Skip-Bo Breakers imports Climbing Games concepts into the Skip-Bo brand, familiar to the U.S. market. The traditional Skip-Bo cards are replaced by 64 plastic tiles, shaped like sideways chevrons, and rather than trying to simply sequence their cards, a lead player plays a set of cards: a single tile, a pair, running pairs, or a straight. Then, subsequent players may play the same type of set, or play a "breaker" — analogous to a bomb in traditional climbing game vernacular.
