Editorial Review

Nickelodeon has made America's No. 1 card game even more fun for families and kids to play. Draw, match, and discard. But be sure to call "Uno!" on your last card. With images of Angelica, Baby Dill, and other rascally Rugrats cartoon characters on the cards, the game is faster and more fun than ever. The first one to discard his or her last card (and rack up points) can call "Uno" with a Rugrats twist, parodying Angelica ("Don't I look Uno?"), Chuckie ("Uno, little kid, Uno!"), or Tommy Pickles ("I got an Uno!"). They'll be in conniptions. --Ava Natov

Product Description

Deceptively simple and ingeniously designed, this classic game offers plenty of strategizing opportunities.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good first UNO game, October 14, 2001

I bought this game for two reasons - I love games, and I have a 5-year old that I want to love games as much as I do.

To that end, I found that Rugrats Uno was a shoe-in. There are fewer cards than a normal Uno game, and the cards are bigger, so they're easier for kids to hold and see. The game has just the right amount of strategy for a 5-year old (e.g. he gets to think about what color he wants to call when he lays a wild card).

This is the first real card game he's played, and we play it plenty. The game says it can be played by kids aged 3 and up. I can't imagine Austen playing it when he was three, but maybe if you've got an exceptionally bright child.

The ORIGINAL UNO was one of my favorite games as a youngster. I tried of course playing with my son, but he just ended up frustrated with me. It wasn't that he didn't like the game it was that he just couldn't play. It was too much, too fast for him. Enter these cards! My First UNO with Rugrats made me want to try again. I thought hey, why not, it's only a few bucks. So home it came to give it a test run with my six-year-old officer (you'll see why I called him a officer later!)to be!

Awww mom, not uno!!

Were the words I heard muttered from my son's mouth. I told him to be patient, it was a UNO even he might enjoy. NO way he states, that game is Boooooooooooooring (in his best Angelica voice). I whip out the red packaging with Tommy, Angelica, and Chuckie on the cover. His eyes get bright and he smiles. 'See', I state, ' Perhaps this will change your mind'. I pull the plastic apart from the cardboard backing, and release the package containing the deck of cards. 36 cards matter of fact, that are in fact bigger and easier to read. The rules of the game are pretty much the same, but of course a little easier.

The outcome? My son won (I took one for the team)and now loves UNO! Of course he has now become "The you didn't say UNO police!" See the rules state that if you have one card remaining and don't say UNO! the other player can call you on it and you have to choose 2 more cards.

See how fast they learn?
