Skip-Bo Card Game
A member of Mattel's popular family of Uno card games, Skip-Bo resembles
speed (or spit) in the same way that Uno takes after crazy eights. Out
of a 162-card deck, two to six players are each dealt 20-card
"stockpiles"; the first one to deplete their pile wins. Competing either
alone or in teams, players draw from a central pile and stack their
cards sequentially onto one of four "build" piles (for example, an eight
onto a seven, a three onto a two), using plentiful Skip-Bo wild cards to
break up static situations. Deceptively simple and ingeniously designed,
this classic game offers plenty of strategizing opportunities, or it can
just make a nice backdrop to socializing and munching on potato chips.
"Skip-Bo" is the commercial version of the traditional game known as "Spite and Malice". Number Of Players: 2 to 6 |
