10.0/10
I grew up playing this game nearly 5 games per day in the summer as a child… now my problem is finding 3 willing participants to play now, because the fun begins when you start playing as teams!

Description
Each player is dealt a stockpile of 30 cards. The winner will be whoever manages to empty their stockpile first. Cards are played onto four shared building piles in numerical sequence from 1 to 12. On each turn, a player draws until they have five cards in their hand, and then plays cards from: their hand, a top card of their discard piles, or their stockpile. At the end of their turn, a player must discard onto one of their four personal discard piles. Strategy involves the organizing of cards into the discard piles, care in not setting up the next players for good plays, knowing when to play from which option, and especially the timing of playing a valuable "Skip-bo" wildcard.
Skip-bo is based on the traditional card game named Spite & Malice.

I never get tired of Skip-Bo. It scratches the Dutch Blitz itch for me - a favorite family game growing up that doesn't work for 2 players.

A very fun game! It looks like a complex game, but it isn’t! You should use your brain to play it, but it’s so fun! I recommend you to play Skip-bo. It’s one of my favorite board games.

Find this to be under-rated as far as card games go. I think it is miles ahead of fun when compared to something like uno. I usually play in a more strategic way so I can have my big moments and clean sweeps.
