UNO Full Review

 

I know most of you have heard of the game UNO right? It's a fairly simple game. All you gotta do is to draw numbered cards and you will have to match the card with another of the same kind. If you have never heard of UNO before, you're in luck! I will be reviewing this game right now. UNO is a casual card game which requires you to get rid of all your cards before your opponents using techniques such as mixing and matching and sabotaging.

How to play?

Each set contains different kinds of cards. You will have numbered-coloured cards. Which are cards with colours and numbers on it, there is the Wild Card. Which has an oval shape to it and there's 4 different colours. There is also the Wild Draw 4 card which makes the opponent draw four cards, Draw 2 cards are similar and there's also the coloured cards which have nothing but the colour only. Each player will have to draw 7 cards from the shuffled deck of cards. Once all the players are ready, the remaining deck of cards must be placed on the desk or on the floor or on a flat surface. The first player will make the first move by putting a random card on a flat surface beside the remaining deck of cards. 

The next player has to place a card on top of the previous player's card. The player has to match the colour or the number of the previous player's card. If the player is lucky enough to have a Wild Card, he/she will have the privilege to choose a new colour. If the player has a Draw 2 Card that matches the colour of the previous player's card, the next player will have to draw 2 cards and put a another card that corresponds to the colour of the Draw 2 card. Wild Draw 4 card works the same. The next player has to draw 4 cards.

Is it fun?

YES IT IS TOTALLY FUN AND IT'S A TOTAL TIME WASTER! UNO is a very fun and addictive game. Your goal is to finish off all your cards. But once you have one card left on your hand, you will have to shout UNO! Although that won't declare you as the winner, you will only be regarded as the winner if you have gotten rid of all your cards. It's totally awesome seeing your friends and family getting sabotaged by your card choices.
