Snap

Snap is a simple picture-matching game that has been published for children and families since the late Victorian era. This theme gathers early parlour sets and one-penny imports, advertising issues from utilities and co-operatives, wartime caricatures, and licensed editions from studios, alongside modern reprints. Variants include Musical Snap, Zoological Snap, circular formats, and combined editions with Stop Thief or Snip-Snap, from makers such as De la Rue, Chad Valley, C.W. Faulkner, Spear’s, Pepys, Whitman and others. Articles focus on rules, artwork, print methods, and packaging to show how a shout-and-match mechanic travelled across decades, markets and price points.
