If you’re trying to find something to entertain your kids (and yourself) during these brutal winter months, look no further than the Snarkas card game.
But a fair warning comes with this recommendation: You and any loved ones you recruit to play this game will be addicted to its uniqueness and fast-paced fun.
This game is not only hilarious to play, but the creative backstory provides fun details to keep kids entertained. After the “Great Sneeze Upheaval,” gems were scattered across the Snarkaverse and robots went into hiding. Years later, these gems are the only ticket out of exile. It encourages imaginations to run wild!
Snarkas is made for kids ages 8 and up, and it sneaks in a lot of fun ways for them to learn, with elements of addition and strategies.
However, it’s fun for groups of adults, as well. If you pull this out at a Superbowl watch party before the game starts, you might just accidentally miss any football action. It also comes in a fairly small box, so it’s easy to pack as a travel game and bring to any occasion.

Gather 1-3 other players beside yourself in order to begin playing. The number of cards you lay out depends on how many people join you, and if there are four total, you’ll play in two teams.
Each player will go around the circle and put a card on the table from their hand. You can collect cards if the one from your hand matches any on the table, or you can collect a combination of cards that add up to the number of the card you played. Once everyone has played, the dealer passes out a new hand of cards. The round continues until there are no more cards left in the deck, and the outcome will depend on how many gems are on the cards in your collection.
But, there are special cards in the deck that really spice up the game and build the tension. ZAP cards allow a player to take all the cards that are on the table. If you happen to collect all the tables without a ZAP card, however, you win a Snarkas Gem, which is equal to 10 gems total. There are also Aster and Jolt — aka the hilarious robot mascots of the game — cards, which if you collect all four of either, you earn four gems.
The instructions for this game are easy to follow, and within a round your group will get the hang of it. However, if you want a great way for kids to get the hang of it, there is even an opportunity to scan a QR code that leads to a fun how-to video where Aster and Jolt can explain the game themselves.
The first player or team to win 50 gems wins, which typically takes around 15-30 minutes. Or, raise that number to keep the game going — the fun is in your hands!
Available for only $14.99 on Amazon, this game will definitely create memories for your family that will last a lifetime.
