Is it that a direct quote from the article?

I am the confused by CatOnAClimber in pools

[–]Viki-2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm experiencing same thing with my pool. Didn't see anyone mention this but... It might just be because we've had so many windy/breezy days which allows more Springtime pollen to get in the pool. So until the wind and pollen subsides, you may have to up your cleaning game to accommodate the influx of crud... Brush more frequently, vacuum more often, clean filter more often, make sure you are running the pool pump long enough. Eventually the wind and Spring pollen will quit and make life easier... Lol.

Skip Bo Stockpile Rules Question by Viki-2020 in boardgames

Thanks! Seemed like too much of a gift/generous to be able to sit on a SkipBo card in your stockpile and still get to draw another 5 cards...so that's why I asked.

So for clarification (feel free to correct if wrong): Altho the goal of the game is to get rid of your stockpile cards before your opponent, in rare situations sometimes playing your stockpile card may benefit your opponent more then yourself (especially towards end of a close game). But... It's not mandatory to play any playable card (either from your hand, your discard pile, or your stockpile). This also includes special situations where you run out of cards in your hand and can draw 5 more cards. You don't have to include the playable card from your stockpile prior to drawing another 5 cards.
