Dinsun Expert Review

Our Expert Score

83/100

Skip-Bo Solitaire is a brilliant digital adaptation of the beloved family card game. It manages to retain the core tension of the original—that desperate scramble to clear your stock pile—while introducing clever solitaire elements that make it perfect for solo play. The flow of the game is snappy, and the digital interface makes managing multiple building piles much easier than on a physical table.

The inclusion of different variants and challenges prevents the game from becoming stagnant. I found the daily puzzles to be a great way to engage with the mechanics in a more thoughtful, strategic way. It’s polished, easy to read, and captures that 'just one more round' feeling that every great card game should have. Whether you're a Skip-Bo veteran or a newcomer, this is a top-tier card experience.

Feels like a money grab
Sat Jul 13 2024 Elfida123

I love cards, especially skipbo, and I heavily enjoyed this app when I started. However, it is very frustrating how hard it is to get coins and energy. The amount of energy you get a day is only worth 3 levels of the adventure at a time, and once you play them theres no other way to get coins to play against real players. Other games have a much higher energy storage system as well as not making you lose the energy if you pass a level. This game however doesn’t care if you pass or not your energy is gone. It is also frustrating how I can make a perfect play on a level based off the cards randomly given to me and yet only receive one star. Id understand if I was making mistakes but some levels there really was no other option for me to play and I still receive one star meaning less coins to play against real people. While you can play against bots for free it is not as fun as playing against a real human who can think and use strategies against you. It really feels like things are limited so you feel forced to pay for coins or energy just to be able to use the app for more than 15 minutes at a time!! No other card game app Ive played has treated players like this and it is very frustrating. I am not one to write reviews either but I am very disappointed with some of the features on the app and would hope the developers would consider changing some things in the future to make it more user friendly since the only reason I have the app is to play with real people online when people in my real life are not able to play the game physically with me.

I don’t just like Skip-Bo, I absolutely love this game. Several , several years ago when my children were in middle school my neighbor and good friend introduced me to this game and I fell in love with it. We would set for hours playing this card game till our bottoms were so numb. Lol, we would get up and walk outside for a bit and walk our dogs till the feeling returned in our bottoms. We played this game almost every day. Her and I would play till it was my girl’s bedtime. We even taught them how to play. My girls are 27 and 30 now and I am still playing this game. I like playing it with the actual cards better because you are with your friends and you sit and have coffee and chat as you play. When whomever won it was very exciting and we were all very competitive when we played to. Now when I play it on my phone I think back about those memories and I smile. I love games that make great memories so u can think about your friends and the great times we had. She still plays but we are in different states now and when I go back home I’m going to get her to download the game so we can play together again. Thanks for making such great games and helping ppl to make wonderful memories. Thanks again, Christine D.

Taking way more coins than supposed to
Sat Sep 10 2022 ksvejfbosvsks

I absolutely adore this game. I started playing the physical version about 12 years ago and when I found the online version a few weeks ago, it brought back fond memories. I’ve noticed for weeks now that my coins were going way too fast, even though I was winning and should have been making up more than I was loosing. Specifically in the adventure map section. A few days ago I started paying attention to my coin count as I started a match, after I won, and then when I played another round. I have screenshots upon screenshots as well as screen recordings to prove what is happening. I have submitted multiple reports through the app itself with no word back from the technical support team. Not even the bot. I just submitted yet another one and noticed the other reports are now nowhere to be found. So I made sure to screenshot this one. I’m pretty upset that the money I’ve spent on the game has been wasted now that I know that this has been happening… every single time. And it’s never the same amount. One time it was supposed to charge 900 coins and it charged 1009. The next time (both tonight) it was again supposed to charge 900 and charged 1906. So the money that I work hard for and then spend on this game to unwind after work is literally just a waste of money. I loveeee this game but if something doesn’t change it’s going to force me to believe that it’s ran by crooks.

Ok so I have been playing this game for a full week and when I play offline it seems like the AI’s have an unfair advantage. Like does this sound normal to you?: You’re playing Skip-Bo and the AI’s get the PERFECT set up and you end up losing. Personally that’s not normal thing for me. Also I don’t like the idea of making you waste your coins to play online. Maybe make it cost less because it’s kind of a waste of coins. Like a full thousand coins!? In my opinion that’s WAYY more than it should be. If any of the creators are reading this think about those things please. Another thing is the earning coins. So, if you run out of coins you have to wait a full hour to get more to be able to play and you only get more if you win. Now, I think that winning offline against the A.Is should give you a few coins. Like maybe 50 to 100, because waiting a full hour to be able to play is kind of ridiculous. Also another idea is just making you have to wait like five minutes to be able to get more coins. Five to thirty minutes would be more acceptable and just make the game lots better. It’s just a shame that you have to wait so long to play. Another thing that is about the coins is that the places that you win in maybe you could earn coins depending on if you got first, second, or third place. Like maybe if you got third place you could get 100, second place 200, and first place however much you’re supposed to get. - Emerson. F

