Skip-Bo

Players try to empty a personal stockpile of 30 cards by building shared runs from 1 to 12 on up to four communal building piles. On a turn, a player draws to five cards and may play cards from their hand, the top card of any of their four personal discard piles, or from their stockpile to continue runs. A turn ends by discarding one card to a personal discard pile. Strategy centers on arranging discard piles, choosing which source to play from, denying opponents good plays, and timing the use of a wild card that can substitute for any number.
