(More customer reviews)This game seems silly and childish at first glance but is actually much more fun and challenging than you would think...for players of any age.
The setup is very simple. Each person gets an animal figure and hides it in a little plastic barn in front of them. Your animal is only revealed at the beginning of the game and is hidden the rest of the time. Then the deck of animal cards is dealt out completely to all players.
The gameplay is very similar to a multiplayer version of Slap Jack. You flip cards down on the table one at a time, and when the picture on your card matches that of another person, you blurt out the sound of that person's hidden animal. This is where the misconception of the simplicity of the game starts. It is not as easy as it seems. With multiple players, you must remember everyone's animal. Not only that, but you have to keep your eyes on all of the other animal cards that are being flipped down...So for example, you have a cow in your barn, you match with a pair of frogs with the person who has a snake in their barn. Then your mind begins a scramble of sorting through all of the different information very quickly. The faster the game goes the more fun it is. Whomever loses the "blurting" match, then picks up all of their cards, as well as all of the dropped cards from the winner. The first to drop all of their cards wins. The game actually gets more and more complicated with each passing game. Seeing as the person who had a Mouse in the last game may have a Sheep in the next and a Pig in the one after that.
Overall the game becomes a fun time of people laughing and blurting out random noises...often times that are just nonsensical jibberish as you scramble to make the right noise first.
This game is very versatile. A friend of mine is a teacher and got a set for her class for rainy days. But we also realized that this could be a great game for small children to teach animal sounds...as well as for older children as an exercise in a foreign language class.

It's the party game where everyone is an animal... or at least sounds like one!Each player selects a typical farm animal and keeps them hidden in their barn.Players quickly play animal cards, and when there is a match, those with the matching cards race to make the sound of each other's hidden animal.Get ready for laughter as your friends and family suddenly start sounding like they were born in a barn!The first person to play all the cards in his/her hand, wins the game!Have a hoot with Snorta - your barnyard will fill with bales of laughter.Game comes with 12 Snorta animals - a cat, cow, dog, donkey, duck, frog, mouse, owl, pig, rooster, sheep, and snake, 97 Snorta cards - 8 cards for each of the 12 animals and 1 Swap Card, 8 Snorta barns, an Animal Grab Bag, and Game Instructions.For 4 - 8 Players, Ages 8 and Up.
