Good morning, welcome back to HomeschoolWithBoardGame Skip-Bo. Even though Skip-Bo isn’t a Board Game but a Card Game we still use this in Homeschool.
Charlie choose Skip-Bo in memory of my mom who used to love to play Skip-Bo and Uno. She would keep you up all night playing if she could. To make sure you didn’t fall asleep she would give you Coffee until you would float away. Just ask David.
Skip-Bo is the ultimate sequencing card game from the makers of UNO! Players use skill and strategy to create stacks of sequentially numbered, ascending cards (2,3,4…) until they have no more left to play.
Once everyone is dealt their own personal stockpile of cards, play begins by drawing from a central pile and building up to four “build” piles. The Skip-Bo “wild” cards break up static situations and may be played as any number.
Use these cards wisely, for they can really help you beat your opponents! The first player to deplete all of his or her Skip-Bo stockpile cards is the winner! Includes 162 cards and instructions. Colors and decorations may vary.
