These snap cards give rapid recall of the times tables a fun twist. However, it does not contain all of the times tables. Although I haven't counted them out, I think it covers 2s 3s and a few 4s and 5s. The highest answer is 36. The cards contain a mixture of numbers word and sums, ie "eighteen" "18" "9x2" and "6x3", and by limiting it to the easier times tables it make the snap game work better ( ie you have more snaps).
So ideal for a child in year 2-4, working on the 2,3,4,5,10 x tables, but it won't help those who have progressed onto the 6s,7s,8s, 9s, 11s and 12s.
My 5 and 7 year olds love it.

Durability:

I bought this for my 6.5 year old year 2 son, who is learning his tables, on the strength of the other reviews on Amazon. I feel I have wasted my money, and am very disappointed.
The set consists of 52 cards, plus 3 'self-checking guide' cards.
There are nine cards with the numbers 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 18, 20, 24, 36 on them, and a further nine with the same numbers written as words (four, eight, etc...).
The remaining 34 cards have multiplication sums on them, giving one of the above answers (IE 1x8, 1x10, 1x12, 2x2, 2x3, 2x4, 2x5, 2x6, 2x10, 2x12, 3x4, 3x6, 3x8, 3x12, 4x1, 4x2, 4x3, 4x5, 4x6, 4x9, 5x2, 5x4, 6x1, 6x2, 6x4, 6x6, 8x1, 8x3, 9x2, 9x4, 10x1, 10x2, 12x1, 12x2). And THAT'S IT!
The instructions give details on how to play snap, or pairs, and suggest "you can make your own cards to add to this pack if you want an expanded pack". But frankly, if I'd wanted to do that, I wouldn't have bought the pack in the first place!
So you can see from the list above that the 2-times table is almost complete (no 2x7, 2x8 or 2x11), and the other early tables are represented a bit, but it is of absolutely no value as a tool to aid learning of the tables in general as it covers such a small sample! It could be useful very early on to demonstrate that 3x4 is the same as 4x3, perhaps, and in becoming familiar with written numbers (four, eighteen...).
The age recommendation of 7+ is ridiculous. Most 7 year olds will already know their 2, 5 and 10 times tables, and be working on 3 and 4 (based on National Curriculum for year 2 children). This provides very little extra help beyond consolidating what they already know.
In summary, if you're thinking of buying this, don't bother. Make your own (better) set instead.

I bought this as a stocking filler for my daughter. Hopefully she will get some fun out of it and improve her times tables at the same time.

Times table snap
Probably more popular with the purchaser (adult) than with the recipient (child) but hopefully will reinforce learning and make responses automatic.

A little disappointing
Having had the starter pack and now have the 'advance pack' for 7+ years I am very disappointed that it does not contain any of the 3, 7 & 9 tables. Read more

An easy way to reinforce times tables
Although this game is good at reinforcing the times table it doesn't provide enough of the whole range of numbers.
Still better than nothing.

Not what I expected
It looked like this games was not completed, some of the time tables were, the mayority of them were not. Not very good for a child to learn time tables.
