Mattel Games Skip-Bo Card Game for Kids, Adults & Family Night, Travel Game in Collectible Storage Tin for 2-6 Players [Amazon Exclusive]

My family (2 adults, children aged 8 and 11) likes card games that are fairly fast moving and short, so that each game isnt a major time commitment and no one gets bored between turns. Skipbo is a new one for us; it fits the bill nicely and we enjoy it a lot! Its a group solitaire style, where the goal is to get rid of your own cards. Because of having different kinds of piles, individual and in the middle of the table, the rules seemed confusing at first. But we all caught on pretty quickly, and the gameplay makes for a good combination of chance and strategy. By varying the number of cards players start with in their stock piles you can vary game length, or even give an advantage to a younger player if needed.

I received this product free in exchange change for an honest review. Skipbo is a game the whole family can play together. Each player has their own stockpile of cards with 5 cards in their hand, and can create up to 4 stacks of 4 cards each, when they can not play any of the cards they are holding. The goal is to play all of your cards by playing the next sequential number on top of the top most card in the stack. Example: if a four is face up on the stack, then you will play a five, then a six, then a seven, etc. The skipbo card is wild and can be used in place of any number. You keep playing until you can no longer place a card, then it is the next players turn. The first player to get rid of all their cards is the winner. The cards are colorful and a nice sturdy thickness. The metal tin that holds the cards is a bonus and protects the deck. It is a great game, easy to learn and fun to play. I highly recommend this product.

I played this game as a kid, it was easy to learn, fun, & a great way to entertain as a family & with guest or visitors. Always a great gift!!!

Excellent Skip-Bo cards packaged in attractive Skip-Bo tin.

This is a nice tin. We have been playing a lot of card games and this is perfect!

Enjoy skip bo, but this takes it up to a whole other level. This is a ton of fun to play in a competitive family
