How to Play Skyjo?

Deal 12 cards to each player face down in a 3×4 layout

Turn over any 2 cards to start

Place the remaining cards face down as the draw pile

Put the top draw card face up beside it as the discard pile

On your turn, choose one card from the draw pile or the top card of the discard pile

If you take from the draw pile, look at it and decide whether to keep it or discard it

If you keep it, replace one of your face-down or face-up cards with it

If you discard it, turn it face up on the discard pile

If you take from the discard pile, you must replace one of your cards with it

After replacing a card, turn the replaced card face up and place it on the discard pile

Try to reveal and collect low-value cards

If you have three matching cards in a column, they are removed from play

Keep playing until one player has all 12 cards revealed

When that happens, each other player gets one final turn

Score each player’s remaining cards by adding their values

The player with the lowest total score wins

Negative cards are good

Zero cards are very good

High positive cards are bad
