Skip-Bo Junior, Mod & Express card games

Junior: a first card game with animals

Skip-Bo Junior stops at 10 instead of 12, uses bright animal art and comes with two play modes. Level one leaves out discard piles so ages 5 and up can focus on counting; level two adds them back when kids are ready to plan ahead. It is a happy little family game for the years when a full deck feels like too many cards for small hands, and it turns counting practice into a fun puzzle around the kitchen table.

Mod: the classic with a modern look

Skip-Bo Mod keeps the sequencing idea but shortens the stockpile to 15 cards and adds an exclusive die in a slim case. Rounds take only a few minutes, which makes it a good match for friends who want a quick game before dinner. Stock of this edition is low, so it suits collectors who already own the classic deck.

Express: a pocket-sized race

Skip-Bo Express is a compact edition for two players per set — combine two sets and four can play at once. It fits in a coat pocket, a carry-on or a beach bag, and the trimmed rules mean a whole hand plays out during a short wait. It ships after a short delay while new stock arrives.

Which variation fits your family

Young kids and first-time players: Junior. Fans who want a sharper case and a faster game: Mod. Travelers and two-player households: Express. Once anyone is ready for the full rules, the classic Skip-Bo card game is waiting with all twelve numbers.
