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."
  • "Well made cards & box. Would recommend."
