Snip Snap Snorem, or Snip Snap Snorum, is a matching-type card game heading a range of children's games which certainly go back to the 18th century and probably derive from a more ancient and biblical gambling game. Almost identical is the German game of Schipp-Schnapp-Schnurr-Burr-Basilorum, except that Kings are not stops but are followed by Ace, two, et cetera.
