DGA Reviews: Skip-Bo (Ep. 200)

Skip-Bo Board Game Review

[mariekeschepers]

hello, ad 5.30: if you pit the '11' on the '10' and the skibo-card on the skibo-card, you have to pick up 5 new cards in your hand in this same turn, and you can still repeat your turn

This was the perfect refresh on how to play this game. Thank you

THIS GAME, PLAYED BY THE DIRECTIONS IS BORING AT BEST! (unless you are young or playing with someone young or old)
Try this version... REVERSE SKIP-BO! Its played just as shown in the video but with a twist! Instead of just creating building piles that go from 1 then 2 then 3 then 4 and so on to 12.... try this. Building piles still start with 1 but from there you can play a 2 or a 12. So you can go 1 then 12 then 11 then 10 then 11 then 10 again! What this does it to open up the dynamics of the game. No longer will you be playing a simple game of "checker" but now the new version of REVERSE SKIP-BO is like playing "chess"

Great description on how to play the game. Thanks!

From your discard pile do you have to take the one on the top of each pile? Could you use those that are on second or third... in your discard pile?

[susanbrunson]

I'm confused.  Why did you discard the red 11 when it could be played on the red 10?  I'm trying to teach children.

[naquelross]

wow that was way helpful. But how do set up the building pile?

[skyblazeeterno]

god i never even realised that the colours of the card are meaningless as such...no wonder I had a problem playing this...what an idiot i am

[cerystalgaming]

what cards do you put on your discard pile? my stock or my hand?

rubber band the cards when you put them in the box
