Skyjo Action

Flip twelve cards, chase the lowest score, sabotage whoever leads.

Published by

Skyjo Action is the card game where you race to flip the lowest hand of twelve cards, now with action and joker cards that let you swap, force flips and sabotage the player quietly running away with it.

Who it's for

Groups of four or five who want card luck with just enough decision-making to argue about afterwards.

Not for you if…

You dislike take-that effects or want results driven mostly by skill – the draw pile has a loud opinion here.

Vibe's take

Quick and needling – you spend the round praying for a minus two while watching someone else's column line up.
