Fun game but I had bought 1500 coins for two extra skipbo cards and 1250 coins for the game and as soon as I started it restarted itself. I lost all those coins. Went to send a message so they might could give me the coins back and it said I had the wrong email address (same one I've had for 10 years) and then I tried to submit it, for the first time, and it said I was sending it too frequently. Since I am unable to contact if something is wrong, I am uninstalling.

It's a fun game, and the design and graphics are great. But coins take way too long to get. It makes the game very frustrating and quickly boring. My biggest issue is with the whole solitaire thing. Don't get me wrong, I love solitaire, but I got this app to play skip bo. But you can't get the coins to play without doing the solitaire. I downloaded this so I could play with my family, but I have to pay hard to get coins to play with them? Terrible system. Fix the coin system. Focus on skip bo.

It's fun! Skipbo is a great game. But I think this could be really improved. The levels (online play and adventure) cost too many coins to play, and you either get no coins or VERY little back. I would like the be able to adjust game settings (no. of players and cards, or set difficulty) because the games go too quickly. Also, adventure seems to be all luck with what deck you get, it gets frustrating until you get lucky.

It does what it needs to do. After 20-ish minutes, this is my feedback: 01. Add higher amount of stock cards so games are longer (think of around 20/30), without higher stakes. 02. Be able to choose amounts of cash to bet, and be paired with people chosing the same amount (e.g. 5k, 10k, 20k). 30. Make a win percentage system so people can be paired with others in the same level. Hope this helps. Other than that, the art is very pretty.

This game is okay. I loved growing up with shipbo as a kid! But I don't like the fact that it costs 1000 coins every time I want to play a game online and if you lose, you have no way of playing again (unless you purchase more coins). I think you should not have to pay for these and there should be more ways of earning them besides the adventure mode (which also costs coins to play).

I really like this game and it's really too expensive to play the rounds that give rewards. Yes, every hour, but we are really only allowed to play around one game per hour with as much as the rounds cost. The playing offline mode should offer some amount of a reward to help earn coins.

I have been enjoying this app up until stage 6. The app began to freeze or restart on its own during games. Which has caused me to lose coins when already the higher the stage the more coins are used. Not enjoying this at all. Would like to continue playing the game, but if this continues to happen, I will began requesting refunds and uninstalling the app.

I absolutely love playing this game however now that you've added this stupid ad banner at the bottom of the game when your playing it's locking up the game. You have to close out of the game to and start over for it to just happen again. If this doesn't get fixed I will stop playing the game as this is too frustrating.

i miss the old version of this app where u could play actual skipbo against the computer. i also have the phase 10 app, and these are virtually the same now, but i don't think this solitaire version of skipbo makes sense. why can't each level be against a computer, like the phase 10 app? playing skipbo alone like this doesn't even feel like playing skipbo to me. also the coins to play system makes no sense, please fix it.

Disappointed and miss the old skipbo game. Rounds shouldn't be only 5-10 and it costs alot of coin to even play with real people. the adventure game is also set up so you will lose no matter what unless you buy extra skipbo cards. Limited ways to make more coin. Overall I do not really like the game. There are alternative skipbo like games out there, just gotta look for them Maybe give us a pay for option for the full game?? As long as it works properly. No idea where the 4.7 star review came

This game is junk. I love Skip-bo. Played it for decades. But this is ridiculous. You pay abd play a board and if you can clear the board, you might get a 3rd of what you paid if you get 1 star, 2 3rds if you get 2, and a little over what you paid if you get 3 stars. Also once you clear initial boards, you can't get 3 stars cause the game never gives you the cards you need to clear the board. That is just crazy. And I will nor sign in each hr to collect coins, but they don't accumulate. Garbage

I get tired getting stuck with 9, 10, 11, and 12 laying out in my stacks. Also my starting hand almost always starts a 3, 5, 7, 9 or 11. I find it convenience that the system wins 8 out of 10 times! I have better odds playing with real cards and people!

Nice game, gameplay feels intuitive and i like the fact that you can play with friends. However, their "online" mode is not really with other human players, but rather against the ai. Feels a little fishy why they would do this.

