Mattel Games SKIP BO Card Game

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!

This is the type game that most companies yearn for. It's easy to learn, it can be played and enjoyed by both children and adults, and it's playing time can be varied by the number of cards in your deck. Hint, if you go with the game's instructions of 25 cards per player, then you've got a longer game. We tend to use a 15 card deck. The rules are easy enough for the younger members of the family to understand and play well, yet not be overly tedious for the adults. Granted, this means that there's not a ton of strategy involved. You just play the cards as they are drawn. On the plus side, this means that adults can readily carry on conversations and visit and not have to focus on watching what other players are doing for the sake of a winning strategy. Again, ... when it comes your turn, you just play the cards as they are drawn, then go back to pleasant conversation.

This is probably my 3rd deck, as well as I've given as gifts too. Play with one other or many. Once a week I have friends come for game night, we play lots of different games but this is our go to when we don't want to think a lot, when we don't have a lot of time, as you can change the amount of cards in the piles to make a shorter game play and when we can't decide which game we want to play. We probable play 20 different games but this one the most by far. It's fun easy to learn, the hardest part is the shuffling and counting out the 30 cards to get rid of piles.

I grew up in a family that played a lot of games. I have always loved all the UNO products and this game is by far, my favorite! As my parents are older now, they enjoy playing this in the evening. It is a game for all ages and it does involve strategy, so it's not just geared towards children. We have hours of entertainment with Skipbo. I have a set, my parents have a set and my daughter also has a set of cards. You can never have too many Skipbo games in the family. I also brought it to work and played with my co-workers. Love, love, love this game!

This is a great card game,

We've been playing it nightly (husband and me). We deal out only 20 cards (plus the 5) and play 3 games a nite, keeping score. So, it's he wins most games...but if I can get a win of TWO GAMES in one night...I practically die from exhilaration. (Doesn't happen on most nights...maybe once or twice. Rare. If I get ONE game won, I'm pretty happy. IT's THE CHALLENGE OF IT ALL THAT KEEPS ME ASKING TO PLAY EVERY NIGHT! MY DAY wiLL surely come!)It's not exactly 'bible typing monkies' ... although it is a simple game in concept. BUT, I am always challenged...do I try to block him (and disadvantage myself) or do I concentrate on simply working to get rid of my own up card? There's a balance there, I think. But, what do I know? I usually lose. Give this game a try: what have you got to lose?
