Skip Cards

Classic card game: variant on Spite and Malice. The object of this game is to get rid of your stack of cards on the left by placing them on the 3 common centre stacks.

The first card on the centre stack needs to be a 1 and then you can place cards upwards to a 12 (1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-11-12 and suits are irrelevant). You can play cards from your stack at the left, your hand (middle 5 cards) or your 4 discard piles (on the right). Your turn ends when you place a card from your hand to 1 of the discard piles. Only the top card of your stack, your hand cards and the top cards of the discard piles are available for play. The Skip card is wild and can be used for any value.
