The Object of SNORTA!®

In SNORTA!®, players quickly play

animal cards. Those who match

cards race to make the sound of

each other’s hidden animal. The

first person to play all the cards in

his or her hand wins SNORTA!®

Setting Up

Choose a person to be the dealer.

The dealer—

❧Places one barn in front of

each player.

❧Places all 12 animals in the

Animal Grab Bag.

❧Passes the Animal Grab Bag

from player to player until

each player, without looking in

the bag, has taken one animal.

Each player’s animal should be

displayed on the table near that

player’s barn.

❧Shuffles the animal cards

together with the Swap Card

and deals all cards, face down,

so that each player, including

the dealer, has an equal number

of cards. Any left-over cards will

not be used in this game.

7-8 Players: use all 12 sets of

animal cards

5-6 Players: remove one set of

animal cards (8 matching cards)

4 Players: remove two sets of

animal cards

Sounding Off

The purpose of Sounding Off is to

help players remember the sounds

of other players’ animals. Players

may need to recall these sounds

later in the game.

1. Starting with the dealer, each

player takes a turn making the

sound of his or her animal.

2. All players place their barns

over their animals so that the

animals cannot be viewed by

other players.

3. Each player repeats the sound

of the animal hidden in his or

her barn.

Playing the Game

1. Each player picks up the cards

dealt to him or her and holds

them, face down, in one hand.

These cards become the

player’s “cards in-hand.”

2. Starting with the dealer and

moving clockwise around the

table, each player takes a turn

flipping the top card from his or

her cards in-hand, face up, onto

the table.

As cards are played, each

player is creating a stack of

“table cards.”

Each player may only play cards

onto the top of his or her own

stack of table cards.

Each player’s stack of table

cards must be located on the

table so that they are in clear

view of all players.

Example:

Player A

(Pig in Barn)

Player B

(Cow in Barn)

Player C

(Cat in Barn)

Player D

(Sheep in Barn)

Player E

(Duck in Barn)

Player F

(Snake in Barn)

3. Play continues until a card

is played that matches a card

already on top of another

player’s stack of table

cards. As soon as a match

is identified, all players stop

playing cards.

4, When a match is identified,

the two players with cards that

match race to make the sound

of each other’s hidden

animal. They must make the

same sound that was assigned

to the animal by its owner when

“Sounding Off.”

Ages 8 to Adult

4-8 Players 20-30 Minutes per Game

®

See example: Player A, who

has a pig in the barn, plays

an owl card. Player E, who has

a duck in the barn, already has

an owl card on top of his or her

stack of table cards. Since their

cards match, Player A races

to say “quack” before Player E

says “oink.”

It is important to note

that the two players who

match cards make the sound

of the animal in each other’s

barn rather than the sound of

the animal on the cards.

5. The first of the two players

involved in the match who

can make the sound of the

other player’s hidden animal

wins that match.

If a player makes the sound

of the wrong animal, he or

she may try to guess the

right animal by continuing to

make animal sounds. There is

no penalty for making the sound

of the wrong animal.

Players who are not involved

in the match may not make any

animal sounds.

6. The player who wins the match

gives all of his or her table

card(s) to the other player

involved in the match. That

player takes the cards and

also picks up his or her own

table card(s) and adds both

stacks of cards, face down, to

the bottom of his or her cards

in-hand.

7. Play resumes with the player

to the left of the last person

to play a card. All other table

cards remain on the table and

play continues clockwise.

Winning the Game

The first player out of cards in-

hand wins SNORTA!®, regardless

of the number of table cards that

player has remaining.

Notes:

1. Each card should be flipped

outward so that all players

see the animal on the card

at the same time, including the

person who played that card.

2. Players can control the speed

of the game by how fast they

play their cards. The faster the

pace—the wilder the game!

3. Once play begins, a player is

not required to reveal the

animal in his or her barn—even

if other players ask.

4. During a match, players

must make the exact sound

that an animal’s owner

assigned it. However, if you

would like to simplify the game,

you can allow players to make

any animal sound that correctly

identifies the animal in the

barn. For example, a dog could

be identified by “woof,” “bow-

wow,” or “arf.”

5. If a match is missed and a third

matching card is played, only

the first match is allowed. The

two players involved in that

The Swap Card

There is one Swap

Card in the deck.

When a player

flips over this

card, the player

must select a

new animal from

the Animal Grab

Bag and return

his or her old

animal to the bag. The

player must make the sound of his

or her new animal and then place it

in the barn. Other players should

try to remember the sound of

that player’s new animal and play

continues.

match race to make the sound

of each other’s hidden animal.

6. Because players occasionally

identify a match after additional

cards have been played, it is

possible for more than one

match to be in play at the

same time.

7. If a player is playing the last

card from his or her cards

in-hand and it results in a

match, that player must win

that match in order to win

the game.

Junior Version

SNORTA!® can be played with

younger players by simply leaving

the animals outside of the barns.

When players see that their animal

cards match, they look at the

animal in front of the player with

the matching card and make the

sound of that animal.

Family Version

For mixed ages and abilities, some

of the animals may be covered with

barns while other animals are not.

Novice players’ animals stay in the

barn, while experienced players’

animals are outside.

Winning the Game

of table cards that player has remaining.

(THE FOLLOWING PARAGRAPH APPEARS IN A BOX, ALONG WITH AN

ILLUSTRATION OF THE SWAP CARD)

The Swap Card

There is one Swap Card in the deck. When a player flips over this card, the

player must select a new animal from the Animal Grab Bag and return his or her

old animal to the bag. The player must make the sound of his or her new animal

and then place it in the barn. Other players should try to remember the sound of

that player’s new animal and play continues.

Notes:

1. Each card should be flipped outward so that all players see the animal on the

card at the same time, including the person who played that card.

2. Players can control the speed of the game by how fast they play their cards.

The faster the pace—the wilder the game!

3. Once play begins, a player is not required to reveal the animal in his or her

barn—even if other players ask.

assigned it. However, if you would like to simplify the game, you can allow

players to make any animal sound that correctly identifies the animal in the barn.

For example, a dog could be identified by “woof,” “bow-wow,” or “arf.”

5. If a match is missed and a third matching card is played, only the first match is

allowed. The two players involved in that match race to make the sound of each

other’s hidden animal.

6. Because players occasionally identify a match after additional cards have

been played, it is possible for more than one match to be in play at the same

time.

7. If a player is playing the last card from his or her cards in-hand and it results in

a match, that player must win that match in order to win the game.

(THE FOLLOWING TWO PARAGRAPHS APPEAR IN A BOX)

Junior Version

SNORTA!® can be played with younger players by simply leaving the animals

outside of the barns. When players see that their animal cards match, they look

at the animal in front of the player with the matching card and make the sound of

that animal.

Family Version

For mixed ages and abilities, some of the animals may be covered with barns

while other animals are not. Novice players’ animals stay in the barn, while

experienced players’ animals are outside.
