Making a Universal Snap Jack: Part 1
For some time I have wanted to purchase a Universal Snap Jack, but like many Universal games they are not always an easy game to find. Until I am able to locate one I’ve decided that I am going to start piecing one together using an old converted generic Universal cabinet.
