SKIP-BO Castaway Caper

SKIP-BO Castaway Caper is a nice little card game that you can play on your computer, and it’s quite enjoyable too. Exotic even.

SKIP-BO Castaway Caper is a card game that doesn’t seem very popular, which is a bit strange since it’s fun to play and fast-paced. If you also haven’t heard of it, here’s the short version on how you play it: you and your opponents have decks of shuffled cards, and you must get rid of them to win. There is a building pile and a discard pile, and it’s on the first that you have to stack sequences of cards that go up in value. Once a stack is complete, it is removed, and you can start a new one. Four can be worked on at a time.

One all the cards in your deck are gone, you win. At first it might seem a bit complicated but in fact, it really isn’t. After just one game, you’ll get the hang of it. Just like with Solitaire.

SKIP-BO Castaway Caper can be played in modes such as ‘Adventure’, ‘Classic’, ‘Speed’ and ‘Team’, each one with the same gameplay rules but with a small variation. It’s not hard to spot which is which.

As with any card game, it might get repetitive but apart from the four modes, you also get a lot of achievements that can be unlocked. That doesn’t improve on the gameplay, but it certainly gives you a bit more to work for.

To end SKIP-BO Castaway Caper is a very relaxing and enjoyable card game. The rules are simple, the games end fast, and at times, you’ll be in a neck and neck kind of scenario with your opponents.
