Maybe snap and war are similar. Throw down cards rapidly
in turn and if two in a row have the same number, the
first person to shout 'War' and grab it wins the pile.
Object is to claim all the cards.

Hi, Martin,

I thought snap was a game that was played throughout
the card-playing
world. Rather like Monopoly and the board-game world.

From what my friend told me, I don't believe there's
any equivalent
game in the US.

What is the US English equivalent of 'Snap!'? I can't
think of one
apart from 'Right!'.

How about: Me, too! Ditto! Same here!

Funny how the same ideas can have two completely different
names. Still,
at least Murphy is known everywhere. Or does he have
different names in
other languages?

I think Murphy is world-wide. Here's an interesting
site

on Murphy, who
appears to be a modern incarnation of Sod's Law.
