Skip-bo Breakers

Numbers arranged differently!

 

Players try to be the first to reach a score of 50 points. To do so you count the number tiles still remaining with the other players when you yourself have been able to discard all tiles. Each player starts with 16 number tiles, there are the number tiles 1-15, which are present 4 times, and 43 joker tiles.. .

The first player placed a valid row – this row can be a single tile, a pair, consecutive pairs, a straight or a breaker. The other players now must place a correct row by matching or overbidding, if you cannot do so you must pass your move. A breaker is a triple or quadruple and tops each other series, a breaker itself can only be topped by a breaker of higher value. Joker tiles replace any number tile, but cannot be used to complete a breaker.

If you have passed you can enter the game again in the next round. If you are the last player to lay out a row you win the turn and start the next one.  If you can discard all tiles from your hand you win the round and score one point for each tile that the other players have left.

Then all number tiles are turned down again and shuffled, each player again receives 16 tiles, in case of 4 players, two or three players use 20 tiles each. The connection to the game of Skip-Bo is not immediately visible, the game brings to mind the card games of Karrierepoker or Der große Dalmuti or all other card placement games where you must top combinations with combinations of higher value to remain in play.

If you like that kind of game you will definitely like Skip-Bo Breakers as well as the nice components and the simple rules of this game.
