    Much thanks! I loved playing this game as a kid but it’s been so long that I completely forgot how to play. Teaching my kids rn. Might have finally found a game that we all enjoy playing. Thanks again

    My mom taught me and my siblings this game when I was 9 when she just regained custody of us from foster care. It will always stick with me. I forgot how to play and this video brought me back. She just turned 60. I will come back to this comment when she passes and drop a paragraph on how much she means to me. I love you mom.

    Played a lot of this growing up. My family played a variation with these differences: piles finishing on kings instead of queens, jokers as wilds, and wilds cannot be kings or twos. If there was an open pile in the middle and you had an ace, it was mandatory to play it (but using a joker as an ace was not mandatory). And lastly four decks used for 2-4 players.

    • @BuncoAddict

      Why can't u use the wild for a 2 or a king?

    • @jackcozad6345
      @jackcozad6345 11 месяцев назад +1

      @@BuncoAddict Like I said, that was just the particular variation of rules my family happened to play, I don't know exactly why. But definitely it could be entertaining watching your opponent needing a 2 or King for their play and having a bunch of wilds they can't use. Or if you're that person it can be very frustrating lol. The mandatory Ace rule likewise leads to sometimes being obligated to help an opponent play their 2, which can also be amusing or frustrating. Plenty of good natured table talk!
      But I'll be honest, there were often deadlocks where nobody could play anything and you're all stuck drawing 1 card each turn and it can take a while to get going again. Having more wilds might be better if you prefer the game to flow better and get stuck less often. So it just depends what kind of game you and your group like to play.

    I used to love this game! We played it with a few differences: we played with 4 decks of cards, the hand size was 7 cards, there were 8 piles in the middle, piles went up to king and jokers were wild but couldn't be used as aces.

    The card games Skip-Bo and Flinch are variations of this game.

  • @jeffreyjacobs3471
    @jeffreyjacobs3471 10 месяцев назад

    A variation is to keep the deck separate before the game, dealing the stock piles with one deck (they have 26 cards in this version, so the entire first deck is dealt), and forming the draw pile with the other deck. The two decks will mix as center stacks are shuffled into the draw pile, but if the decks have different backs, they can be separated for the next game.

    Since a King is a wild card, can it be used to count as an Ace, to start a building pile?

  • @desfeeley6581
    @desfeeley6581 4 года назад +3

    What about player 1 placing synchronous same-suited cards on to Player 2s stock pile? That's a key part of the spite piece, where you really hurt the other player

      Shuffle the completed books a few times and start a new draw deck. This should be done periodically.

    If the top cards in each player’s stockpile are the same rank then who goes first?

    • @jeffreyjacobs3471
      @jeffreyjacobs3471 10 месяцев назад

      The players reshuffle their stock piles, and each turns up a new card. This is repeated as necessary until the cards are of different ranks.

      But Skip-Bo uses the equivalent of a triple deck, and this game uses a double deck. Those who have trouble shuffling very thick decks may prefer Spite and Malice to Skip-Bo.

    Line up the stock piles with the draw pile so the discard and building piles line up - nobody in their right mind would play otherwise.
