Skippity (2010)
2-4 Players | 30 Mins | Ages 5+
If Susan McKinley Ross' Qwirkle can be described as a simplified Scrabble – with colors and shapes replacing letters – then her 2010 release from MindWare – Skippity – might be dubbed "checkers for the Timothy Leary set".
On a blazingly colored 10x10 game board, players randomly lay out one hundred tokens in five colors, then remove the tokens from the four central squares. On a turn, a player takes a single token and jumps orthogonally over an adjacent token to an empty space, capturing the token jumped. Multiple jumps are possible, with the player capturing each token jumped.
The game ends when no more jumps are possible. Players then compare their stacks of tokens, with each set of five differently-colored tokens counting as a set. The player with the most sets wins, with the tiebreaker being the number of tokens captured but not in sets.
It's easy to learn and fast to play-kids will jump at the chance to play Skippity. Use straight-line leaps to capture and stack the skippers you hop over. Any skipper can be your jumping piece; they're all fair game! Capture the colors you need while blocking your opponents from capturing the colors they need.
When you have one of each color, its a set. The player with the most complete sets wins.
