Customer Review: A classic game
Summary: 5 Stars
Uno is one of the most popular card games in the world, and it's easy to see why. The rules are simple, the play is always different, and there's an element of skill involved, which makes any game fun.
The deck is made up of 4 different color suits, each of which has the numbers 0-9 and what I like to call "power cards". One of the power cards will reverse the order of play. Another will stop the next person from having their turn, and still another will not only stop the next person from having their turn, but it will force them to pick up 2 additional cards. Then there are two kinds of wild cards, one which simply represents any color. But the second kind of wild card not only forces the next player to lose his/her turn, but it also forces them to pick up 4 cards. These cards also can represent any color needed.
To play, you must lay down your cards. How? Simple! Match either the color of number of the card played before you. If the color or symbol is right, you can play one of the colored power cards. If you have no moves, unleash one of the wild cards and change the color!
All in all, Uno is a great game. It's great for speed, since Uno games usually don't last very long, and it's also just plain family fun. I would recommend Uno to anyone who likes a casual game. For all real card aficionados, I would recommend Phase 10, Skip-Bo, etc. as well. Uno belongs in any person's home if they like to have lots of fun with their family in the evening, on weekends, on holidays... or whenever they have time.
Customer Review: Uno High-Low Nightime Hold-'Em
Summary: 5 Stars
What a great game! The rules are simple enough for pretty young kids to play, and it is entertaining for a whole family. There is a slight bit of strategy, there are times when one must make a decision, unload cards selfishly or use the reversals or draws to work in alliance, to batter the leader. A bit of strategy, more strategy than a card game like War, where the fate is decided in the final cut of the cards, just to be ceaselessly played out in robotic fashion. But Uno is a game a chance, it unfolds enough by the pick of the cards that a savvy five year old should be on almost equal footing as an adult.
And the play of the game is a dialogue of sorts. It serves wonderfully for play therapy. Nice for the resistant child who will not open up about his or her inner world, but will engage in a game. You can sit in silence, responding card for card, and there is communication. Communication, and the start of alliance.
There is also, I've only recently discovered, a real cult of Uno out there, with numerous variations, things like "Ascending Rules Uno," "Pirate Uno," "Speed Uno," "Slovenian Uno," even one called "Cut Throat Uno (not a title that appeals to me in play therapy)," as well as solitaire versions of Uno, I guess for no-shows or lonely nights.
Customer Review: Fun To Play That You Never Want To Put It Down
Summary: 5 Stars
This past month i was on vacation visiting my family in Panama. I took out the Uno Cards one night and we started playing. My cousins got addicted and wanted to play every night so we did. The second night i decided to spice it up a bit and add these blank colored cards that i guess come in the packaging as replacements and decided to use them as any card other than a Wild or Wild Draw Four card, meaning it can be used as a regular color and number card, a draw two, skip, or Reverse card. Ah man we had so much fun after i did that, that we kept using the idea, and made the game so much more fun. The last couple of nights we played before i had to leave, just 1 hand took us about a couple of hours to finish, it was like playing a game of Monopoly that you didn't know when it was going to finish as it was back and forth all night. I played with a strategy in mind whch was to prevent anyone but myself from winnning when they were low on cards and i had like 20 cards in my hand and all of them were draw twos and draw four cards and i combined them all in one play and kept the Wild Draw four as my "Uno" card to automatically win the game. It was alot of fun and had me realizing how much fun Uno can be if you set your own rules sometimes to mix it up and keep it fun.Customer Review: Fast Furious Fun
Summary: 5 Stars
Uno is a fast and furious card game that has brought people of all ages together in laughter and sometimes raucous, but acceptable behavior. Play it once, you'll like it, twice, you'll love it, thrice--you'll be screaming "UNO" with the best of them. At get-togethers, we play a lot of new games, yet somehow always return to Uno. We can be quite an aggressive group and strategies abound as you match up your cards to your enemies (um, I mean friends) cards by color, number, or both, be the first one to get down to one card, go out, & then claim victory! Warning: make sure you call Uno! Card buzzards can't wait to catch your mistake! Laughing...Over the years friends have added little additions to our games. My favorite is a special felt hat adorned with tacky memorabilia, we wear it if we get caught not calling UNO--and pray we can pass the hat muy pronto!
When a game can get families & friends together, encouraging back to basics fun, & make you laugh this much, it will always be numero Uno in my book.
