separate piles around the table, one per player, or (particularly when played with young children) into a single shared pile.
Gameplay is related to Egyptian Ratscrew. In China, Snap usually refers to the game Slapjack.

The game[edit]
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 alongside it.[1] 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.
A 'snap pool' is created from matching stacks if two players shout 'Snap!' at the exact same time, or from a player's own stack if they shout 'Snap!' in error.[1] Players can shout 'Snap pool!' instead of 'Snap!' if the matching cards also match the pool, and may take the pool for doing so. (If multiple players call 'snap pool', the newly matching cards are also added to the pool.)[2]
Variations[edit]
Cards can be played onto a single shared stack, and players call 'snap!' if two consecutive cards on this pile are identical.[1] This makes the game easier for younger children. In this version, players may race to call 'snap' while slapping the central pile, making the game similar to Slapjack.[1]
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.
In popular culture[edit]
In J. K. Rowling's Harry Potter novels, including Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Harry and his friends sometimes play a game called 'Exploding Snap', in which some of the cards will explode at random during the game.
In the Goon Show, Eccles will yell 'snap', sometimes during a poker game or while on the telephone.
In other cultures[edit]
In Germany and Austria, the game is known as Schnipp-Schnapp or Spitz, pass auf![3]
