Mattel Games Skip-Bo Card Game for Kids, Adults & Family Night, Travel Game in Collectible Storage Tin for 2-6 Players [Amazon Exclusive]

I had never played Skip-Bo before, so Im reviewing this as a newcomer to the game. I sat down with my 7-year-old and we studied the rules and played some practice rounds to figure it out. It took us about 30 minutes before we understood it enough to play properly. Skip-Bo is more complicated than UNO, and slower paced, but still fun (although my 7-year-old definitely prefers UNO). At first, it seems really complicated with all the various stacks of cards and the rules that govern each stack, but its pretty simple once you get the hang of it. It does take an hour or two of play before you start to figure out how to strategize with the various piles in the game. You can see some of the other players cards, so you can choose to play certain cards that will help your progress and hinder their progress.

Love these, especially the tin they come in

The game is fun but it should have had a box around the tin as the Uno game tin did.

Very good card game for young at heart.

We love SkipBo. If you can count to 12 you can play this game. 2 players minimum and 4 is a lot of fun. Havent tried more players but I think it works for up to 5. This edition is in a metal case with foam packing to keep the cards tidy. My case was a bit dented. I prefer to use light elastic to hold the cards into stacks of 3 and keep them in a paper box mine came in. Great for even younger ages (*?). WE play it backwards going from 12-1 when we want a challenge. I gift this to everyone!

Play this game a lot and so much fun

Definitely packable cards are in a metal case.

Its so hard to find games that work well for just two players, Skip-bo fits the bill! My adult daughter and I play games every night and are always looking for good 2-player games. While many say they are for 2, they often work better with more. Skip-bo was super easy to learn, while also having some aspects where you get better, the more you play. Theres definitely a luck element, but just enough skill to keep it interesting. Weve been playing this nightly for the past month or so, and were still learning and not sick of it yet.

Its a great family game, love the idea they come in this box, easy to travel without damage. I send this as a gift

Skipbo is my moms favorite game, and she loves to play it EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. As someone with dementia, its important for her to have an activity that is enjoyable and helps to pass the time. The cards are fairly good quality, but we do end up buying a new set 2 or 3 times a year. I really like the metal keepsake box these come in, but only the first set I purchased came with a form insert for holding the cards. After that, they cheaped out and went with a flimsy paper insert, AND increased the price. Otherwise, Id have given this 5 stars.
