A Timeless Card Game, a Family Favorite!, 5237
Build and Create Stacks with Skip-Bo!
Get into the competitive spirit with the Skip-Bo card game where players skillfully build their own stacks of sequentially numbered, ascending cards. Players are dealt the same amount of cards face down into what becomes their personal STOCK pile. During play, they draw from a central DRAW pile and work towards starting up to four BUILDING piles. Each pile is then built up numerically in sequence, 1 through 12. The first player to get rid of their pile wins!
Extra Twists!
A Skip-Bo card is wild and can be played to start a BUILDING pile or as any other number, too. These cards are perfect for breaking up static situations or for helping to beat your opponents.
Strategize!
In this game there are lots of ways to strategize: organizing cards into the discard piles, not setting up the next players for good plays, knowing when to play from which option, and the biggie: the timing of when to play a valuable Skip-Bo wild card.

Purchased this after playing with friends on holiday. One of those games which initially seems too simple but strategy grows with experience!
Purchased this for when we were on holiday and was such a fun game! Easy to play, very addictive and easy to pack when travelling. Hours and hours of fun had with family of a range of ages!
I ordered this game as wanted something similar to uno whilst camping with our two girls. This is actually in our opinion a better game. It might take you a little while to get the hang of it but I read the instructions first (which are fairly clear) and then watched a YouTube video just to clarify a couple of things that I couldn’t work out from the instructions. We played one game and after that everyone had the hang of it. Our girls are 6 & 8 and can pretty much play it after about 5 games without any adult intervention. The object is to get rid of your stock pile of cards to win the game. The instructions suggest 20 cards in a stock pile but we changed it to 5 each so the games are quicker which makes it more enjoyable for little ones. Can’t wait to take this game camping next week! Highly recommend.
We play this game a lot over the year we use around 3 packs. This game is addictive and easy for children to take part. The supplier we always use as cards alway arrive when they say ( usually the next day ) and the price is very reasonable. Would recommend this fun game.
This game is so much fun, easy to learn especially if you are familiar with solitaire order of cards & highly addictive when you get the game down.
Some friends introduced us to this game after their granddaughter taught them how to play it. At first, when reading though the instructions, it appeared quite complicated but after an 11 year old explained it to us, we realised that it actually isn’t. It is however quite addictive and has quickly become a firm favourite in our house!
Fantastic game , we couldn’t get enough of it the other wkend when played at my daughters house , perfect for all ages , my 5yr old grandson was playing , def recommend
Joined in with newly made friends on a cruise , easy to play picked up quickly, ordered as soon as we got home. Enjoyable with only two players, so great for taking on holidays.
A different card game for all the family,fun & helps with younger children thinking logically development. Recommended
I haven’t actually used the cards that have just arrived, but I ordered the game because I played Skip Bo at my friends house at the weekend. I enjoyed the game so much that I ordered one the very next day. We are people of a certain age, and enjoyed the game tremendously. Rummikub is now on the back burner. Would recommend highly.
Love this game. Learnt to play it online on the app, but having the physical cards is so much more fun. Easy to play and take wherever you want. Great gift for a game-lover. Think I’m going to print out and laminate a few ‘playing boards’ to make it really clear which pile of cards is which.
We play skipbo in our community centre. It’s a fantastic game and gets everyone’s competitive side going.
We started playing this game during covid, this is our second pack, as the original pack looked so grubby we felt we had to renew for easier shuffling etc. we play at least one game every day, we are in our 70s it’s competitive, or for kids a good game with numbers, the more you play, the better your tactics get… best game ever.
That’s a nice cards game. Easy to learn and suitable for traveling.
Came across this whilst visiting family. Good game for all ages
Me and my mum love playing this game. We were introduced to it by our Scottish neighbours when I was younger. Mum has quite an old school deck and as a grown women I felt I needed my own modern set. In honour of Our neighbours, whenever we play I like to commentate the game as two Scottish Men; Shaun and John at the “skip-bo world championships”, of which you will be happy to know I am currently world champion. It’s a great game for all the family and would highly recommend it, as well as creating your own commentators, it really gives the game that extra something!
