"traditional" family card game Skip-Bo has nice numbers.
Does anyone know the font? [edit: tipped off by replies, i think it's ITC Serif Gothic Heavy]

#FamilyGameNight: 6 for #SkipBo, 5 for #UnoGame, then finally 2 remaining for #Cribbage.

#OneNightUltimate Werewolf first, then #SpiteAndMalice at #GameLunch today.
Even after it was described to me, I'm still surprised how similar Spite and Malice is to #SkipBo.

@christianp I really like Skip-Bo as a family game. The rules are really simple. There's a Junior version of the game that can easily be played with kids as soon as they can count to 10.
In normal Skip-Bo, the strategies can get quite complex, but the payoff is very slim. That means you can think really hard about how to play optimally, but you'll still lose a lot to more basic strategies. (My family hates the way I discard, but I think I do it very well.)
#SkipBo rules: you have a pile of cards that you're trying to get rid of. Only the top card of that pile is flipped up at any given time. There are four piles in the middle where everyone is trying to play. These are started by playing a 1, then get removed when a 12 (highest card) is played on them.
On your turn, you first draw up to 5 cards in your hand, then can play cards from your hand, the top of your main pile as well as the top card of any of your four discard piles. If you play all five cards in your hand, you immediately draw 5 more.
After you are done playing as much as you can/want, you must discard one card from your hand to the top of one of your dicsard piles. (This way you draw at least one card at the beginning of your next turn.)
Play then continues to the next player. The winner is the one to first empty their main pile.
The Skip-Bo card is a "wild" that can be played as any number.
