Finally a tutorial that actually is clear and simple to follow, thank you for this, I got this for my mother for her birthday, she used to play it so much and forgot how to play so this really helped. Thank you so much!
You're welcome! Glad to hear the video was easy to follow. Happy birthday to your mother, enjoy the game!! 🎉🎊🥳
This is almost just like the game of solitaire; only, it's not played solitarily.
It's based on Spite and Malice.
Yes it’s skip bo
That's right. I noticed the same
My grandma taught me and my sis this game when we where 11 and 12. Feels great to get back into it over a decade later. Great video
Thank you! Yeah, it's a fun game! Enjoy!
Thumbs UP! Finally, instructions that make sense!
We're playing with a deck of "Skip-Bo Junior" cards, but we'll be playing regular SB now that we have an actual set of instructions (this video). The included game directions left us, more than once, asking "what do we do now?"
From what I can tell, the only difference in a Jr deck is that it goes from 1 to 10, not 12.
Awesome! Glad the video instructions made sense! Haha means a lot coming from someone with a username like yours ;) It's a fun little game, enjoy!
Im confused asf im dumb asf too to comprehend this stuff 😂
Same lol
Me too 😹🙃🙃
Hi! Thanks! Can you tell me which rules apply to the discard pile?
And now I’m trapped playing this game, staring at smash bros wishing real hard
just got introduced to this gamr yesterday and we played a straight 4.5 hrs way past midnight. love it! for some more infos to it i got here and must say thanks, great explanation :) keep on playin'
I don't understand how this is fun exactly? You stack cards sequentially and the first to run out wins and it ends.. I will add however this is by far the most clear explanation on TH-cam.
I already play this alot but i can see how easy it is to understand and you finished the game too! :)
Thing
for stock pile:
2-4 players: 30 cards
5-6 players: 20 cards
medium game: 15 cards
short game: 10 cards
express game: 5 cards
that's the best explanation on youtube so far :) thanks
Sweet! Thank you :) Glad I could help.
Quick question - on the first round, if you do not have a "1" of a "SkipBo" on your stock or in your hand, does the game just go around player to player, discarding one and redrawing on your next turn until someone can start a build pile?
Yeah I think that's what you should do
I also play it like that
Thank u! I have been trying for so long to learn this game, now I finally can play it!
Thank you very much! Thanks of you I finally understood rules of this game. You are cool! ⭐
You're welcome! Glad I could help! Enjoy the game :)
Thank you so much you're a great teacher! Stay positive and healthy if you can including all who watch this video 😄
Nicely done. The graphics you added were very helpful. Thank you. And Happy New Year!
Wait, so you don't even have to finish your discard piles nor your hand?! Btw, it might have been good to include a switch of the centre building piles, cause now it seems like, how did she get rid of that 12?!
The colours are basically meaningless in this game ... unless you want to play on "Hard Mode", in which players must match colour for colour on the building pile. Go on, try it, I dare you!
Impossible in the decks I’ve seen.
1 through 4 are blue, 5-8 are green, and 9-12 are red.
So you’d never be allowed to play a 5.
Excellent tutorial 👏🏼👏🏼
We’re new to this game and our question is:
What occurs when neither a Skip Bo or “1” are not dealt in either of the five cards distributed and not on players discard piles because there are no discard piles? How do you go about getting a Skip Bo or “1” to start the game?
This happened to us when we played it for the first time today. What we did is just continued to discard and draw one card each until somebody got to Skipbo or a 1.
i've always wanted to play this cause i have it but seeing it played looked confusing now i get it
Thank you, very helpful 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Best explanation me and my family played and we had a blast
Omg short sweet and understandable👍
I agree
What are the rules for building and discard piles? Do card colors or value matter?
- In skip-bo, card colors and values do not matter but the building piles do need to be in sequential order.
- At the end of every turn you must discard one card into a discard pile
- You can have up to 4 discard piles
- On your turn you can use as many cards as you want from the discard piles
- You have to use the top cards of the piles first before you can use the ones underneath.
Let me know if there is still something unclear, have fun! :)
@@WordofAdviceTV It seems we were playing it incorrectly for way too long. A player can only discard 1 card per turn in the discard piles? Why would they not put down all the cards in their hand in order to keep picking up another set of 5 to keep the play going?
