How to Play SKIP-BO Card Game 2 Player 

Oh my gosh! Thank you so much! We are so happy this was helpful for you!

Yay! Sorry for the late response, but we are so happy we could help! We hope you enjoy the game as much as we do.

This response is so late, but we are so glad our video helped you and your husband! We hope you still enjoying playing it together. ❤

Hahaha 😅 Yes... I'm terrible at seeing things after I've discarded. 🤦‍♀️ And thank you! We're so glad our video was helpful!

Yes!!!!! Me too!!! Only I purchased it for my husband and I 😁 The directions are almost totally useless. Thank goodness for RU-vid 😅🙏 thank you for showing us how to play.

Okay, this response is so late, but we are so happy we could help. And so happy you and your son had so much fun! Thank you so much for your kind, encouraging words. We need to get back at it and make more videos... it's been way too long.

We totally agree... especially right now when getting out for date night can be tough! Thanks for the love and we will definitely be making more two player videos in the future. Let us know if there are any in particular you would like to see.

@@LisaandKyleGetBoard I would even explain your thought processes a little more. How you recommend organizing the discard piles. Question: Do you hold on to wild cards or play them just so you can pick one more card in the next round? Thank you for your help 🥰🙏

@@LisaandKyleGetBoard HI so i am I am new to playing skip-bo, and am in the process of enjoying the game as well as learning the rules and such. I believe the individual that is teaching me, may be wrong and/or confused about one of the rules, regarding a skip-bo (wild-card) and the ways in playing one. The exact situation is this; (hope I can explain it, in terms of understanding) It’s me and him playing only, as it’s his turn, and he puts a skip-bo (wild card) down, in his 4th column in his discard piles. So I ask him, "what care you naming (calling) that wild card as?? he replies " i have not decided yet, but its wild and its in my discard pile, so I can wait to decide what number it will be until I need to" I said that cant be right, bc as soon as a wild card hits the table, it needs to be a numbered card. Its wild (unnumbered) in your hand, but as soon as it makes an appearance, it has to stand for something, it cant stay unaffiliated. Am I being clear in what I am asking? lol love your video!

@adorable3817 This is over 3 years late, but we kinda fell off the face of RU-vid and we're just getting back. I appreciate your feedback of sharing our thought process more and agree. We are trying to improve that because we do think it would be helpful. As for your question... it depends. Most of the time I will keep a wild for when I need it, sometimes even gaining a little stock pile, but there are times when I don't and just want to draw more cards my next turn, or when I have played four from my hand and want to draw five new cards to keep going then I would definitely play it. Everyone has their own strategies and the more you play, the more you figure out yours. I hope that helps!

@staciagoskey381 Sorry this is so late and I truly hope you came to an agreement by now, but now that we are back to playing games I wanted to offer our insight. We had actually never thought of this and so when we looked for an answer we found this in a newer Skip-Bo rule book: "At the end of your turn, you will dicard ANY one card from your hand onto ANY of your discard piles. They do NOT have to be in sequential order.) On your turn you may play the top cards from any of your discard piles onto any of the building piles, if there's an available play." I was totally with you when I read the situation, however it sounds like it is allowed and Kyle thinks your person might be a genius. It's definitely a new strategy to us, but now that we know, it might change the game a bit for us. Hope this was helpful to someone.

Haha. I hope you and your son have enjoyed playing together! I know my husband stopped liking it so much when I started winning every time. 😂

😊 Thank you! We sure do!

Oh I love this! ❤ I hope you're still having so much fun playing together. Happy we could help. 😊

You are so welcome! Happy we could help!

That's awesome. What a great memory. Thank you.

Thank you! We hope you have so much fun playing.

Me too

Sometimes I just miss the boat! 😂 Can I just blame it on tired Mom brain?

Haha! You're next victim. We hope you have an awesome time with Skip-Bo! We haven't heard of Spite and Malice, but it's fun when you can play games you love on devices when you don't have someone (or a victim) to play with.

Thanks for the encouragement... we are thinking of getting back to it. It's been awhile, but we are glad we could help!

We are so happy this was helpful for you! Sorry this response is so late... life got a bit crazy. We are going to start up again and our first video will absolutely be Phase 10! Thanks for the suggestion!

You are most welcome!

Yay! We hope you love it and happy we could help. 😅

We're glad it was helpful!

Awww... thank you! 😊 And you're welcome.

A bit late, but we are working on doing just that! Thanks for the encouragement. 😊

You're so welcome!

Awww. 😊 Thank you! We happy it was helpful.

Super happy we were helpful!

Yay! Hope you love it! Sorry for the late reponse and we're glad this was helpful.

You're welcome!

We're glad you think so!

Absolutely agree... it was our first video and we were super nervous... hopefully we'll get better with time. 😅 Happy it was helpful!

You're welcome. And thank you.

Great question. If no one has a 1 or a skip-bo you just keep taking turns drawing and discarding until someone can go. Does that make sense? Hopefully that helps... and sorry this response is so late. 😅

You are so welcome!

Uno is a very similar game and great fun as you can directly influence other players hands / cards

This is super late, but a few of our favorites from when we were newlyweds (besides the ones you have) are Tenzi, Gubs, Sorry, Settlers of Catan, and Dicecapades. 😊

You're most welcome!

She didn’t draw because she placed her last card on the discard rather than build. Ie she couldn’t move so had to discard her last card. He however was able to play every card so picked up 5 more. Playing your own discard pile is optional so you play tactically.

hi

Wow

I do feel like we are generally pretty good at catching that type of thing, but apologize if we missed a couple. We were a bit nervous. 😅 Hopefully it didn't make the instructions confusing.

You can play Skip-Bo with 2-6 players. 😊

Oooo... great suggestion. We'll have to learn it so we can make a video. 😅

i think that’s when you get to draw 5 more and keep playing

@@gabidoo9304 That's exactly it-- if you use all 5 cards in hand in a turn, you get to draw 5 more and keep going; turn only ends when you cannot play a card (whether advancing in the stock pile, playing from your hand, or playing from a discard pile); you then discard one to a discard pile (possibly to later be played if space is available).

Yes you can. Me and my boo play it and we love it. ❤

You absolutely can! We apologize that this is so late and you probably figured it out by now, but we are planning on putting together a phase 10 video this weekend. Thanks for the suggestion!

Different design or different rules? Ours is pretty old and I know they have different designs now. 😂

As far as we know it's just whoever gets rid of there pike first wins. There is no score. I know this response is super late, but hopefully that's helpful.

You know what... I don't either. 😂 But it sure is fun!

This is so late, but I hope you and your granddaughter still have fun playing skip-bo together! Happy we were able to help.

Agree! We didn't realize how much he shuffled and how annoying it was until after the fact. We were nervous. 😅 Thanks for the feedback.
