Untitled[edit]

I believe the following is an inaccurate statement:

"Rules that have changed

An earlier version of the game (current as of 1980) had 24 SKIP-BO cards for a total of 168 cards, and did not prohibit playing a SKIP-BO card on top of another SKIP-BO card.

Mattel's newest version does not prohibit playing a SKIP-BO on top of another SKIP-BO.

==[edit]

removed the following text, as I feel it is bogus: ", but you can’t play 2 in a row and you always have to cover it up with a number card, so you can’t use it as a 12 card" I do not believe the rules specify that.

==[edit]

To future editors: I added the images of Skip-bo Cards thinking it might make the page clearer. I have been away from Wikipedia for some time, and would be pleased for others to make changes considered better. Alison Phil ^talk 13:55, 6 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

==[edit]

From what I can see in the PDF file, there's nothing disallowing consecutive Skip-Bo cards on the same Building Pile. Additionally, in the Nintendo DS reincarnation of the game, allowing or disallowing consecutive Skip-Bos is a player-controlled option, the default being to allow.

Fair use rationale for Image:Skip-Bo.JPG[edit]

Image:Skip-Bo.JPG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Removed Section: Interesting Fact[edit]

The "fact" was a little story about a skip-bo champion who died days after winning while trying to perfect a way to cheat. It read "as a way to cheat on his wife" when I first read it, which caught my eye as being nonsensical. I initially edited it to reflect the text on the page it cited which merely said he was perfecting a way to cheat. But then when I looked closer at the cite page I realized it was a blog page with only one entry, the one on the supposed champion. I couldn't find any other information on the man in a google search, and have removed the entire section. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.50.14.164 (talk) 06:34, 29 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Tournament Section[edit]

The name in the history kept changing and there is no references. I possibly think it is B.S. so I removed it until there is proof/reference. Behun (talk) 05:34, 20 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Skip-Bo?[edit]

I don't think this title is right, in all caps. what do you think? --Subzerovsscorpian2012 (talk) 10:57, 20 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Pronunciation[edit]

I removed the curious pronunciation guide from the lead as it's both confusing and unsourced. Where did the editor get the idea that the game is pronounced Skip-BOO rather than Skip-BOW? If that's the case, then please provide a verifiable source that agrees with this pronunciation. 75.63.209.97 (talk) 18:53, 2 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
