Overview

Snek is a competitive arcade game, where players use a robot to guide their snek across the Board. Snag fruit, dodge rivals, and try not to crash into your own tail in this fast-paced frenzy. Designed for ages 6 and up, Snek supports 1–4 players and delivers quick, action-packed gameplay perfect for friendly competition.

What You Need 

Robots (4 pieces) – from the Retro Arcade Collection piece set 

How to Play

Tutorial

Open Snek from your Board library or from Board Arcade. Select "How to Play" from the game mode selection screen for a rules overview before jumping in.

Gameplay

Each player places their robot on the Board and controls it by physically moving the piece. Your snek follows your robot's movements. Collect fruit to grow longer. The last player still slithering wins. Scores and survival times are tracked on-screen throughout.

Choose from three gameplay modes:

  • Co-op: 1–4 players work together to score as many points as possible

  • Versus:  2–4 players compete for the highest individual score

  • Teams: 2 vs. 2 working together to beat the other team’s score
