Players use skill and strategy to create stacks of sequentially numbered,

from a central pile and building up to four “build” piles
The Skip-Bo “wild” cards break up static situations and may be played as any number
The first player to deplete all of his or her Skip-Bo stockpile cards is the winner

@cfg83 wow, almost forgot about this game. i’ve never played it, but my parents would play it when they had friends over when i was little. fond memories actually.
@cfg83 I forgot about Coup Fourre! After reading about it I bought a deck and played it with my adult brothers and sisters one Christmas. We all enjoyed it as I remember. The deck must still be in a box somewhere.
@tweezak It’s basically the same thing as the game Spades, but played with weird cards for people that have religious objections to standard playing cards. (Really.)
@brennyn@tweezak I didn’t know that. I looked it up and found where someone said this:
Growing up, conventional playing cards were banned in my home. We only used Rook. One only had to open up “Mormon Doctrine” to see why my parents banned the cards. It reads, “Members of the Church should not belong to bridge or other type of card clubs, and they should neither play cards nor have them in their homes. By cards is meant, of course, the spotted face cards used by gamblers. To the extent that church members play cards they are out of harmony with their inspired leaders. Innocent non-gambling games played with other types of cards, except for the waste of time in many instances, are not objectionable.”
@brennyn@Dakini@tweezak This is why my parents never had playing cards, as they tied it to gambling being a sin. They did NOT appreciate when my brother said it wasn’t gambling if you KNEW you were going to win.
@Seeds Why limit yourself to a deck of cards, you can play anything anything with the power of your imagination! And the hit of Acid that’s glued inside the bottom of each of these weird card game boxes (y’know the ones you always see in the closet but end up passing over for something like scrabble or monopoly) to help you your terrible family this holiday season!
True story: I was at a game night at a friend’s house. One of the other guests was a guy named Bo. A bunch of us were looking in the game cabinet to pick a game to play. I noticed Skip-Bo on the shelf. I picked it up, and said, “We could play this…” and then I turned to Bo and said, “… well YOU can’t play this, but the rest of us can.”
“Think of it like analog Jack Off in a Box”
What the heck does that mean?
Oh my bad, forget it. It was that darn speed reading course I bought on sale from some group. I should have gotten my money back.
My family used to play Skip-Bo and Uno for HOURS. And I mean literally for hours - one Christmas I recall going to bed while my siblings were all at the kitchen table playing - and I woke up in the morning to find them all still there, still playing…
One year they got my mom to smoke weed (and my sister played “Funky Town” like 4,000 times in a row) - but that’s a story for another sale…
@Pufferfishy i also played skip bo for hours with one high school friend, and then my senior year of college with my roommates. the deck was always on the kitchen table. we’d sit around smoking and drinking and playing skip bo and it just never got old. i still have the deck, but haven’t played in ages. i would if i could tho!
@Pufferfishy My family as well. Skip-Bo, Rack-O, Uno, Phase 10 as well as about 10,000 other games. My grown daughter is still a yahtzee addict. She does not consider it a game unless you fill out the entire card and add up the scores. When I am not there, she is a Catan addict. My husband (not their dad) and I play a lot of either gin or backgammon. Games run in the family blood.
Can’t believe I missed this! I got sidetracked having to reinstall chrome and when I came back it was sold out! Ugh! What a bummer!
If anyone’s already regretting your order whisper to me and i’ll buy it from you! Thanks!
I missed it at 12:30 because I was reading comments and adding dumb jokes. Bummed out. Then I went to my parents’ house with a sibling to do some cleanup and figured I got back too late for the VMP hold. But no! VMP pays off for once
I meant to order this morning, but got busy/sidetracked and missed it. But for anyone else who missed out, it’s on Side Deal and Morningsave, both for $20. Not as big a deal, but still a deal for Christmas stocking stuffers.

@DoctorOW She looks exactly like my next door neighbor! (Well, one of them does, anyway. The other looks like her mirror image).
At least it is not another power bank!
@glarue That’ll be tomorrow.
@DoctorOW @glarue tomorrow’s gonna be a drone
@akumax @DoctorOW @glarue Seems like they are off drones, last drone was back in August
Quoi, pas de Mille Bornes? Sacre Bleu!

If only you had included the game of campaigns, where everyone cast their cards on the table and the person from the other room yells out the winner.
I can’t 'splain it.

This is awful! Who actually wants to spend time with their family?
@shrewsbury If you’ve been locked up with your family since March you could probably play these without talking or making eye contact.
Can never have enough skipbo in your life:

Perfect stocking stuffers!
I remember seeing Rook in our game closet when I was little - like 50 years ago - but we never played it.

@brennyn @tweezak I didn’t know that. I looked it up and found where someone said this:

@brennyn @Dakini Let me guess, the Church of Latter Day Saints owns all the big table game companies like Parker Brothers.
@brennyn @tweezak I have no idea.
I just thought it was interesting that Rook was created for the reason it was.
Good stocking stuffer for sure
In for one!

@GeneralAnubis Deerhunter’s Bradford Cox!
I have been wondering what to get my newlywed niece and her husband for Christmas. This along with some type of kitchen thing should work very well!

@tnhillbillygal you don’t really like her do you?
@rustyh3 just breaking them in good
Can’t I just use a single regular deck of cards for even more than 5 games?

@Dog19026 I’ve always wondered why anyone would eat food from a restaurant called “Jack in a box,” where they specialize in Jack Sauce!

@jerk_nugget 2 years ago some neighbors invited us to Thanksgiving dinner and they played Uno after - and I absolutely DOMINATED.
We have not been invited back since.

I’ve played Blink a fair amount, it’s a really good quick filler game.
Can’t eat in a restaurant. $15 saved.
Cheap stocking stuffers. $15 spent.

@thenagman Oops, sorry. We wanted our VMP members to have a shot at this too, so we’re holding back the rest of these for them.
