Sketched on the street usually in chalk, a Skelly board allows a game for two to six players. A sidewalk is sometimes used, offering greater protection from vehicular traffic; however, the asphalt on a typical city street is smoother and provides better game play than a bumpy concrete sidewalk. Game time varies, but a match of two to three players is usually completed in 20 minutes. Local variations in rules are common and make it difficult to document the game. Rule variations are agreed upon by players before starting a game, especially when players from different neighborhoods play against each other. ## Key features - Play anywhere, not just streets - Compete with friends globally - Become the top player - Adaptable rules for varied play - Fast-paced competitive gameplay ## Recent user reviews (10 of 10) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/skelly/id1377814541/reviews.md ### 1/5 — How can u screw up a simple game app? *2023-10-18* This should not be even in the Apple Store at this stage of development. There is “No” online play (guess I was the only one to download it), the Ai players even in expert mode can not hit the first block to even pretend to advance. Like it’s At, how can you screw this up? Then if you land your top on another top the glitch prevents you to shoot your top. And their is no “rule” to reset the top. If you play a game like “pool” and scratch it will reset. You could’ve altered the rule of a pool game to get this function. This needs to be pulled and fix the bugs. Then make it enjoyable to play. There is nothing remotely fun about this game. I actually think this is the worst online game I’ve ever played simply because it’s pointless in its set up and play features. And I rarely do reviews but this? I had to write on it. ### 5/5 — new updates *2021-05-05, version 1.234* 💯💯💯 ### 5/5 — Finally! *2021-04-14, version 1.233* Brings back memories.

Kept me and my friends busy with pure fun. My board is still behind my old home. I painted it when I was 10yrs old. You can’t many kids these days playing the game. I added more #numbers-boxes to make the game last longer and more challenging. One game that will never leave me. In Baltimore City. ## Frequently asked questions about Skelly! ### What is Skelly?
