This game supports 8 players.

Mid-game joining status unknown.

Join us this week for a rousing game of Skipee! It’s a take on the classic card game Spite and Malice. Work on whittling your stockpile down to nothing while scuttling your opponents efforts~ It’s a game of strategy and sabotage, do you have what it takes?

This gathering is all about having a good time, whether you’re aiming for the win, just looking for a few laughs, or would rather watch the game unfold from the sidelines. Everyone’s welcome, and indeed, the more the merrier.

Instructions

What all the card areas are

• In the centre of the table are the Stacks. This is the play area where you and other players stack cards in order, starting from 1 and up to 12.
• Your Stockpile is the large card in front of you, with a number to the left. The number represents how many cards remain in your stockpile. You want to play these in the Stacks in the centre at every opportunity.
• At the start of each turn your Hand fills up giving you cards to play from your HUD. The purpose of these cards is two-fold; one is to play in the Stacks to help get to a number allowing you to play a card from your Stockpile, and the other is to send to the Discards to end your turn.
• The Discards are the four smaller card slots in front of you. When discarding you can place your card in any of the four lots, even after they have a card in them already. You can also still play any of the visible cards from here to the Stacks.

What to do on your turn

• When your turn comes, identify cards you can play from your Stockpile, Hand, and Discards that you can play in the centre.
  • Number cards can be played on any stack who’s visible card is the preceding number.
  • Skipee cards (orange) can be played on any stack and represent the value that would have gone there (indicated by the number above the stack)
• Continue to play cards, alternating between your Stockpile, Hand, and Discards, until you are satisfied (note: you do not need to play every option available if you do not want to).
• Send a card from your Hand to the Discards to end your turn.

How to win

• The first person to empty their Stockpile wins the game.
• Cards in your Hand and Discards do not matter.
