Snappywords - Online Games - Skip-Bo
Skip-Bo is a card and strategy game for two to four players, where the goal is to be the first to play all the cards from your personal stockpile. The game is played with a special deck containing cards numbered 1 to 12, along with wild cards (Skip-Bo cards).

The objective is to cleverly build ascending sequences on shared build piles, reducing your stockpile as efficiently as possible. Success requires both tactical planning and the flexibility to adapt to your opponents’ moves.

Each round combines strategy, awareness, and a touch of luck. Since players only have limited information about their own cards, careful planning and timing are key to optimizing your own plays without giving your opponents too many opportunities.

5 Tips for Winning at Skip-Bo

1. Keep an eye on your stockpile

The top card of your stockpile is the key to victory. Plan your moves to get rid of it as quickly as possible.

2. Use your wild cards wisely

Skip-Bo cards are powerful—save them for tight spots or use them strategically to extend your play chains.

3. Block your opponents

Watch your opponents’ stockpiles and avoid setting them up with your discard piles. Denying them easy plays is part of the game.

4. Build your discard piles with intention

Don’t discard at random. Place cards in your four personal discard piles in a way that helps you create future move chains.

5. Play long combinations when you can

When you have the chance to lay down several cards in a row, go for it. Long runs help you clear your stockpile faster and gain momentum.
