SNATCH is the word game, pure and simple. It takes 30 seconds to learn and you'll play it for the rest of your life.

The idea behind the game - to make words and to poach words by adding to them - has been around since Victorian times.

I decided to develop it into SNATCH, a word game with the essential elements of speed, addiction and simplicity. Unlike other games it doesn't take an evening to set up and play.

SNATCH is addictive, loud and generally good fun. It does test your brain a bit but the most unlikely people are very very good at it. Plus, it looks nice.
