Snake Oil Print And Play May 2026
Snake Oil is a fast-paced, hilariously creative party game that challenges players to become the ultimate 19th-century huckster. In this game, your goal is to "pitch" absurd inventions to a rotating cast of eccentric customers.
While the physical game is widely popular, the Print and Play (PnP) version is an excellent way to get the game on your table instantly without waiting for shipping. How Snake Oil Works
The game relies on two decks: Word Cards (objects or descriptors) and Customer Cards (various roles like "Caveman," "Rock Star," or "Alien").
The Ultimate Fan Expansion: Creating Your Own "Snake Oil Expansion Pack"
Once you master the basic Snake Oil print and play, the real magic begins. Grab a blank template (available on BGG files) and create these themed expansions.
The "Corporate Hell" Expansion
- Customers: The CEO, The Intern, HR, A Shareholder.
- Words: Synergy, Audit, Pizza Party, Redundancy, Spreadsheet, Leverage.
- Example Pitch: "Mr. CEO, I have invented 'Audit Pizza.' You get the joy of pizza, but the constant fear of a tax review. It keeps everyone working through lunch!"
The "Fantasy Tavern" Expansion
- Customers: A Dwarf, An Elf, A Dragon, The Bartender.
- Words: Ale, Axe, Spellbook, Beard, Tankard, Goblin.
- Example Pitch: "Hey Dwarf, try my 'Beard Ale'! You don't drink it; you soak your beard in it, and you get drunk through your pores."
The "Scary Movie" Expansion (Halloween Special)
- Customers: A Ghost, A Vampire, The Final Girl, A possessed Doll.
- Words: Chainsaw, Garlic, Mirror, Soul, Shadow, Scream.
Level 1: The "Fast & Cheap" (Paper & Sleeves)
- Materials: Standard printer paper, scissors (or guillotine cutter), standard playing cards.
- Process:
- Print the cards on standard paper.
- Cut them out.
- Slide the paper cutout into a standard playing card sleeve over a "junk" card (like an old Magic: The Gathering land card or a standard Bicycle playing card) to give it rigidity.
- Pros: No glue, no special paper, cards shuffle perfectly immediately.
- Cons: The cards feel "slippery" and you can see the back of the junk card through the sleeve if the paper is thin.
