Woof

Woof is a fun variation to the traditional card game Snap. Having quick eyes and a quick voice will be your key to success.

The Object
Win the most cards by being the first player to notice the matching pairs.

What You'll Need
A standard deck of playing cards or a deck of specialty cards with matching pairs.

Setting Up the Game
2 to 4 players sit in a circle facing each other. The oldest player is the dealer. The dealer shuffles the cards and deals them face down to each player until all cards have been dealt. It does not matter if players do not all receive the same number of cards. Each player places their cards in a neat face down stack without looking at them.

Playing the Game
The youngest player goes first.
The player takes the top card from their stack and places it face up next to the rest of their cards. The player to the left goes next and the game continues. Be on the lookout for matching pairs. It could be two hearts, maybe two Queens, two 7's, etc. When you see two cards that match let out your best "WOOF!". The first player to woof wins the piles of cards under the matching cards. The winning cards are added to the bottom of the winners stack and they start the next round by flipping over the top card from their stack.

If a player plays all the cards from their stack they flip over their played face up cards and use them again.

If a player barks by mistake they must give each player a card from their face down stack.

>If two or more players bark at the same time the piles of cards with the matching cards on top are placed in the middle. Players take turns playing cards from their stack. The first player to play a card matching one of the face up cards wins all the cards in the middle.

If a player runs out of cards they are out of the game.

Winning the Game
The player who collects all the cards is the winner.
