What is "snap"?

Snap is a fast-paced card game that has been popular for many years, especially among children, with roots tracing back to the 19th century in Europe. It is usually played by two or more players using a standard deck of cards. The goal is to be the first to call "snap" when two cards of the same rank are placed on the pile. Players take turns placing cards face-up in the center, and when two matching cards appear, anyone can shout "snap" to win the pile. The game continues until one player collects all the cards, or until players decide to end the game. Snap is simple, quick, and requires good observation skills.
