Objective
The primary objective of Skip-Bo is to be the first player to eliminate all cards from your Stock Pile by strategically placing them in the Building Piles. The game accommodates 2 to 6 players, providing flexibility for various group sizes.
Cards
Skip-Bo features 162 cards, comprising two types – numbered cards (1-12) and Skip-Bo cards, serving as wild cards. Numbered cards are color-coded into blue (1-4), green (5-8), and red (9-12). The colors are aesthetic, with only the numerical value influencing gameplay.
