Talk:Skip-Bo

Untitled
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.

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.

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)

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

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.

Using one of the templates at 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.

Removed Section: Interesting Fact
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)

Tournament Section
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)

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

Pronunciation
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)