@@ceinhorn That's just the rules :) But I am a big fan of modifying a game's rules to one's own liking! Just play the way which is the most enjoyable for you and family/friends!
From what I've seen, the colors simply distinguish if the card's number is low (1-4), medium (5-8), or high (9-12).
This makes it a little easier when looking for the right card to add to a stack.
Love this game I’m crazy lucky at it I can go through my pile of cards and my opponent still has 20 left and we’ve played this for about 3-4 years so we be both know effective strategies
How can I have strategies in this game, it’s all about luck
Nice game, good tutorial, but SO MANY PILES!!
So nice very understandable and makes it way better to play skip. bo
It was so hard for me thx
TYSM 😇
Best explanation ever! Thx so much it really helped
Happy to hear it! :) Enjoy the game!
Yes me and my family did! We watched the video while playing 😀 Such a great video
Awesome! We used to play that game all the time! We have since moved on to Rook, Ticket to Ride, and Splendor. (in that order) Our all time favorite is classic Go-Fish though heheh
Yes same with us haha
This game is too random and it is super annoying. Here are some ways to balance the game and reduce chance :
- The player who starts is the one with the biggest number in his stockpile
- Ability to automatically discard any same number than the reserve card (without endind the turn)
- Ability to discard 2 identical cards (or even more: 3/4/5)
(Also try this : Anyone can use anyone discard pile)
Everyone changed Uno Rules to make it better, I don't see why we shouldn't do it with Skip-Bo.
Thumb up !
Modifying game rules is the way to go! :) Thank you for the suggestions!
Fortnite
Thanks for the explanation but...
Is that how you shuffle the cards?
Lol, that's how I shuffle the cards in that video ;)
That's how my husband shuffles🤣😂🤣😂
Haha he's figured it out too! it's the only actually effective method ;)
@@WordofAdviceTV 😁 that's with any deck of cards not just skip-bo 😂😂
Thanks for the explanation man
clearly explained. good job!
Thanks for this! So in the beginning, if you can’t play at all, do you just discard one and then the other person plays?
Then what we have to do blank cards
Another twist to the game to make it less boring and slow paced: Deal 5 cards to each player face down, all players look at their hand at the same time, they all start playing at the same time, in this game you decide if the sequence on a building pile has to be the same color. Everyone can play over every building pile, until no moves can be made (not ignoring the 1 card that has to be discarded) then you deal another 5 cards, and so on. That makes it frenetic, just like Dutch Blitz but a different version. The winner is whoever gets rid of the stock pile first (just as original skip-bo)
That sounds fun! Thank you for sharing. It almost sounds like the game "speed" :)
Thank you this made it super ezy
best one on youtube
thank you word of advice Tv for your like.
This helped so much thanks!
Any rules regarding discard pile? Can we put cards in any order?
is it ok to use 2 skip bo's in a row? like 5, skip bo, skip bo, 8, 9 etc
Yes, it's okay to use multiple skip-bo cards in a row :)
Heck, you could even use ten in a row if you were lucky enough to pick up that many!
Thank you! Very helpful
Awesome! Glad it helped! Have fun!

Question~ if you use all the cards in the stock pile but you still have cards in your hand do you still win?? Or do you need to use all the cards in your hand??
Yes. To win the game a player needs to only play all the cards in their stock pile. The cards in the hand or the discard piles don't need to be used.
@@WordofAdviceTV perfect thank you so much 💕
Great tutorial!!!
How see if both of us the first set cards dont hv neither 1 or skipbo
I don't get how you use the stock pile
Thank you 👍
Can I place an skibbo card on my saving pile!?
so in this ex the player on the right won correct?
That is correct 👍
Best advice
Major debate in my family about the discard pile: in your video it says that you MUST discard at the end of your turn, after you’ve exhausted your turn or you want to end your turn. My mother in law says that at the beginning of your turn - if you don’t have something to play or you want to end your turn then you discard. But if you do play cards you don’t have to discard… who is right? I mean my mother in law is “always right” but really who’s playing the game right?
UH... No. Going back to UNO.
thanks thats a great explanation :)
Glad I could help! :)
Great tutorial but hurried card should not be exposed.
We are not supposed to get rid of discarded cards and cards left in hand?
No just the stock pile
This is just SPite and Malice only more expensive.
