Description

Get ready for a game of strategy and luck with Skyjo, a simple yet engaging card game for 2 to 8 players. The goal is to have the lowest score at the end of the game, which is achieved by collecting and exchanging cards wisely. Each player starts with 12 hidden cards, with two face-up cards that give a glimpse into their hand. On each turn, you can draw a new card or exchange one of your existing cards to try and get the best combination. The twist in Skyjo comes when a column of three cards has the same value, as these cards are discarded and don't count towards your score. With cards ranked from -2 to 12, you'll need to think carefully about which cards to keep and which to get rid of. The game is over when one player reaches 100 points or more, and the player with the lowest score wins. With a playtime of just 15 to 45 minutes, Skyjo is a great game for a quick gathering with friends or family.
