The rules are simple enough for kids 7 and up to follow, while the decisions about when to keep drawing and when to dump a skunk give adults a real reason to think and compete.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes this work with exactly 2 players, or is it better with a full group?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt works well with 2 players for a quick date-night-style game, and it scales up nicely to 6 players for livelier rounds. The skunk card mechanic actually gets more interesting with more players because there are more neighbors to target.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat do I need to provide to play, beyond what is in the box?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNothing extra is required. The 56 playing cards and all scoring tokens come in the box, so you just need a small flat surface and the people you want to play with.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is included in the box when I open it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInside the box you get 56 playing cards, made up of 8 each of values 1 through 6 plus 8 skunk cards, along with 50 one-point scoring markers and 20 ten-point scoring markers.

The game contains only cards and paper-style scoring tokens, so there are no batteries, electronics, or small parts that pose unusual risks, and the components are designed for repeated handling by kids and adults.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow should I store the game to keep all the pieces together?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe compact 7-inch box is designed to hold all 56 cards and the scoring tokens in one place, so the simplest approach is to always return cards and tokens to the box right after a game and store it on a shelf, in a drawer, or in a travel bag.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow is Dump The Skunk! different from Reiner Knizia's Don't L.L.A.M.A. game?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDump The Skunk! is a standalone game built on the same award-nominated push-your-luck card mechanic as Don't L.L.A.M.A., but with its own skunk theme, artwork, and card set.
