Game Play and Scoring

Objective

Be the first player to empty your entire Stockpile and reach the target score (usually 500 points).

How to Play

Players are dealt a Stockpile of cards. On your turn, draw to have five cards in hand. Play cards from your hand, your Stockpile, or your four personal Discard piles onto the shared Building piles in numerical order (1 through 12).

Wild Cards

Skip-Bo cards are wild and can represent any number needed to continue a sequence on a building pile.

Scoring

When a player "goes out" (empties their stockpile), the round ends and they score:

  • 25 points for winning the hand.
  • 5 points for every card left in all opponents' stockpiles.

Note: Opponents score 0 points for the round.
