    HOW TO PLAY SNAKESSS


    Snakesss is quick to learn and easy to play but like any good game it’s a challenge to master. Watch out for the snakes! They already know the answers and their diabolical mission is to charm the rest of you into choosing the wrong answers.

  2. Are you a snake, an ordinary human or a mongoose?

    KEEP IT SECRET


    To start the game each player is handed a character token. If you’re the Mongoose of Truth flip over your token, take the wooden mongoose figurine and put it in front of everyone to show everyone that you are not the snake. The rest of the players (ordinary humans or snakes) must keep their characters secret.

  3. Be careful of the snakes

    TRUST NO ONE


    Only the snakes are allowed to see the right answer of the question card. Once they’ve read it they must flip it over and everyone has 2 minutes to discuss a slippery multiple choice question as “what has been proven to attract sharks?” or “what is the most common internet password?“. The snakes will do everything in their power to trick you so be careful about your choice.

  4. Reveal your answers

    SO MANY SNAKESSS


    When the time is up, every player must place their chips in the middle of the table. If you are an ordinary human or a Mongoose and you get the answer right you gain a point and if you are snake you get a point for every wrong answer. Keep playing until you finish the six rounds, the player with the most points wins!

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersPlayed this over Christmas with the family. Caused a lot of laughs with nobody trusting eachother, all accusing eachother of being snakes. Apart from the mongoose of truth of course!

    Played this over Christmas and New Year with the whole family. Kids need to be 8/9 plus to enjoy. Very good fu

    Such a good game, play for fun or play seriously, everyone can join in, hope these more questions developed as it won’t take that long to get through them all. Developer has an online video on how to play, so everyone can be clued up within minutes

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersI’ve bought many board games over the years. My kids are now teenagers and this game went down well at Xmas. The questions are quite obscure, so the gameplay is more about deception (if you are a snake) and trying to convince the other players to choose the wrong answer.

    As a 4 player game, we found that only having 1 snake worked better.

    Finally, what’s the deal with the Mongoose? . Mongoose aside, a good game for the family.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersThis is a really fun party game, but works best with a higher number of players..

    I played this with 4 people, and the game tells you to use two snake cards, one human card and one mongoose of truth card. This balance doesn’t really work as the human knows who all the other players must be, as do the snakes.

    We fixed it with this home brewed rule!
    For four players:
    Shuffle two snake cards and two human cards. Pick three of them at random, then shuffle those three with the mongoose card. Deal them out to players. Now no one knows if there is one snake and two humans, or two snakes and one human! Completely restores the balance of the game. Loved it once we did this.

    This is a really good game when you get your head round the rules. We have played it with my 12 year old son and 8 year old daughter. We have played it as a group of 4 then as a group of 6. With more people it changed the dynamics of the game. Which made it even more fun. I would recommend for a family or a group of older friends.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersA brilliant game and easy to learn. It’s fun to play with all the family. The questions are plentiful so unlike other games you won’t know all the questions answers and it’s very hard to cheat while playing as you only really benefit the snake

    We gave this game to our grandchildren for xmas, and now we often play when we visit them, it’s a lot of fun! It’s about guessing the answers to questions, but you discuss it amongst yourselves before choosing your individual answers. The twist is that there is one person who has to tell the truth, then a combination of people who just say what they think the answer might be, and the rest are the snakes who know the correct answer but have to try and dissuade everyone else from getting it!

    Golden Review Award: 4 From Our UsersExcellent service from the makers of this game ‘The Big Potato ‘. We had a minor problem with the first game received. But with two days to christmas I was sent a replacement without hesitation. They saved the day and my three nephews plus mum, dad and grandparent thoroughly enjoyed their game. Thank you Big Potato!

    Game is easy to pickup and understand and is a huge amount of fun n a group.

    We played it regularly as friends and family grasped it quick and didn’t get bored of it. Certainly gets the energy and conversation up and had lot fun playing it. Really do need a decent size group to play though would say 4 is a minimum but not recommended more 6 people +

    A really great family game. If you watch the short you tube video on how to play it’s really easy to get started and playing quickly. My family love it. I recommend this game to anyone who loves good family fun time.

    I got this to play with my 12 year old daughter and family ready for Christmas. Myself and my daughter tested it out and it’s brilliant! Very easy to follow instructions and a great laugh, kept us amused for hours and can’t wait to play this with the rest of the family.

