Mattel Games SKIP BO Card Game

SKIP-BO is a very fun game for kids to learn. It is very easy, makes time feel faster, and it's easy to set up.

Great game at a great price. It's really fun for all ages. No score keeping, which is a big plus! Nice bright cards. I've bought several, so I can take them camping or on vacation.

Good quality used many times holds up well.

Fun easy card game for game night.

This is the type game that most companies yearn for. It's easy to learn, it can be played and enjoyed by both children and adults, and it's playing time can be varied by the number of cards in your deck. Hint, if you go with the game's instructions of 25 cards per player, then you've got a longer game. We tend to use a 15 card deck. The rules are easy enough for the younger members of the family to understand and play well, yet not be overly tedious for the adults. Granted, this means that there's not a ton of strategy involved. You just play the cards as they are drawn. On the plus side, this means that adults can readily carry on conversations and visit and not have to focus on watching what other players are doing for the sake of a winning strategy. Again, ... when it comes your turn, you just play the cards as they are drawn, then go back to pleasant conversation.

Super fun game!!!

This is one of many games I have recently purchased in the pursuit of games a wide range of ages can enjoy. To give you some perspective, the ages of my household are 5, 7, 10, 33, and 37 with a 15 year old in the Summer. I picked up this one because we have a lot of fun with Uno. It has not disappointed. Sure enough, the game is easy enough that all of us can play and play well-- the five year old has actually beaten us a few times. The ONLY thing I would say about this game as a drawback is that game play can go way long. We noticed in the instructions it suggests an alternative method using a stockpile of only 10 cards versus the 30 and we will be going this route in the future. 30 is just way too many and drags on. Still, the game is easy to tweak, easy to learn, and fun to play.