I at first thought that the SkipBo game was going to be hard to learn. It was not only easy but fun and intriguing. I like the options to change card amounts and number of players in offline practice mode.

Update: Thank you for reaching back to me! Y'all have truly improved your game play! I love this game now! Y'all truly know how to make a person happy especially for someone like me who has ADHD, Anxiety, and other things that go along with being ADHD! I Highly recommend for others to play this game! This game totally sucks no matter what you gotta purchase coins just to be able to play. This game forces you to spend money to purchase coins if you want to play

Game is pretty fun and the solitair twist is enjoyable, I just don't like that both the multiplayer aspect of the game and the "story mode" version of the Solitaire part all cost the currency you get for playing the game. I've un installed but, but not because its a bad game.

I noticed a pattern with the update. It's the 3rd player that wins at least 90% of the games, I'm the other 10% that wins. The update SUCKS! This is the 4th game I've played since the update, and yea, 3rd player wins almost every game. What is that all about? I honestly thought that these games were meant to be fun for the player, win a few games here and there, but as it turns out, it's quite literally the exact opposite. It seems that this game is geared towards keeping the player from winning

I'm so irritated I was interested in one of the many ads i was watching and it was an ad to get a skipbo and because I clicked on the ad when i went back to my game it had went back to the homepage and I lost my coins and my skipbo without getting to play. This happened twice in a row to me, it is also frustrating only getting enough coins to play one game per hour.

Not a game you can actually sit and play. Maybe if you are waiting for a bus or in a doctor's office waiting room. Not for regular play. It's fun, HOWEVER, everything costs coins to play...and costs more coins than you can earn. Unless you're going to go in every hour and accept the 1000 free coins...just so you can play for 30 minutes. They made the coins too expensive to even spend any real money on, knowing they will be gone in under and hour. Skipbo is a fun game, this is disappointing tho

If you want to play traditional skip-bo this game probably isn't for you. It cost so many coins to play online or with friends. And then the adventure part is not skip-bo at all its just different solitaire games with skip-bo cards. And even that costs SO many coins! They give you free coins every hour if you log in to accept them, but that is only enough to play one game not even enough to play both the adventure and the online. So if you are addicted like I am you lose interest real fast!
noname300359, the 13/05/2022

Only get enough coins to play one level an hour. You should make it to where you get coins for winning on the offline game and lower the amount you need for the levels on the adventure. I don't mind spending money on games but it has to be worth it and it's not. I'm not gonna spend my money to only play 2 or 3 levels.

it's a fun time killer. but I wish it had a longer online stack instead of just 5. maybe 10. 1 game was done in 1 min bc they had it all.. So im happy that they increased the card for online. But with this Easter egg update you cut the free coin down alot.and increased the price of add 4 extra cards option. Which really is a poor choice. Seems like Mattel is going hard to pay to play..

skip bo is obviously a fun game but I have an issue with the coin system. Playing against the computer isn't fun because there is no reward. Every hour you get 1000 coins which let's you play online with real people but with only 5 cards in your deck the game could end in 2 seconds. It's frustrating. Also the mini challenges cost coins with hardly any reward. I would love this game if there were other ways to earn coins or if I didn't have to wait an hour to play 1 game.

It is being super annoying and gliching all the time cant play with my daughter on line anymore which is super upsetting because we had played alot of games before my daughters game asked her to update and also super upsetting because she is away from home for a few months and this is part of how we where connecting and bonding and now we cant because it is now trash

This game is alright. I only gave it 3 stars because I do love the game. I have the physical cards and have been playing for some years with my family and friends. This version of the game is not like the last version. I don't like having to pay to play. I love playing online against other people but it cost to do that and just to play the adventure part it cost to play as well. But they don't even give you a lot of coins. So your losing more coins than gaining them.
noname442921, the 13/05/2022

I'm just really frustrated with the game, I seem to always lose no matter what now and the game is very much based on a system of "New players always win their first 10 or so games" and once you've played for a few days you suddenly can't win anymore- or at least that's my experience. I play Skip-Bo a lot at home, and I know the game can feel rigged sometimes even when the cards are thoroughly shuffled, but still! I gotta uninstall because its just stressing me out
noname94460, the 13/05/2022

