Review on ๐ŸŽ‰ Unleash Fun and Excitement with Mattel Games 1050 SKIP Card by Christopher Clearfield

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Funny game! But the Skip-Bo card looks confusing

We LOVE Skip-Bo at our house. It's really fun and easy, plus it's customizable. Almost any number of people can play. Why are two stars missing? Because this is a new version and the map appearance is confusing. I don't know why they changed the backs of the cards from the classic look, but the backs of the cards (where everyone says "Skip-Bo") are remarkably similar to the front of the "Skip-Bo" wild card. If you look at the picture, you can see that the card under "12" is the "Skip-Bo" wild and is too different from the numbered cards that it is often mistaken for an accidentally flipped card. Above. I'd say it's a minor complaint, but EVERY PERSON that played with us struggled with that aspect of the game. A friend found the classic version of the game at a flea market and we all loved it because we could play without the confusion of skipping cards. As I said, a minor inconvenience, but an inconvenience nonetheless.
