Editorial Review

America's number one card game now has three new fun ways to play. The object of the game is to be the first to reach a score of 500. You can win points by getting rid of all the cards in your hand before your opponents do. You also earn points for cards left in your opponents' hands. The easy-to-follow instructions are included, as well as detailed descriptions of the game's variations and strategies. It travels well and is great for families; Uno can be played by up to 10 players. Enjoy--and may the best player win! --Peggy Etra

Uno is a wonderful game for the whole family. It doesn't matter if you are all kids, or adults everyone will enjoy this game.

I started playing Uno when I was in elementary school, during rainy recesses (which happens a lot in Seattle). It was a great game that get a lot of kids involved and helped to pass the time.

Recently my family went on a trip and someone brought Uno with them. I hadn't played it for years, but I immediately got into the spirit of things, and was amazed to remember most of the rules. (Although it seems that everyone plays Uno a little differently) We spent hours each night around a table together, talking, having fun, and playing Uno. I don't think I have ever had so much fun with my family.

I would recommend the game to anyone especially if they are looking for a way to create special family time.

5.0 out of 5 stars A classic card game for all ages, August 6, 1999

This review is from: Original UNO Card Game (Toy)

Uno and Clue were the two games that my friends and I played constantly while we were growing up. We probably played UNO more often because it was more portable, was owned by more people and could be played by younger siblings. Uno is an entertaining and challenging game because the word cards (skip, reverse, wildcard,draw two, and the much coveted wildcard-draw 4) mean that play is constantly changing. It's similar to the game eights, but the use of colors rather than suites and the larger than normal cards make it easier for younger children to grasp. It is fun and addicting even for adults (who will also like the colors and large cards). I played it recently with my younger sister, who is eleven, her friend, and my roomates, who'd never played before. My roomates were hooked, I enjoyed it just as much as when I was in elementary school, and we were all beaten soundly by people half our age. Definitely a classic card game.

5.0 out of 5 stars My 5 and 8 year old both like this game, January 13, 2000

Both of my kids (boy-5, girl-8) like to play this game, and so do I (the Mom). The only difficulty for my 5-year-old is that he has trouble holding the cards, so he puts them behind a box. Of the games we have, this is one of the most requested when I offer to play a game with them. It's similar to crazy 8s, but there are more types of special cards, which make it more fun.

Other good features of the game: (1) It's short, typically 5-10 minutes. (2) The house rules that are included encourage you to make up your own variations. (3) Remembering to say "Uno" with only one card left is a fun twist.
