Object of the Game

Be the first person to collect five Skip-Bo® Mission cards.

Setup

Shuffle the Skip-Bo® cards and place them facedown in the middle of the playing area.

Take 3 dice of the same color. Note that the Skip-Bo wild die face is wild and may count for any die needed to complete a sequence.

Let's Play

Turn over the top Skip-Bo® card from the card pile.

Now everyone rolls all of their dice to try to match the sequence shown on the Skip-Bo® card.

For example, the card says 3, 4, 5. You must match that sequence by rolling one 3, one 4 and one 5. A wild die may be used to count as one of any of these numbers.

Note: only one wild die may be used to complete a sequence. At least two of the dice rolled must be the actual number needed.

Remember, everyone rolls at the same time. You're racing to be the first to match the Skip-Bo® card!

All players continue to roll and re-roll their dice until a player has matched the sequence shown.

You may save any die you want to keep and only roll the other dice in your hand.

For example, the card says 1, 3, 5. You roll a 1, a 2 and a 6. You may set the 1 to the side and re-roll only the dice showing the 2 and the 6.

When you match the sequence shown, yell "Skip-Bo" and grab the card. Turn over the next card on the pile and start rolling again!

If two players match the sequence at the same time, the first to yell "Skip-Bo" and grab the card gets to keep the card!

The first player to collect five cards wins!
