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".
