Under pressure
Oh Snap! is a game of pressure-packed pieces and pressure-packed decisions. Looking over the various sizes of circular pieces, it’s hard to determine which ones are linchpins and which are expendable. The smallest pieces are usually easier to pluck but are worth less points. Picking up a large piece is a gutsy move but can pay dividends... if you can pull it off.
Choosing the correct disc each turn involves a little strategy, a little guesswork, and a lot of anticipation—the perfect recipe for a fun game night.
Choose wisely
To set up the board, pull back the spring loaded crossbar and load the board with the wooden discs. The bar continually pushes on the pieces, forming an intricate network of pressure distribution. If you remove a piece that affects that pressure distribution, the bar will snap ahead to claim more space, and you must discard the piece without earning points.
If you successfully extract a piece that doesn’t move the bar, you keep the piece and add its point value to your total. Play until there are no pieces remaining and see who racked up the most points.
Playing is a snap.
Snap it up
The Oh Snap! set includes the wooden gameboard and 66 wooden pieces. The pieces are divided evenly into three groups by color and size: red (worth 5 points), yellow (10 points), and blue (15 points). These pieces fit into the cloth carrying sack, which ensures you don’t lose any pieces during travel or storage.
Pick up the uniquely simple Oh Snap! and let the suspense commence!
Each color of piece has a different point value.
Frequently Asked Questions
Question: Does it hurt your finger when the bar snaps?
Answer: The bar in Oh Snap! would only hit your finger if you leave it in the playing arena instead of grabbing a piece up and out. Even then, it doesn’t generate enough force to cause pain. Bottom line: no, it won't hurt you.
Question: Is there a specific order to the pieces?
Answer: You can load in the pieces however you like. Dropping them in randomly is the simplest.
