About Skido: Spite and Malice
Popular family card game with numerous commercial variants also known as 'Cat & Mouse' or 'Spite & Malice'. The game rules are simple with 100% fun guarantee: be the first player to move all the cards from your stock pile into the playing piles, thus winning the game. Block your opponents to slow them down.
Features:
- Customize your game by choosing the number of opponents, cards in the stockpile and game difficulty.
- Unlimited undo
- Resume games after pause
- No frills
- Only few ads
Game rules:
The object of the game is to be the first player to play out their entire stock pile.
Each player is dealt 10 (20 or 30) cards for their stock pile with only the uppermost card visible, and a hand of five card.
The shared play area allows up to four build piles, which must be started using either a "1" card or a 'J', and each player also has up to four personal discard piles.
Each turn the active player draws until he has five cards in hand, and plays on the build piles. He must play either the next card in sequential order or a wild 'J' card, using either cards in hand, the top card of his stock pile, or the top card of any of his four discard piles. If the player can play all five cards from hand, he draws five more and continues playing. When no more plays are available, the player discards one card to either an empty discard pile or on top of an existing one and play passes to the next player. When a build pile reaches 12, it is removed from the board and that space becomes empty for another pile to be started; play continues until one player has played his final start card.

Love that you can play more than two people. Sometimes its hard to win but it should be that way. Makes me want to play more. Love the undo button too! Not sure why it has to keep active scores but it doesnt affect anyth8ng.

The game is less then OK. Your odds of winning a game is 33% when you play with 4 ppl. I deleted game after winning 150 games out of 400. The game would be more fun if odds were a little better.

Pretty great game... It's harder than I thought it would be. Graphics aren't spectacular, but it's a simple card game.

Game play is standard, but there is too much of a delay in placing a card.

My favorite game right now. Simple, but very effective, and actually plays far better than similar games in the app store.

Worst game. Actually love the game but this version is awful. I know. I am playing against a computer but this is ridiculous. I play 1 to 2 cards against their 6 to 10 plus cards. No Fun!

I love skip no by Mattel, this is a great way to lessen the longing to play when cards are not convenient. Need push notificationsfor multiplayergames.

Like the option that I can undo a move. Sometimes my fingers seem to not put the card where I intended to. This option is great.

I think it would be fair if persons were aware of the timer for forfeit & please improve graphics and even allow for some kind of personalizing

I liked the old version, but this is a major improvement! I like the new graphics, and the cards move easily with one tap. Unfortunately, you fixed the one flaw I used in the old version. I would tap the top card if it was a joker because I could then see the color of the card underneath. Then I could make a better guess what the next card was before playing my joker. Good catch!
