... either 30 or 20 cards depending on how many people are playing, and the aim of the game is to get rid of the cards. The rest of the cards form the 'draw pile'. The top card of a players stock pile is put face up. The first person takes 5 cards from this pile, and can place these cards down in up to four piles on the playing table. To start a pile the payer must put down a 1, and ony a 2 can be placed on top of that, and a 3 on top of that and so on. A players aim is to get rid of their stock pile by using the top car...more

This game looked awfully complicating when glancing at the instructions, and because of this, this birthday gift was left in the corner for quite a while, but eventually something inspired my sister and I to give it a try. This game first became commercially available in Texas in the 1960s, and is based on the old card game 'Spite and Malice' (also known as Cat and Mouse). There are 162 cards, 18 of which are 'SKIP-BO' cards which the player can use to represent any number, the rest of the cards are numbered 1 to 12. Each player has a stock card pile which contains either 30 or 20 cards depending on how many people are playing, and the aim of the ... Read the complete review

Skip-Bo – a funny name for a card game, isn’t it? I admit that I thought the same when I first saw it. I must have been about six years of age and my great-aunt gave it to me for my birthday. I preferred games I knew from nursery or TV so I wasn’t too keen first – but soon I started to love that game and so I do still today, nearly 16 years later. Skip-Bo has been played in families for more than 40 years now, but surprisingly it’s not half as popular as for example Uno is and it is suitable for 2 to 6 players from 7 years of age. The age recommendation sounds fine to me; I played it around that age and never had any trouble with the rules. But what’s ... Read the complete review

Sitting in a quiet village pub one day a few years ago, a friend and myself sat watching a group of people playing a game of cards. We chatted about the usual things .. husbands, kids, the weather (well maybe not this one but you know what I mean!) and then ran out of conversation. (First time ever for me probably … must have been a bad day!!) So … instead of sitting there twiddling our thumbs we went over to the group playing cards and asked if we could join in. This caused us two problems … firstly the group looked at us and said pardon in rather broken English, great they were Germans and how much German did myself and my friend know?? Zilch! ...
