Fun but bad card quality
My kids introduced me for some month ago. I love it but I have never experienced such bad quality on the cards. Almost all cards are destroyed and it is very difficult to mix the cards without breaking them. Very sad for such a good game otherwise.

Try holding the cards when you're left handed
The game is nice, but there is a problem when you are left handed. If you hold the cards in your hand it is impossible to see the numbers on the cards. Is there a version with numbers in any corner like normal playing cards?

Greatest comeback in Skip Bo history!!!
On this day, Dec 20, 2017, I completed the greatest comeback in Skip Bo history! I was playing with my wife and her grandmother and my wife had like five cards left in her stockpile while I had about 22 card and left and I came back and won the game! Strategy and guile can win out over a near-perfect hand, just remember to keep your composure and your wits about you ...

Difficult to Read Wild Cards
This is a classic game the seniors at the nursing home love to play, but the wild Skip-Bo card looks too similar to the back of the card. They have difficulty distinguishing which side is the front vs the back. These are seniors who have played Skip-Bo for many years and prefer the older (unfortunately well worn) decks.

Garish Colored Cards
My family has been playing Skip Bo for many years. In the last couple of years when I went to replace worn decks, all I can find is the changed colors. Why change what has been working? Currently, I play with my geriatric aunts, mother-in-law and mother. They are put off by the new colors. They have refused to play, now because they say the colors, "Hurt my eyes."

Fun game for all ages
We've been playing Skip Bo for years as a family and with friends. I grew up playing board games and card games with my family and have kept the tradition alive with my children. Computers, electronics, and video games are not all evil and we have a ton of all of them but there is a time to disconnect, unplug, and just have fun around the table as a family. We do this o...

Skip-Bo
I have played this game for years with my friends (couples). Our adult children have moved with my grandchildren out of town and we stay in touch via computers. But when they come home, we spend quality time playing games. Skip-bo and uno are now our favorites. Matel's delivery was quick.

Missing Cards
I love this game, but yesterday I opened a brand new, unopened set and there are 2 12's missing. There are 18 Skip-Bo cards and 12 each of numbers 1 through 11, as there should be, but only 10 12's. Very disappointing and frustrating.

Another Great Card Game.
This card game is fun for all ages. I bought this for a fun family card game. Great game for teaching children how to multi-task as there are many card stacks to create simultaneously.

Skipbo
The product pictured is blue and red. The product received was green and orange! With research, I learned that Mattel changed the colors two years ago. They have a right to do that (though I greatly preferred the older color scheme), BUT they should have changed the picture on their web site to reflect the new colors that would be delivered. I was unable to get an excha...
