How to Play
Option 1
Distribute cards evenly between the players
Take turns flipping over the cards, if a player sees two cards that when added together make 5 or 10, the must quickly cover the two cards and say “SNAP” and they take the pair. Ex. 2 and 8, 5 and 5 etc.
Continue taking turns flipping cards until there are no more cards or combinations.
The person with the most pairs wins!
Alternatively, players can have all cards face up and find pairs that way.
Note: cards that have been flipped stay facing up and you can use them to also make pairs with any future cards that are flipped, or by themselves.
