Please remove all components from the package and

OBJECT: Be the rst player to play all the cards in

your STOCK pile.

SET UP

Shue the deck and deal the appropriate number of

cards to each player. (See chart.) These cards remain

facedown and are called your STOCK pile.

HOW MANY CARDS TO DEAL

2 to 4 players 30 cards

5 or more players 20 cards

Turn over only the top card of your STOCK pile and

leave it, face up, on top of the pile.

The cards from your STOCK pile are what you’re

trying to get rid of to win the game.

During play, up to 4 BUILDING piles will be created

and used by all players. Create the BUILDING piles in

the middle of the playing area, close to the DRAW pile.

During play, each player will also create up to 4

DISCARD piles in front of them. Players will only use

their own DISCARD piles.

Place the remaining deck facedown close to the

middle of the play area. This is the DRAW pile.

Note: a Skip-Bo® card is wild and may be used as any

card you need.

LET’S PLAY

The youngest player goes rst. On their turn, each

player will do several things in the following order.

1. Draw from the DRAW pile until you have 5 cards.

This is your hand. (At the beginning of every turn,

you will draw back up to 5.)

2. If possible, add to BUILDING piles from your hand,

Discard piles and Stock pile. (See below for what

you’re allowed to add to a Building pile.)

3. When you’ve played all the cards from your Stock

pile or hand that you can, end your turn by adding

1 card from your hand to any of the 4 Discard piles

in front of you. Play now moves to the next player.

SAMPLE PLAYING AREA (FOR 2 PLAYERS)

Note: the piles with dotted lines will be created,

as necessary, during play.

Note: if you get rid of all 5 cards in your hand on a turn, draw back up to 5 IMMEDIATELY and continue playing your turn. You may continue to immediately draw back up to 5 any time you use ALL 5 cards. (Discarding your 5th card DOES NOT count as getting rid of all of your cards in one turn.) HOW TO USE THE VARIOUS PILES STOCK PILE: You will get rid of your Stock pile by playing the top card, when you can, on the Building piles. When you’ve used the top card of your Stock pile, turn over the next card.
