I got recommended your old Dominion video just now, and decided to watch it to finally learn to play Dominion in a clear, concise manner. That video was uploaded nine years ago, and then I noticed this one was uploaded just today. New studio, a little bit older, but still that iconic calm tone and measured cadence that I've grown to love so much. Thank you for having done these videos for so long! You and Rodney Smith from Watch it Played are my all time favorite people to learn tabletop games from!
When I was a kid, my nana taught me a similar game called Sputnik. It was basically the same game as Skip-Bo, but her draw pile was comically huge. This ensured we never ran out of cards, but we also needed rubber bands to hold it together.
That's awesome! And funny that you mentioned that because we keep saying we should buy a second Skip-Bo deck so we never have to reshuffle the deck in the middle of games 😂
the numbers in the point game (5, 25, 500) a gcd of 5, so you can downscale everything you could score 1 for every card, 5 for going out, and play until 100
@@Nbrother1234Then again, there's also the perception of bigger numbers sometimes being less fiddly to work with than smaller numbers. For example, consider monopoly money, but the smallest increment is 5 instead of 1 (and all prices are in increments of 5). Not sure how to put it into words, but there's just something about having increments of 5 (not 1) that kinda makes tallying your amounts of things appear much easier and feel more satisfying than increments of 1.
My family and I are obsessed with this game, so much fun once you get the hang of it! We played a 4-player game last night and it was a a blast (I didn't win but only had one card left in my stockpile card so it was an intense ending to the game!). Our family does NOT follow the "youngest player goes first" rule as that would just let me go first every game which isn't fair so we allow the player that has the highest card in their stockpile go first since it can be disadvantage starting the game with a higher number (especially a 12!).
That is how we usually play it. It makes it so the player that has the least chance to get started with their deck at least has the consolation prize of going first. If there is a tie, the tied players draw a card from the draw pile, the higher number wins. During this process, Skip-Bo cards count like a 0, so they never allow you to go first. I have also heard of two variations that we usually don't play with: 1. Skip Bo's may not be laid onto another Skip Bo (so you can't go 4, 5, SB, SB, 8) 2. Skip Bo's on an empty space count as any number you want, not just as a 1.
That's exactly how we play it!! Our group is typically always the same so since I'm the youngest I would just go first every game which is NOT fair. So we play whoever has the highest stockpile card at the start of the game gets to go first. Works so much better.
@tysont2380 what I mean is. You pick 5 cards and you play let's say 2 of them, discard 1 and you are now left with 2 unplayed cards. What to do with these. Keep them or throw them away

You may watch how to play Skip-Bo here
The rules are the same as regular Skip-Bo, except for these changes, for a refresher of those rules, checkout the top right video.

You have the same qualify picture as me
the rules are the same as regular skip-bo, there are no changes.

bigger numbers are more fun. thanks game design.

Yeah, that would have made more sense to be honest!

I remember this one ad where someone used a blatant uno draw 4 (skip Bo version) to make another lose.
Yeah
Hey there, I've been watching you're channel for 2 years now. Can you remake your HOW TO PLAY PHASE 10 please for 2024

@@TripleSGames TYVM (Thank you very much)
Well that a good idea
Do how to play The Battle Of Polytopia
Oh hey, its Spite and Malice
+4 Card Doesn't exist in the Skip Bo Ad on mobile...
So, basically Uno but with extra rules.
Ironically, the older company that distributed skip-bo decks was international game, the same distributor of UNO.
Uno but with 2 digit numbers and yellow was shot in the head
Yes, it's a pretty good little game.
do how to play magic maze pls I want to learn
@TripleSGames could you do exploding kittins expantion pack?
yes, I have some in my backlog I am working towards, not sure when I will get to them though
It shouldn't be the youngest player that goes first but whoever has the highest card on their deck.

Nice
how does not a single of these video tell you what to do if you get stuck on 4 cards you cant play. 1 gets discarded ? what about the remaining 3 ??
What do you mean?
You start your turn with 5 cards, if you cant do any move discard a card to end your turn. Then on your next turn pick up a new card

@@Pallepop909 keep them then pick up 3 cards on your next turn
@tysont2380 cheers. The rules included with the game does not mention
