Controls

You play by taking turns flipping cards and watching for a match. Tap the Flip button, or click it with a mouse on a laptop, on your turn to add your top card to the pile; the computer flips on its own after a short pause.

Speed and accuracy both matter once a match appears:

• Calling snap means tapping or clicking the SNAP button the moment two consecutive cards share the same rank. The first to hit it wins the entire pile, so quick reactions decide each match.
• False snaps cost you. Tapping SNAP when there is no match penalizes you, usually by handing cards over, so you have to be fast without being careless.

The tension comes from the wait, since a match can appear at any moment and the race to tap is instant.

You win by collecting the whole deck. The computer's reaction time tightens across eight difficulty levels.

Tips

• Watch the cards, not the button. Keeping your eyes on the flipping cards lets you react the instant a match appears, while staring at the snap button means you'll always be a beat late.
• Keep your finger hovering. Resting your finger near the tap point removes the delay of moving to it, which can be the difference between winning and losing a close pile.
• Don't tap on impulse. False snaps cost you cards, so resist the urge to slap at every flip, and make sure you actually see two matching ranks before you tap.
• Stay relaxed but alert. Tension slows your reactions, so staying loose while remaining focused helps you respond faster than tensing up in anticipation.
• Anticipate as the pile grows. The longer a streak of non-matches runs, the more due a match feels, so heightening your focus during long dry spells keeps you ready to pounce.
• Expect the computer to speed up. Higher levels react faster, so at those you'll need to be genuinely quick and clean, making it even more important to avoid wasting taps on false snaps.
