How play unfolds

On each turn, you play a card that matches or equals cards on the table to grow your pile. If you spot a sweep-worthy moment, you can play a ZAP! to take all visible cards. If you clear the table without a ZAP, shout “SNARKAS!” to earn a precious gem—an emblem of progress toward victory.

Snarkas balances strategy with celebratory moments. It’s quick to learn, so new players join the action fast, and its compact design makes it easy to pack for trips or sleepovers. Durable cardstock and gleaming gems add tactile appeal and longevity.

Perfect for different settings

Use Snarkas during family game nights, classroom breaks, or road trips. Typical rounds run about 15–30 minutes, allowing several games per session or a relaxed finale with friends.

Quality you can see and feel

Beyond the gameplay, the components are designed for daily use—vibrant card art, reflective foil gems, and premium metallic bonus cards create a vibrant, repeatable experience you’ll reach for again and again.
