How to Play

OBJECT: Be the first player to play all the cards in

your STOCK pile by playing cards in numerical

order, 1 through 12.

YOU SHOULD HAVE: A deck with 144 cards

numbered 1 through 12 plus 18 SKIP-BO cards for

a total of 162. Remove any blank cards – these are

not used during play.

Please remove all components from the package

and compare them to the components list.

THE OBJECT

The first player to use up all the cards in his/her

STOCK pile wins.

LET’S START

After the deck is shuffled, each player draws a

card. The person with the highest card deals.

(SKIP-BO cards don’t count.) The deal moves to

the left after each game. When there are 2 to 4

players, the dealer deals 30 cards to each player.

With 5 or more players, 20 cards are dealt. The

cards are dealt face down and they become your

STOCK pile. Each player turns the top card of

his/her STOCK pile face up on top of the pile,

without looking at any of the other cards in the

pile. The dealer then places the remainder of the

deck face down in the center of the play area to

form the DRAW pile (where you’ll be able to draw

additional cards).

HOW TO SET UP PLAY

In the center area of play, right near the DRAW pile,

up to four BUILDING piles will be created for all

players to use during play. In addition, each player

will have in front of him/her a STOCK pile and up

to 4 DISCARD piles. (See illustration, below.)

IMPORTANT NOTE: BUILDING piles and DISCARD

piles are developed through play (indicated by

dotted lines, below). No cards are in this area at

the beginning of the game. Also, SKIP-BO cards

are wild. This is important.

FURTHER EXPLANATION OF CARD PILES

1. Stock Pile: Each player has one STOCK pile,

placed face down on his right, with the top card

of the pile always turned face-up on top.

2. Draw Pile: After the deal, the remaining cards

are placed face down in the center of the table to

form the DRAW pile.

3. Building Piles: During play up to four BUILDING

piles can be started. Only a 1 or a SKIP-BO card

can start a BUILDING pile. Each pile is then built up

numerically in sequence, 1 through 12. Since

SKIP-BO cards are wild, they can start a BUILDING

pile, and can be played as any other number, too.

Once a pile of 12 cards has been completed, it is

removed, and a new pile is started in its place.

4. Discard Pile: During play, each player may

build up to four DISCARD piles to the left of his

STOCK pile. They can build up any number of

cards in any order in the DISCARD piles, but may

only play the top card.

HOW TO PLAY

The person to the left of the dealer starts.

Draw 5 cards from the DRAW pile. If you have a

SKIP-BO card or a number 1 card on top of your

STOCK pile or in your hand, you may use it to start

a BUILDING pile in the center of the play area. You

may then continue by playing another card from

your STOCK pile onto a BUILDING pile. If you play

all 5 cards, draw 5 more and continue playing. If

you can’t make a play or just don’t want to, end

your turn by discarding one of the cards from

your hand onto one of your four DISCARD piles.

On your second and succeeding turns, first draw

enough cards to bring your hand back up to 5.

You may then add to the BUILDING piles (always

in sequential order) by playing the top card from

your STOCK pile, DISCARD pile or from your hand.

But remember, the winner is the one who plays all

the cards in his/her STOCK pile, so it’s best to

always use the playable cards from that pile first.

If the DRAW pile is used up, the cards from the

completed BUILDING piles are shuffled and

become the new DRAW pile.

SCORING AND WINNING

You may wish to play several games and keep

score: The winner of each game scores 5 points

for each card remaining in his opponents’ STOCK

piles, plus 25 points for winning the game. The

first person to collect 500 points wins.

PARTNERSHIP

All the rules stay the same except the following:

During your turn, you can play from both your

STOCK and DISCARD piles and your partner’s.

However, during your turn, your partner must

keep quiet. Only the player taking his/her turn can

ask his/her partner to make a play, i.e., “Partner,

play your SKIP-BO as a 4” or “Partner, play your 7.”

Any player guilty of cheating must take 2 cards

from the DRAW pile and place them in his/her

STOCK pile without looking at them. The game is

over when both STOCK piles of one of the

partnerships are finished.

SPECIAL SITUATIONS

1. If you inadvertently draw too many cards, you

must shuffle the extra cards drawn into your own

STOCK pile.

2. If a player draws and plays out of turn and the

error is noticed by another player before this

illegal turn is finished, then the illegal turn stops

immediately and play reverts to the proper order.

However, when it becomes the play of the player

who went out of turn, then that player suffers the

penalty of having to play without first drawing

from the DRAW pile. But if a player plays out of

turn and completes his turn without being

noticed, the play is considered legal. Play

resumes as normal, starting with the player to the

left of the out-of-turn player.

3. In partnership play, both partners can continue

to play from their remaining DISCARD or BUILDING

piles even if one of the STOCK piles is finished.

SET-UP NOTE

1. A player’s four DISCARD piles are imaginary

until he/she starts them during play.

2. The BUILDING piles are imaginary until started

by players during the game.

3. Remember: The object of the game is to get rid

of the cards from your (and your partner’s, if

playing partnerships) STOCK piles.

SHORT GAME

For players wishing to play a short version of

SKIP-BO, the dealer deals a STOCK pile of 10

cards to each player. All other rules remain

the same.
