Product description

Players put their charm, quick thinking, and persuasive personality to the test with the creative and hilarious Snake Oil game. One player is the “customer,” and the rest of the players are "salesmen" trying to convince the customer to purchase their product over the others. The products to sell are made by combining two of the Word cards, and players have to gear their sales pitch to the customer's character. Selling a snow machine to a caveman would be quite different from selling one to a rock star! Lie, fib, and make up some ridiculous stories in order to collect the most Customer cards. After each player has been the customer once, the player with the most Customer cards wins! Original Game by Jeff Ochs and Patricia Hayes Kaufman.

We LAUGHED and LAUGHED. What a FUN game!

Reviewed in the United States on September 1, 2018

Picture this: A naturopathic doctor, a nurse, a housewife, a sales rep, a real, honest to goodness rocket scientist and an instructional designer, all in our early 50's, get together to play Snake Oil on our regular, weekly "game night." After a long work week, none of us were particularly perky when we arrived. In fact, we came close to cancelling that night. From the very first round, Snake Oil had every one of us alert and engaged and tapping into our creative sides to come up with the best possible sales pitches for our "customers." We all agree, we laughed more that night than we laughed in the last month. From the "Fart Pen" to the "Elephant Bicycle" to "Heart School" for billionaires, we couldn't stop laughing. Every one of us quickly and willingly went into "creative mode" and shared candidly and freely, sometimes revealing to the others the previously unknown wild and crazy sides of our personalities. Snake Oil helped to create one of our best, most memorable game nights yet and we left feeling a closer sense of camaraderie and friendship and we all knew each other a little bit better. We're definitely looking forward to playing again in the near future. Snake Oil is great for adults of all ages. Because we found ourselves making a lot of the answers somewhat risque, it's probably not a great idea for adults and children to play together unless the adults agree to keep their answers G-rated. While that would be far less fun, keeping a game of Snake Oil G-rated (or maybe PG 13) is entirely possible. It took us all of a few minutes to figure out the rules, deal the cards and get started. The hysterical laughter began with round one and never stopped all evening. We're sending out a big shout out to the folks who created this game. You guys made our night. Thanks for a creating a really fun game. Please know, you have at least six fans singing your praises around south Florida! We can't recommend this game enough. Order it. You'll have a blast!!

Engaging game using imagination and quick-thinking

Reviewed in the United States on July 29, 2018

I played this game with my 10 and 12-year old daughters. It was hilarious and fun. The object of the game is to sell your made-up product to the "customer" of the group. Players take turns being the customer. Each player is dealt six cards. One person is the "customer" and the rest of the players are "snake-oil" salespeople. The salespeople pick two random cards out of their hand and try to make up a fictional product that the customer might like to buy or use.

For example, the customer card might be "vampire," or "wrestler," or "librarian."
The snake-oil salespeople take turns giving a pitch to the customer. My six random cards might be words like: suitcase, yawn, closet, college, terror, secret, or any combination of various words that I have drawn from the card pile. I pick two of those words and try to create a product that my customer would want to buy. Maybe "terror closet" might be an item that a vampire customer would want? So, I spend about 30 seconds trying to convince my vampire customer to buy my "terror closet." I can make up anything I want about my terror closet. "It's terrifying. It has a trapdoor for your victims to fall into. It's a lead-proof closet so no sunlight can get in to burn you. It's the perfect place to keep all of your vampire capes," etc.

Meanwhile, the other snake-oil salespeople also have their variety of cards and they will come up with an item that the customer might like better.

The combinations are nonsensical and it requires quick-thinking to come up with something creative to pitch to the customer. Players take turns giving their product pitch to the customer and then the customer decides who wins that round.

I purchased this game because it was recommended to me by a child psychologist to help my child increase her cognitive processing speed. (To help her think and verbalize her thoughts more quickly!) My daughter found it engaging and interesting. And - I'm so glad, as a parent, that it was fun for me as well. We will definitely play this again.

The game and how much you enjoy it will entirely reflect the dynamic of your group.

Reviewed in the United States on November 30, 2017

I'm an avid board game collector and this is one of my favorite games - but it's entirely dependent on your group! If your friends are quiet and boring, the game will be quiet and boring. If you want to work in dark comedy, sexual innuendos, or innapropriate conversations into the game, you can. If you want to play with your kids, you can make it the most family-friendly game in your closet.

Personally, games like Rotten Apples, Cards Against Humanity, What Do U Meme, and games like it REALLY make me cringe. The designers probably had a really fun time making it, all you do is stick cards together and laugh at them. In Snake Oil, the cards are funny but generic and it's entirely up to you to make something of your hand.

Essentially you'll get cards, put them together and call it a product, and then you'll try to sell your product. Each person you are selling to has different needs and vices, so in trying to "sell" to them you'll have to be a good salesperson and work that into your pitch. I love playing this with my friends and family (all adults) but when I have kids, I'm definitely getting them to play this as it would teach good self-esteem and public speaking skills.

If you enjoy it, I would also recommend FUNemployed as it has a similar playstyle.
