I have a 6 year old and a 7 year old who love this game and have been playing it for well over a year.
Its the kind of game you can spend 10 minutes playing or if you have time sit down for an hour and play. It's fun, easy to learn and yet it's not boring. It can also be taken anywhere as its just a small pack of cards.
As a mum I like it as the kids have to keep focused and it teaches them numbers and matching.
Highly recommended for all families to have a pack of these cards.
I've never been into more than one person card games but as a teen my parents talked
me into trying it. I've been hooked since.
Its easy to understand and easy to teach others how to play, even my daughter who has a short attention span enjoys UNO.
It is fun to play with family and also fun to play with adults, you can easily put a drinking game spin on it :)
I love this game it rocks!! It's like 'last card' but much more fun! The cards are all colour coded, which makes it easy to understand. I find there are quite a few cards (108) which means for my little hands I have to put them into two piles to shuffle easily.
Once you've played one game, you're hooked. I find myself saying 'come on have another game', my opponent only ever so reluctantly agrees.
I played this game first when I was about 8yrs old, now the game is still the same with some slight tweakings, the cards have a new look, as the reverse cards only have arrows where as years ago I remember the cards actually saying reverse on them to help people that didn't understand pictures. And the wild card has pictures, without saying wild card on it too.
Overall it's still the great game it used to be, and now since I've been reintroduced to it I'm always nagging my hubby to play with me!
By far the best "Last Card" variant I have ever come across, this is a classic card game from back when I was a pup.
Like riding a bike, you simply can't forget the rules once you have mastered them, and even my 8 year old son is a master-class Uno player now... and he's only been playing for less than a month!
The pack is about the size of 2 standard decks, allowing you plenty of cards to play with, yet remain small enough to drop in the purse or carry-bag if you plan to head out. I popped a pack into my carry-on luggage on a recent trip to Aussy, and had a lot of fun playing it on the plane with a couple of other passengers, one of whom had never heard of it! (Don't know what rock he had been under for the last 2 decades, but hey! By the end of the flight, he was a convert too!)
Overall, if you enjoy card games, and want a game that can be as simple, or as strategic, as you decide to play it, then you need a pack of Uno!
I have been playing this game for years.
Learning it as a Seven-year-old was easier than Scrabble, or Monopoly, but I found it as fun then, as I do now, Twelve years later.
Matching Colour, or picture. It-s that easy! But try not to get caught by another player with a Draw Two or a Draw Four card, or you get even farther away from getting UNO!
If you get to one card left in your hand, you need to call UNO! otherwise, you have to pick up two more cards!
So pick up a pack today, get ready to start counting, and start hoping for rainy days, or any other excuse to play!
