One fun trick of the game is if you make a row of 3 of the same number, you get to discard the whole row so its a game of risks and luck.

The deck includes cards from -2 all the way to 12 and you take turns pulling from the draw pile to replace cards on your board or to risk it and replace cards you have yet to turn over in hopes for a lower number. The basic premise is to turn over your board of 12 cards (3 rows of 4 cards) and have the lowest score.

I’ve been told this game is similar to the playing card game Golf (I’ve never played that before though so I can’t confirm). If you are within my quarantine bubble, you have probably been challenged to a game of skyjo in the last year. So that brings us to the first game, and my current favorite.