But what if no one has a 1 or skip bo card in their hand when they first start?
Then you would put one card in a discard pile and end your turn. On the next turn, you would pick up a new card, if you still don't have a one or a skip-bo, you again, put one card in the discard pile and end your turn. Until you get the right card.
Word of Advice TV Thanks! :-)
What if the draw pile runs out with no stack
When u buy there is 165 cards idk if that possible
Did you just assume my new favourite game
THIS GAME, PLAYED BY THE DIRECTIONS IS BORING AT BEST! (unless you are young or playing with someone young or old)
Try this version... REVERSE SKIP-BO! Its played just as shown in the video but with a twist! Instead of just creating building piles that go from 1 then 2 then 3 then 4 and so on to 12.... try this. Building piles still start with 1 but from there you can play a 2 or a 12. So you can go 1 then 12 then 11 then 10 then 11 then 10 again! What this does it to open up the dynamics of the game. No longer will you be playing a simple game of "checker" but now the new version of REVERSE SKIP-BO is like playing "chess"
We dealed out 15 cards into our stock piles in this example. Took us about 20 minutes to finish the game. Very fun game and easy to learn! Let me know if you still have some questions about the gameplay! We did the tutorial on the most popular way to play Skip-Bo. There are other ways to play like team Skip-Bo or Points Skip-Bo. This version is our favorite though!
Last night, we tried to play with 6 people. Our draw pile was gone before we made the rounds. What did we do wrong?
@@silviaalfaro8830 How many cards were dealt to each player to start? Maybe decrease that. Also, had any piles of 1 - 12 been completed? If so, simply shuffle those and put them back into the draw pile.
Dealing 5 to each player at the start does not seem to be in the official rule book. As per the rule book, everybody starts with empty hands and first player draws 5, and if he can play all 5 from his hand, he can immediately draw another 5 etc. either way, it’s fun and thanks for the video.
where did you it
I got it from Target probably about 7 years ago
you can't expose buried discard cards. That is against the rules that I learned
Thank you. This is a good explanation. The Mattel official explanation sheet is atrocious.
it helps ...................... thanks
It can easily be played with 3 simple card games, no ?
No because you need the skip bo cards and you need l62 cards
*SKIP-BO:* UNO Next Generations: The Anime
Is it me or is this just solitaire with 2 people
But in phone you have to pile 5 or 10 or 15 or 20 or 25 or 30.
There are variations. Just like there is more than one way to play UNO ;)
SKIP!
BO!
BGM name?
the best game ever in the world, if you like this game give the comment a thumbs up.
Yes I won!
So it’s basically multiplayer solitaire?
I wish you would've done real time so I can understand how to use the discard pile
Sorry, it would have been a very long video. What part do you not understand? I can try to briefly explain:
You can have up to 4 discard piles.
There is no limit to how many cards you can have in the discard piles.
Every turn you must put 1 card into a discard pile.
You can use as many discard cards as you want during your turn to help you get rid of your stock pile,
BUT you can only use the top card of each discard pile.
Word of Advice TV when you discard a card does it have to go in ascending or descending order, and what about when I have a discard card that doesn't go in order with any of the piles and I have no more spaces? So I set it anywhere ? If so can I use the pile behind it ? Or do I have to get rid of that one card first before using the pile ?
You can discard any card you want, in any order. It does not need to be ascending or descending. For example: in one pile you can put down a 9, then a 5 on top of it, then a 12, then a 2. You can kind of see an example of that at 2:58
And yes, in each discard pile, you must use the top card(the most recent one you put in that pile) before you can use the one under it. You cannot take any cards from the bottom.
Word of Advice TV awesome. Thank so much
Its a fun little game, enjoy! :)
Ich glaube die Spielen zum 2. Mal Skipbo...
solitarie: not solitarie
I don't get it.
This video was extremely confusing. Slow down!
There is a thing called the “PAUSE” button.
In what order?? This explained nothing
🤪
I don’t think your playing it right. You can only have one pile by the deck.
Not the right way to shuffle cards, that one in the video is messy
this game is impossible to learn/play
I read the directions once then taught my friend
Skip-bo on Amazon: amzn.to/2jt9rcy
You talk to fast.
Sounds boring
your not playing right
maybe you're not playing right
