The Gameplay
The rules are simple, everyone starts with 7 randomized cards of different colors and numbers. We can’t forget about the special ones (block, reverse, +2, +4, change color). The goal of the game is to get rid off all your cards by playing them. There is a main deck placed in the center of the board. You can play cards of the same color or the same number, and also the special cards that basically have all colors “attached” to it (+4, color changer). This game is mostly luck, but playing certain cards can somewhat elevate or increase your chances of winning.
My Thoughts on the Game
If we think about board games, I think UNO is one of the most famous ones worldwide. Most people I know are familiar with UNO. 67
Some people even call it a friend destroyer. Such a simple, countless hours of fun!
The popularity of UNO is such that there are so many variations of the game that has been released, that I could not keep track of all of them even if I wanted to.
Today, I’ll be talking about the standard version, though. The most simple and classic version of UNO.
When you are about to place a card leaving you with just one card in hand, you must say the word “UNO”, otherwise, a player can call you about that, and you would have to pick another card. It’s easier said than done! I couldn’t count the amount of times I have forgotten to say the magic word.
You can find UNO cards sets or even its variations at so many different stores. Price tends to be accessible, so it will always be reliable and accessible. Playing with friends and family can be a fun and chaotic experience at times, but since it’s easy to play it and does not require as much thinking, it’s perfect to have conversations, eating some snacks, listening to music, all while playing. Beware! Many people love to cheat in this game!, so always pay attention to those malignant players who hide their cards.
Anyways! UNO has a place in my heart, and even though there is not really skill involved, I still love to play it.
I rate it 7/10 211
