On each turn, a player draws up to five cards in hand and then plays cards from their hand, their discard piles or their stockpile. At the end of the turn, the player must discard onto one of four personal discard piles. There is an element of simple strategy involved in organizing cards in discard piles.Skip-bo is based on the traditional card game named Spite & Malice. - BoardGameGeek
