Snafooey (1982)

About this game

At the start of the game everyone gets 10 Chips (life points) and 4 cards. The cards have values from 1 to 4 and some are special action cards. During the game you must try to avoid getting over 30, 60 or 90 (losing 1, 2 or 3 chips correspondingly). Play a card, add it to the total, draw a card to replace it. Sounds easy, but its a fairly good card game. The last player with a chip wins a game.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 6.
• Rules load. At 1.0/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
