I first played this game nearly 25 years ago with neighbors and loved it. The game is simple and fun, yet there is an element of strategy involved in when you play the action cards. And like any great game, there has never been a single session when people weren't laughing and having a great time during play. Though it has been years since I first played this fun game, I returned to it recently and play it with my wife about once a week. Even with just two players, we have a great time. I purchased the Uno Original card game on Amazon for a mere $5.49. It has brought us hours of enjoyment. Great game.

Ordered this as a gift.....what can I say? Everyone loves UNO! Arrived very quickly, just as promised.

I've been playing UNO since I was a kid and it is one of my favorites. It is a great game for kids because it is not difficult at all. It is like Crazy 8s, only easier and more fun. You can play with 2 people or combine decks and play with lots of people.

Uno is one of the most popular card games in the world, and it's easy to see why. The rules are simple, the play is always different, and there's an element of skill involved, which makes any game fun.

The deck is made up of 4 different color suits, each of which has the numbers 0-9 and what I like to call "power cards". One of the power cards will reverse the order of play. Another will stop the next person from having their turn, and still another will not only stop the next person from having their turn, but it will force them to pick up 2 additional cards. Then there are two kinds of wild cards, one which simply represents any color. But the second kind of wild card not only forces the next player to lose his/her turn, but it also forces them to pick up 4 cards. These cards also can represent any color needed.

To play, you must lay down your cards. How? Simple! Match either the color of number of the card played before you. If the color or symbol is right, you can play one of the colored power cards. If you have no moves, unleash one of the wild cards and change the color!

All in all, Uno is a great game. It's great for speed, since Uno games usually don't last very long, and it's also just plain family fun. I would recommend Uno to anyone who likes a casual game. For all real card aficionados, I would recommend Phase 10, Skip-Bo, etc. as well. Uno belongs in any person's home if they like to have lots of fun with their family in the evening, on weekends, on holidays... or whenever they have time.

My siblings, cousins, friends, and I used to love this game when we were kids. Well, just for kicks, I figured that I would buy the cards and "test" them on my 6 year old. I figured that maybe it would distract him from the television. He loved the game! It was easy for him to catch on and now he takes them to Granny's house to play with her.

Yippee! Uno is back in my life again!

We don't buy this game for educational value. We're all adults and frequently play one of several games, including UNO, in the evenings.

UNO is a game the entire group enjoys.

My only complaint is that the cards are of very low quality, and quickly become difficult to shuffle and deal after only a few weeks of play. I would love to see a version of this game for adults with higher quality cards.

Uno is the exact same game as Crazy-8s, the classic card game played for years with a regular deck of playing cards. So, you don't actually need to purchase this deck of cards to enjoy this awesome game. Just look up the rules for Crazy-8's on the internet. And while you're at it, King's Corners and the "adult" version of Go Fish (also played with a regular deck) seem to appeal to the same age group of about age 5 to adult. And, by the way, I do love Uno/Crazy-8s and play it all the time with my kids. They learn matching, strategy, and, it's just lots of fun. I recommend it! P.

Whether your home with your kids or just hanging with your friends or lover.. this game is great for entertainment and quality time. The kids will love it and so will you. This game is for, 4 year olds and up, your never to old to play uno. And the best part, u could play with up to 4 people, and maybe even more.

I bought this game as I now have my own apt. with my boyfriend and haven't played it in years. We have so much fun together playing this game! Plus, it was cheap and arrived very quickly - what more can you ask for?

We play a lot of cards and uno is one of our favorite and we have wore out several decks so I was thrilled when I saw them at Amazon a lot cheaper than other places I had purchased from in the past and my only regret is that I didn't buy more than one set but definitely will go back to Amazon to purchase.

What can I say? I mean it's UNO!! You learn at least one Spanish word and work with colors and numbers. Most ages can play and it's fun if you're 8 or 80. I know I hope I'm playing it until I'm 80. Fun for all!

We were very pleased with the condition of the cards and the timely fashion they were shipped.

There isn't much I can say about this game that hasn't already been said. But I will.