    An interesting co-operative game. It requires at least 4 players and the main aim of the game is to work together to find the right answer to multiple-option questions. Simple enough. However, some of the players you’re ‘co-operating’ with, will try to lead you down the wrong way. They’ll try to convince you to pick an answer which is actually wrong: if you fall for it, they score the points!
    Very interesting concept. We had a lot of fun, it is a very social game and is fun whether you’re a snake or not. If you are, you have to be careful not to be too obvious, you have to read people and try to convince them that they’re wrong. If you’re not a snake, you get paranoid. You want to get the right answer and have to listen to your team mates but everything everybody says is analysed and questioned. Don’t be fooled!!!
    Very fun with lots or replayability. 100% recommended.

    Golden Review Award: 4 From Our UsersA really good quality fun game, perfect for larger numbers of people. I love the design, and its a really creative idea for a game. It can also be very portable so great for travelling if you take just the pieces with you. The only slight downside is its not as fun with less people, and also some people could cheat quite easily. However this can be solved by simply using blindfolds. Once you get the hang of the rules, its an addictive and really fun game, with a fantastic concept and great question cards too. We’ve had lots of fun playing this with the family and look forward to being able to play with more people in the future.

    We do love a board game and have the usual, scrabble, monopoly, articulate, trivial pursuit and many more at home. I was looking forward to trying out a new game.
    We had a great time playing it, it was quite fund having to figure out who was lying and seeing some people struggle to convince others. Everyone really enjoyed it and I will certainly play this again. I think this game works better with more people so would recommend playing with more than just the minimum 4 people if you can.

    Golden Review Award: 9 From Our UsersHad a fantastic games evening recently where this featured heavily. Easy to pick up and gets better the more you play. I love deceit, lying games, and usually those types of games tend to go on a bit and people who don’t have great roles tend to get dissinterested. Not so with Snakesss, whose round legnth and game time was perfect for everyone to get a taste at playing as all roles. Very social, very fun and great for a party. Highly recommended.

    The questions are pretty out there, so don’t feel shy about bringing this game when your smartest pal is going to be playing.

    Being a small family of 3 it took a while before we got our 4th to try this game out. It is really fun and just goes to show us how good a liar some are, moreso than others! It’s been a long time since I tried a new game, I normally stick to old favourites like Monopoly or Scrabble. It was nice to play a totally new game and half the fun was learning the rules.
    This is one of those games that, if at no other time, will definitely come out at Christmas or whenever friends come around.

    Really fun to play as a pastime! However it does get a little repetitive. The more people playing the better; with just the minimum people (4) things can get a little predictable.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersReally nice simple idea for a game, like the eco packaging and the design, and works well with the absolute snakes I have in my family. Also will now be using ‘mongoose of truth’ as a phrase day to day going forward.

    Love this game! Great fun with friends trying to deceive them into the wrong answers or fighting to make the truth heard!

    Also loved the eco friendly packaging as it was all paper or card and no plastic!

    Golden Review Award: 5 From Our UsersI am really loving the quirky original nature of the games coming out of Big Potato games. We hold a weekly family games night and are always looking for new games to add to the pool whatever they are. Snakesss is a simple concept which asks players to discuss multiple choice questions to try and work out the correct answer. The players then vote for what they believe is the right answer and score points on that basis.

    The players are dealt out character cards which tell them whether they are humans, snakes or the mongoose. The mongoose is the only one that you know isn’t the snake, so is the only one you can trust to be trying to find the right answer. The snakes are the only ones around the table who know the correct answer and are tasked with using deceit and trickery to persuade you to pick the wrong answer.

    This game is particularly good because of its simplicity, it’s so easy to pick up and just play. No time spent reading over the rules and trying to understand them you can play it within only moments of opening it for the first time. We played the game with 4 players and all of us really enjoyed it. I do think a greater number of players would make this more fun so am looking forward to getting a larger group together and trying it again.

    If you are into games nights with your friends, you really can’t go far wrong with this one.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersGot this game for after-dinner entertainment, very easy to learn, provides a lot of entertainment through the night, like mafia or vampire but with the added dimensions of questions and roles changing each round.
    Highly recommend.

    I love big potato games, and this one didn’t disappoint! This is a fun, party game – I played with some of my friends. Definitely one to play if you enjoy trivia. There are plenty of cards so I’m sure you can play multiple times with no repeats.