Love/Hate relationship
Fri May 06 2022 bababeth

Let me start by saying.. I love this game! It truly is so much fun and very addicting. I started without signing into Facebook/apple at first. It drove me crazy that I couldn’t change my player name, so I eventually logged in. I hate ads so I had no problem with paying a fee to remove them. I played through the maze of challenges and didn’t see where I “won” coins/points etc but my overall tally seemed up so I was pleased. After awhile, I urged my husband to download the game too so we could try the “play with friends”. We have the physical Skip Bo game at home but it’s a fun twist of the game when we only have a short time to play and don’t feel like physically shuffling cards. After awhile of “creating a room” my husband realized he didn’t have enough coins to play. I was extremely confused by this but again.. hadn’t really paid any attention to the prizes won during my time of playing. I had over 10,000 coins so I started creating the rooms for us. That quickly fizzled out as my coins started running low within an hour and I realized neither of us gained anything by playing each other. No coins are awarded, yet you must “pay” to play. This is so frustrating that we must pay 800 coins to play a 2 player, 10 stack game but don’t earn any coins in return if we win. Doesn’t really add up🤔. Wish this option was free or had better winnings for games played with friends so we can continue.

Lives instead of coins
Tue Jun 07 2022 Disappointed farm lover

Skip-Bo is one of my very favorite card games. So of course when I found out it was an app I was all over it! I really enjoy the online aspect of earning more coins. It’s really fun to be able to play with others but why does it cost so much? Seriously I don’t understand. Why can’t we create a room for like 100 coins? It just seems so silly. We don’t win anything. It’s just for fun but can’t do it for very long. You could do a timer option for every room you create if you don’t want people just only player their friends all day. It’s just way over priced when it’s so difficult to win coins. Which brings me to adventure mode. 🤦🏻‍♀️ I don’t get creators, why are you making us pay sooooo much for each level?!?!? It takes one loss and that’s it. You can’t play again until your free coins. But this also means you can do anything else in the game either except play offline. So what is the point? You earn 1,000 coins and then decide where to play, 1 loss and your out. Are you all really that money hungry? What about all the other games that give you 5 lives with a timer to earn more. I mean it’s perfect. Other stuff cost coins sure but lives are a much better option especially for the adventure mode. This game is barley fun if you can only play for a short time. I hated to give it 3 stars because of my love for the game, but I feel let down with the ridiculous prices to play.

Fun but sometimes not easy
Thu Feb 22 2024 Emilyspencer

So this one is fun to me but is not without flaw. The online costs 2000 coins but so does a level. You get coins for every one level an hour which I think should be more frequent. The levels sometimes don’t ever give you the cards you need if you save them in the correct order to use them. It’s unpredictable of course but the coin set up can make levels take days sometimes. I do feel though because of the kind of the type of game this is, it is to be expected the way the win/lose is set up. I feel it’s consistent for the most part in how it’s set up but you will get stuck on levels for days sometimes. The coin thing is meant to be a money grab, no doubt about that one, but if you can collect the coins almost every hour and save them you can do a few rounds at once. The little mini games it does when you play the levels is fun too. You don’t have to beat the levels to play them. Like the food truck one, you didn’t have to beat the levels to get ingredients. Just had to collect a certain number of bags if I remember correctly. You can be stuck on one level for 5 days and still advance in the mini game. It gets frustrating at times but, unless you spend money, you are forced to take long breaks so you don’t really get too frustrated.

Seems a little unfair
Tue Apr 30 2024 Jojo21324354422

I’ve had this game for a couple of days and there definitely are some issues I’d like to point out. When you play offline, it’s like the AI’s have the upper hand in ever round. I’ve played and waited ROUNDS before I got a card I could actually play meanwhile they are going through cards like crazy. They also always have their pile cards either have more wild cards or their number are back to back what they need. The game is always finished so fast with them. Another issue is that is so expensive to play online considering how fast the games are always over. Someone normally wins with wilds so you go through them pretty fast. There should at least be a prize for second winner to get something back. The level games points system doesn’t make sense. I complete a level with almost no issue and still only get one star? If you have to add 4 more cards it cost the same as restarting the level and same with buying a wild card. If you win a level, there’s not much reward to it. I lost my last game because for some reason the card system is messed up. I went through a whole level with only one 7 that had to be used to clear a pile and at the very end the last number on the board was 9. I had the 6 and 8 but was missing the 7 because I had to use it on a previous pile. Retried the level and for the first 6 cards it was all high numbers with little numbers on the board which doesn’t seem fair. Not a lot of ways to earn coins and the cash for the museum doesn’t really make sense. I’d rather that part be cut out and earn coins than that. The game is fun while you are playing it, it just has so many issues that are unfair to the player.
