RULES:
The object of the game is to have the fewest points at the end. The game ends once 1 player gets 100 or more points. Shuffle the deck and deal 12 cards to each player, which they keep in a 3 by 4 facedown grid in front of them, without looking at them. Place the remainder of the deck face down in the middle of the table as a draw deck. Discard the top card to form a discard pile. Each player flips over any 2 cards in their grid.
Players add their 2 cards together and the player with highest sum goes first, then play proceeds clockwise. On your turn, draw the top card from either the draw deck or discard pile. If you take the card from the discard, then you must swap it for any card in your grid. Whenever you swap a card in your grid, you place the new card faceup in its place and discard the swapped card. You may not look at a facedown card before swapping it.
If you draw a card from the draw deck, then you may swap it for a card in your grid, if you want, or you may discard it. If you discard the drawn card, then you must then flip 1 card in your grid faceup. If ever a column of 3 cards has 3 identical cards, it is called a triplet. You must immediately discard the entire column of the triplet to the discard pile. The triplet is discarded on top of your discarded or swapped card. You must always discard a revealed triplet, even if you don’t want to.
Once one player has all 12 of the cards in their grid faceup, then every other player gets 1 final turn then the round ends. Now, all players flip any remaining facedown cards in their grid faceup, removing any revealed triplets, then adds all their remaining faceup cards together. If the player who ended the round doesn’t have the lowest sum, then they receive double their total points they would have normally received, unless their total is zero or below, then they do not double them.
Each player’s sums are added to their score on a scoresheet, and if a player has 100 or more points, then the game ends and the player with the fewest points wins. If not, then play another round with the player who ended the previous round going first in the next round. Repeat this process until there is a winner.
Thanks for this! Bought the game a few weeks ago, and love it even though I just learned we'd been missing something.
Thought that you could only exchange with a face down one in front of you, not knowing you could get rid of those face up big ones.
That said, we had that and an adaption to 5 rows, and zero cards being wildcards to help complete a row of three.
Very underrated game. I LOVE this game.
From Uno. Dos, Ono 99, Skip-Bo, Trashed, Exploding Kittens, Playing Cards, and Phase 10…
None of those is by the same designer?
Uno, dos, Ono 99, skip-bo and phase 10 are all made by mattel
@@OrdinarySonicfanMmKay I'm pretty sure ono99, skip-bo, and phase 10 were made as competitors and then bought by mattel
You should check out Skyjo Action too! It's the same game but it has action cards to enhance gameplay. 😊
Souds interesting...
What happens if you combine the fallowing card games
Uno
Dos
Can anyone make a variant combining the 2 together?
Thank you for this video I love skyjo
Is this just a variation of Golf?
Either way you can use ORDINARY carfs
carfs
Yes, it is a variation of golf. Many games does take inspiration from old games and added some improvements. I believe trash was actually a variation from another old card game.
I will say tho, the addition of -2 and -1, plus the higher 11 and 12 point does make this a little bit better. Not only that, but able to remove an entire column of card can change a lot.
You can kinda replicate these effect using 2 deck of card, but that is still kinda tiny compared to 150 cards in the deck. You are also still missing negative numbers.
What@@hamizannaruto said, and most times the specific game decks are just easier for small children and elderly family to understand when there's no suits, just values or colours.
@@blue_ranger I will add one more thing. The theme of the cards. While a lot of card games are abstract, there is a few game that has a clear theme, and certain deck help.
This was a case with regicide. A game that can be played entirely with regular deck, even the creators said do, but their deck actually has art of knight and bosses that helps with the theme. It does not just help with the kids, but actually give some life into the game.
Tho yeah, this point if unrelated to this game, but I thought it worth mentioning
.
@@hamizannarutoif you want 150 cards use 3 decks.
But do you need that many?
As for minus values, assign them to the picture cards like in trash and golf.
Do you actually need minus cards?
As for theme, what theme?
Hate when I give my family the good cards unwittingly, but it’s so sweet when it happens to them 😈
Reminds me a bit of that one Monopoly card game where you trade cards with a discard pile.
Skyjo’s bizarre adventure
This is like the card game Low Down but different.
Wow, this game actually sounds fun can aNyone tell me what the deck consists of?
Took me a while to find the instruction manual, but this is what it contains.
150 total cards and 1 score card.
The cards are
-2 card (5 cards)
0 card (15 cards)
-1, 1 to 12 (10 cards each)
@@hamizannaruto what you said is 50 cards not 150
@@Negreb25 1 to 12 is 10 cards each.
That's already 120 cards.
Plus -1 cards, that's another 10.
Then add the remaining 0 and -2 cards, which is 15 and 5 cards respectively.
120+10+5+15= 150.
@@Negreb25”1 to 12” means all numbers ranging from 1 to 12. So 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12 are all considered
@@hamizannaruto ohh my bad 😅
1:20 wow! (he picked up 3 cards in one!)
Oh, it's like the card game "Golf".
The win condition just same as hearts
The rules are the same as regular trash playing card game except for these changes.
For a refresher of the rules, check out this video
tbh this seems like it doesn’t play like trash playing cards
It does not play the same as trash. Trash is mostly a luck based game, with the special card are the only one that effect your choices.
This is mainly plays on what's card you wanna keep. Low cards help your score low, but high card has a high chance to being drop, allowing for more 3 in a row, a total removal of points. There choices here and there.
It's is like playing a 6,8 or 9 card golf to me and not trashed
"If its a tie, then the younger player goes first."
Me who is playing with my twin:
Ohh😮
So Golf but with more cards
We played a 3 player game. I revealed all my card in round 1 and my score was 13. Others were 7,11,14. Will my score double or not. Please help.
If you were the first person to reveal all your cards, then yes, your score will double. If someone else revealed all their cards first, then no, your score doesn't double.

Kinda like Go Low Huh?
