Kids Encyclopedia Facts

Woodland Snap is a version of the classic children's game Snap, with woodland animals as the characters. It uses a proprietary pack with 11 animal characters and 4 of each card. The game was first published in 1960 by Pepys Games and the illustrations were drawn by children's author and artist Racey Helps (1913-70). The cards started off as basic black and white drawings, but over fifty years they have developed into colour.

Playing

The game follows the normal rules of Snap, but in addition the pack contains guidance on etiquette and rules for more advanced games.

There are eleven characters in the game:

  • Humphry Goggle - the male toad
  • Mrs. Croak - the female toad
  • Barnaby Littlemouse - the male mouse
