Advantages: easy to understand, never gets boring, interesting for the whole family Disadvantages: ----
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 ... ...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 just as important: It's a game for the whole family, grandparents can play it with their grandchildren and neither side will get bored.
Amazon.co.uk has it in stock for £5.99, a price the game certainly is worth. On the marketplace the by Mattel manufactured game is sold from 4.75 onwards.

Can be a good one to play at a party!
SETTING UP THE GAME
After the deck is shuffled 30 cards are dealt ... ...Only a one or a Skip-Bo card can start a pile. These piles are imaginary until cards have been placed down in play. Players can then build up on these piles in numerical order up to twelve. Once a pile is complete (a twelve is placed on it) it is taken out of play or reshuffled into the DRAW PILE. A new pile is then started with a one again.
DISCARD PILES
These are once again imaginary piles until the game has started. During play each player finishes ...

skip - bo has been going through my family for years. it is a very challenging and fun game. every family reuion we always play. my great grandma is 97 years old and a little shakey but i would have to say she is really good and hard to beat. it is also a very easy game to learn, i have been playing since i was 5 years old. i also have an aunt that is twenty seven years old and has down syndrome. so she has the mind of a four year old but this is ... ...at it. you can get it at just about any store. i know for a fact that they have it at wal - mart. it is similar to uno i guess. just give it a try. and i bet it will become a favorite in your family too. ...
