One guy came over and gave me an estimate of around 5 grand. This doesn't include the goals (anywhere from $500-$1500 apiece). Then about 2 weeks later another guy came over and gave an estimate of 1500. So just keep getting estimates. I would guess there are a lot of people who can do this type of work that are laid off or whatever and can really use the business.
Know the objective. A Skip-Bo deck has a total of 144 cards numbered 1 to 12 and 16 skip-bo cards, which are wild. Each player is dealt a pile 10 - 30 cards, depending on the number of players. Each player's pile of cards is called a stockpile. The point of Skip-Bo is to play every card in your stockpile in numerical order.
In addition to a cribbage board and pegs for scoring, a standard 52-card deck is needed. The king is high, and the ace is low. Players begin the game by cutting one card from a shuffled deck. If players cut cards of the same rank, they draw again. The player with the lower card deals the first hand and deals alternate hands after that. Six cards are dealt face down, and the opponent is dealt to first. The crib is used by the dealer, but the dealer cannot see or play it until after hands have been played. The player not dealing cuts the pack, and the dealer turns over the top card of the lower pack. If it is a jack, the dealer gets two points. Players then alternate laying a card from their hand on the table face-up, starting with the player not dealing.
