Mattel Games SKIP BO Card Game

Just what I ordered

I love Skip Bo! This was a good value since it also came with Phase10. Good cards

Can be played by 2-4 people but we like it best for 2.

Great game at a great price. It's really fun for all ages. No score keeping, which is a big plus! Nice bright cards. I've bought several, so I can take them camping or on vacation.

Great card game for family night. A lot of fun

My family and I have been enjoying this game for decades. So much fun!

We have played skipbo for years. We recently bought two new sets. They both starting separating within two games. We have never had this issue and have literally worn the cards out in the past. They are certainly not being made the same. They have gone up almost 40% within the last 18 months and the quality is very substandard.

Once a week I get together with some friends. We eat too much, drink just enough, and then play a couple of games of Skip Bo to warm up for a few games of Bananagrams.Skip Bo is a very simple game to learn. You've got cards numbered 1 through 12, plus Skip Bo (wild) cards. You build piles from 1 to 12. When someone new joins us, it takes about two minutes to explain the game.Once you've learned the basics, then you can start figuring out strategy. I've been playing for about a year and I finally feel like I'm honing my game now. It's fun to watch my friends figure out which cards to discard and which ones to play, based on everyone else's cards that they can see. Sometimes we'll play well with others, and sometimes we'll shoot ourselves in the foot to keep someone else from playing a card. And when one person is down to one last card, everyone else gangs up on that person, shouting strategy across the table to keep that person from winning.During the day they seem like such nice people!When we get an even number of people we'll play in teams. Suddenly the folks who weren't shy at all about shouting across the table are communicating with teammates with a sly look, a raised eyebrow, or an itchy nose.Everyone brings a deck of Skip Bo cards, and we've each marked the backs of our cards with different color markers. When we've got too many people for just one deck, we can play with two decks and split them up at the end of the night.
