SNIP SNAP SNOREM

This article appears in Volume V25, Page 294 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SIV-SOU
SNIP SNAP SNOREM , an old game at
cards
 , sometimes called
Earl
  of Coventry. There are several methods of playing, but in the commonest a full
whist
 
pack
  is used and any number of players may take
part
 . The
pack
  is dealt, one card at a time, and the eldest hand places upon the table any card he likes. Each player in his turn then tries to match the card played just before his, making use of a prescribed
formula
  if successful. Thus, if a king is played, the second player
lays
  down another king (if he can) calling out " Snip!" The next player
lays
  down the third king, saying " Snap! " and the next the fourth king with the word
Snorem. " A player not being able to pair the card played may not discard, and the holder of " Snorem " has the
privilege
  of beginning the next round. The player who gets rid of all his
cards
  first wins a counter from his companions for each card' still held by them.
