About the game
Players each choose a color and then place wooden disks (6 of each color) face down to be mixed together. Players then take turns putting one face down disk on the long end of a see saw device. The player slaps the short end, sending the disk spinning into the air. All players try to figure out what color it is as it spins in the air and the player of that color should try to catch the disk before it lands. The first player to catch 4 disks wins. If you catch another player's disk or you block another player from catching their disk, they will still earn the disk. Ages 4-99
Questions and answers
Schnapp supports 2–4 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Schnapp is 20 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Schnapp for ages 6 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Schnapp has a complexity rating of 1.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
