Gameplay Experience
Pros:
"It's incredibly easy to learn, and people pick it up quickly."
"It's a perfect balance of skill and luck, and there is multiple rounds allowing for redemption from a bad round."
"Skyjo has quickly become a favorite in our household! It's incredibly easy to learn, making it perfect for family game nights or gatherings with friends."
"It's a blend of skill and chance and can turn around at any round."
"Really fun game, very simple to play yet there are tactics involved!"
"It is very fun, easy to learn, and it can be played for a long time or as long as desired."
"This game is easy to learn, quick to play, and challenging to master as your strategy evolves each round."
Cons:
"I can see this game getting 'old' after a few rounds played in a row, but it's one I will keep in the game wheel-house of fun ones to play."
"While this game is more luck than strategy, it's quickly become a family favorite."
"It combines some strategy with a lot of luck. There will be lots of laughing and occasionally some yelling because it gets exciting."
"The tricky rule and the sneaky rule could be optional if you were playing with young children...at least until they get the hang of the game."
"I didn't quite know the strategy the 1st time I played."
"To play in the car it would not work very well. There are two many cards to play with."
"The only thing, you cannot play more than 4 people."
Educational Value
Pros:
"It’s a wonderful teach-as-you play game for children: Patterns, statistical probability, and the value ranges of the cards are color coded to give clues as to how much risk one might want to take."
"It is a fun game, and great for teaching simple math (addition/subtraction)."
"An interesting twist is that the cards include negative numbers (only -1 and -2) which makes it great for kids learning negative numbers in math, as they need to total their score each round."
"It also enforces basic math, and even a bit of probability."
"This exposes children to a fun way of adding and subtracting."
"Teaches them to match numbers and learn which numbers are higher than others."
"For younger kids, a calculator or scratch pad for writing down their math would make it easier to add up the numbers."
Cons:
"Computing scores might be tricky for younger ones, but it's a good introduction to negative values."
"I would suggest this as a learning tool for children, but they won't recognize that they are improving their additions skills."
"I would say stick with age 7 and up unless particularly good with math."
Quality and Design
Pros:
"Good quality cards and beautiful colors."
"The cards are well made and have held up for hundreds of games played!!"
"Quality of box, cards & instructions is excellent."
"The game box itself is a sturdy box, which is great."
"Came in a nice box with instructions, cards are good quality."
"The quality of the game is great too. The cards are sturdy but also easy to shuffle."