Enjoyed the game but it's impossible to get coins if you don't win online. Each adventure level costs 600 coins and you only get a couple hundred back when you pass. Deleting unfortunately.
noname553335, the 13/05/2022

Kind of tolerated the game, decent way to kill time if you have enough coins. Small things kept annoying me. Like paying a ridiculous amount of coin to play a level to get very little payout when level was passed. Now with the updates its just getting worse. Last update gave us high stakes, which was nice, but now only first place gets payout on any multi-player. Now with this latest update, you get half the coin 'gift' as you did before. I'm over it.
noname331068, the 13/05/2022

Just a money grabbing game. It just makes online and adventure cost a lot and you to retrieve none if you don't win online or adventure or a little bit of coins back if you win a level on adventure. But it would've been better if it costed less to play matches and we received coins no matter if we won or lost a match.
noname636931, the 13/05/2022

The individual play does not reward you enough for winning. You only increase your coins if you get 3 stars, if you get 1 or 2 stars then you actually lose coins in the game. The online play is 2000 coins to enter and can win "up to 5000" coins. But that is a lie. You either win first place and get 5000 or 2nd, 3rd or 4th and get no coins. I also feel on online play the pile you have to get rid of is sometimes rigged. Too many times are cards revealed that are in consecutive or skipbo cards
noname586903, the 13/05/2022

The interface itself is good. But the game is incorrect as you can only play to 5 or 10 cards in the pile. Also the story type game isn't a matter of playing well. It's a matter of did the game give you the cards you need or not, and usually it doesn't.
noname954247, the 13/05/2022

The game is fun for the few seconds that you can enjoy it , but how can you only play once and then need to wait an hour before you can get more coins. I am not willing to pay for a game. Please give more options on how to get coins. You hardly het any no matter what you do!

I appreciate your reply but why delete my review? SMH. Again, I don't recommend playing this game unless you are comfortable to purchase coins which is going to be very often. You have to pay to play any games such as with other online players, creating a game with family/friends, and going to another step in a chapter. It's take about 950-1000 coins to play a game. Every hour they give you a free 1100 coins which only gives you about 1 or 2 games if lucky. I hope the coins to pay goes down.

I would really love this game if it was more realistic. The one who wins usually wins fast and on the first or second turn. I don't mind loosing but would like to at least have a few turns. Very frustrating ????
noname339400, the 13/05/2022
________________________________________________
Cant win enough coins to continue playing. Takes forever to be able to advance and its not the way you play its how the cards come up. Very Boring waiting an hour in between each time to get a few coins to be able to play maybe 1 hand. So frustrating honestly ???? think ill delete this and I absolutely love Skip-Bo, been playing since I was a kid.
noname988694, the 13/05/2022

Lowering my rating because they lowered the amount of coins you get every hour are raised how much each level costs. Ilike the game play but the amount of coins needed for each level is ridiculous. If you beat a lender you should at least get enough points to play another level. If you loose more than twice you have to wait an hour for more coins.....

I thought it necessary to change my review from a 5 star to 2. One of the last updates had the offline hands go from not having any ads to a ridiculous number of them. I delt with them online and journey modes but now they're on the offline mode as well. I understand why we need them but this is out of control!
noname454451, the 13/05/2022

Hard to get tokens to play online, and it costs all your tokens for 1 or 2 games. 2nd place should get their 1000 tokens back at least. Obviously when you're down to one card, and the other person has 5 left and their luck gets them to drop all 5 in one turn it's frustrating to lose all your tokens
noname12915, the 13/05/2022

The coin situation is a bad joke and does indeed look like the game is geared towards $$. At a bare minimum completing a map level even with 1 star, should return the coins it cost to play it not a tiny fraction. Off-line play should be stupidily cheap. Playing with friends shouldn't be costing 1000 a round, play a couple games at a time and that's it. Chat for friend games should be available. Online random games are ok the way they are. The app is solid and pretty just too expensive/slow.

This game was fun until you put the ads at the bottom of the screen. I didn't my the ad breaks in between games. Have an ad for a car dealership in the middle of a game is distracting and makes me not want to play
