Vibe's take

Brisk and a little chaotic, with sudden swings whenever a well-timed Skip-Bo wildcard unlocks a pile everyone else was stuck on.

About this game

Skip-Bo has you racing to empty a 30-card stockpile onto four shared building piles that climb from 1 to 12. Hand cards, discard piles, and your precious Skip-Bo wildcards all feed into the sequence, and the first to clear their stockpile wins.
