Toys and Games Reviews of Skip-Bo Deluxe Card GameCustomer Review: The Perfect Card Game When Family Or Friends Get Together Summary: 5 Stars
Created by the makers of Uno, Skip Bo has that great "lets play" feeling. It combines skill, strategy and, in some cases, a lot of luck. The players try to be the first to use up all the cards in their Stock Pile by playing them on Building Piles in numerical sequence, 1 through 12. On the end of your turn though, you must discard a card on one of YOUR OWN discard piles (max of four). Here is where you MUST use all your skills and strategy since you will be able to use only the card on the top of each pile in combination with your hand cards to deplete your Stock Pile. Cool, huh? Well it gets better! Skip Bo cards act as Wild Cards to add excitement to play. Use them correctly and you could be making all these combinations while your opponents sit there watching your Stock Pile get smaller and smaller wondering that your IQ is must be over 140. And nothing beats the look on their faces you turn over your last Stock Pile card to discover it was a Skip Bo card. It's like winning in Texas Hold-em on the river card. OUCH! You will have awesome fun playing this game. And even tough it's a game with numbers; you do not have to sit quietly while the players think. Au contraire, talking, laughing and making jokes is just part of the fun. What's not to love about this game?
DELUXE EDITION: This edition is very nice with a score pad, card tray and a game board that has reserved spaces designed for the four Building Piles and Discard Piles for up to four players. Since Skip Bo can be played with up to six players the Deluxe Edition Board falls a little short. I do believe this edition is still worth buying. It is perfect for up to four players and very useful in keeping a place for the Building piles if played by more. Great game, great edition, extremely educational and lots and lots of fun. Worthy of a Greatest Games Ever Made Award. Have Fun!
