Learn the rules to the board game Skippity quickly and concisely - This video has no distractions, just the rules. Don't own the game? Buy it here: https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/85563/skippity RULES: The object of the game is to collect the most complete sets. A complete set is 1 skipper of each color. Lay out the board and randomly place one skipper on each square, leaving the 4 in the center empty. Return the unused ones to the box, they will not be used. The oldest player goes first, then play proceeds clockwise. On your turn, use any skipper on the board to jump horizontally or vertically over any other skipper to an empty space beyond, capturing that skipper. You may not move a skipper to an adjacent empty space, nor jump diagonally. Skippers may only jump exactly 1 other skipper at a time, but you are allowed to string together multiple, subsequent jumps in a single turn, if you want, changing direction in between jumps if needed. Once a skipper has been jumped, it is immediately removed from the board and added to a personal collection in front of you, where you should stack them by color. The game ends when there are no available jumps, then each player counts how many complete sets of 5 different colored skippers they have. The player with the most sets wins. If it is a tie, then the tied player with the most total skippers wins. Still a tie? Then the tied players share the victory.

About Skippity, from BoardGameGeek:

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.
