Gameplay
Snapshot is a game of starship boarding and personal combat derived from Traveller.[1]
Reception
Eric Goldberg reviewed Snapshot in Ares Magazine #1, rating it a 5 out of 9.[2] Goldberg commented that "Slightly more complicated than necessary, but fairly playable. Adventurers can take half an hour or an afternoon."[2]
Tony Watson reviewed Snapshot in The Space Gamer No. 27.[1] Watson commented that "While Snapshot is a solid game in its own right, I think it truly realizes its potential when used with Traveller. Players must consider character survival more carefully and think of goals and ambitions beyond the immediate combat."[1]
