FAQs

What is the minimum age for this game?

While recommended for children who can identify patterns, it is typically suitable for ages 3 and up with adult guidance.

Can this be played with only two people?

Yes, London Snap is perfectly balanced for two players, though it can accommodate more.

Are the cards standard playing card size?

They are designed to be child-friendly, making them easy for little hands to manage and shuffle.

What London landmarks are included?

The deck includes various icons such as the London Bus, taxi, London Eye, and St. Paul's Cathedral.

How do I clean the cards?

Wipe lightly with a dry, lint-free cloth if necessary. Do not use water or cleaning agents as they will damage the cardboard.

Does the set come with instructions?

Yes, standard snap rules apply, which are simple enough that most children pick them up within one or two demonstration rounds.

Troubleshooting

Cards are sticking together

Fanning the deck out to let air circulate between cards usually resolves static or humidity-related sticking.

Dispute over a 'snap' call

Establish a 'house rule' before starting, such as designating one player as the referee or using a 'best of three' tie-break system.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Compact and lightweight for easy portability
  • Engaging way to learn about world geography and landmarks
  • Develops essential social and cognitive skills in young children
  • High-quality card material suitable for repeated play

Cons

  • Requires adult supervision for very young children to prevent bent cards
  • Small card size may be difficult for children with limited motor dexterity
  • Game duration depends heavily on the number of players

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setting up for a game of London Snap is instantaneous: simply shuffle the deck thoroughly and deal the cards face down among all participants. No board or additional accessories are required.

To ensure the longevity of your cards:

  • Always store the cards in their original box after play to prevent loss.
  • Keep the deck away from moisture or liquid spills, which can cause cardstock to warp.
  • Teach children to handle the edges of the cards rather than bending them during the 'snap' motion to maintain the integrity of the print.