This game is labeled for ages 7+. I'll tell you, though, my boys were absolute UNO ADDICTS when they were 4. It's really easy to learn, so they caught on very quickly. For about 6 months, they played this game with my husband every day as soon as they got up in the morning and the minute he got home from work each day. We have taken a deck with us everywhere we've gone incase we've needed something to do to pass time.

We would never be without this game.

Playing with the little kids, we never keep score. We just play that whoever goes out wins.

Works for us.

This is a great family game. It is easy to play great for the whole family. It comes in a nice box and easy to take with you when you travel. Every family needs at least one Uno Game! I have found the best prices on Uno games on Amazon too.

Uno has been a family favorite that I have played since I was a child. I used to spend my school summer break, up all night playing with my family. I have so many memories tied with this game and it is just great fun for everyone! There is nothing difficult about it, just lots of fun! I recommend Uno to anyone and everyone.

What a great game! The rules are simple enough for pretty young kids to play, and it is entertaining for a whole family. There is a slight bit of strategy, there are times when one must make a decision, unload cards selfishly or use the reversals or draws to work in alliance, to batter the leader. A bit of strategy, more strategy than a card game like War, where the fate is decided in the final cut of the cards, just to be ceaselessly played out in robotic fashion. But Uno is a game a chance, it unfolds enough by the pick of the cards that a savvy five year old should be on almost equal footing as an adult.

And the play of the game is a dialogue of sorts. It serves wonderfully for play therapy. Nice for the resistant child who will not open up about his or her inner world, but will engage in a game. You can sit in silence, responding card for card, and there is communication. Communication, and the start of alliance.

There is also, I've only recently discovered, a real cult of Uno out there, with numerous variations, things like "Ascending Rules Uno," "Pirate Uno," "Speed Uno," "Slovenian Uno," even one called "Cut Throat Uno (not a title that appeals to me in play therapy)," as well as solitaire versions of Uno, I guess for no-shows or lonely nights.

I love playing Uno with my friends and family. I think Uno is helpful to teach younger kids who to say their 1,2,3's in spanish and have loads of fun at the same time. There is also four blank cards one in each color so you can replace a lost or damged card or make your own cards [for example wild draw six].

Uno is an excellent game for any age 7 and up (according to the makers; I've watched a sharp 4 yr old enjoy playing with only slightly modified rules). It is easy to learn but continues to provide challenging play for years. The rules are easily modified to accomodate diffenent skill levels or time available. This one doesn't need bells and whistles, it is great as it is.

Although Mattel would not encourage this (or even suggest it) playing for points lends itself to modest wagers, and to an extent, allows for handicaping with players of different skill levels.

The educational value is not obvious, but is significant. It teaches players to think ahead, consider branches and sequels of actions, and strategy.

The compact size (like two standard poker decks) allows this one to travel well, and can be played on trains, planes, boats, buses, and in tents.

Uno is a colorful and fun card game that will have you hooked after 10 minutes. The pace is fast, and there's plenty of strategy to keep your interest. The player who empties their hand first wins, but watch out - you can easily go from having 1 card in your hand to 10 cards if you don't have the right color. You'll be saying, "let's play again!"

If you are reading this review because you have never played Uno, you are in for a real treat. This card game is fun and easy for the whole family (while allowing for strategizing). It's actually addictive and families will tend to play this card game for weeks once they have it in their homes.

Highly recommended for family entertainment or even over beers with friends. I have not met the person yet who doesn't love to play Uno.

This is a great game in less your playing w\ sore losers(tylor w.)

I grew up playing this game with my Grandma and I recently taught my husband. Its a very simple game but it is alot of fun especially if you love card games which we do.

Uno is a very entertaining game and it goes by real fast so it does not take forever to complete and the rules are very simple and easy to learn. This game is only boring if you are someone who is so pathetic (like s. martin) that you cannot comprehend the simple rules to play this game.

Uno is currently my favorote game because I play with it about once in two days. It's more fun to play it with 3 or more people than 2 people because there's more action. When you first buy it, it just looks like a regular card game but Uno's way more than that! Uno's fun for everyone!

I've always loved Uno because the whole family can play it and it's portable. If you're looking for a game to occupy the kids in the car or on a camping trip, then Uno is definitely for you. Adults and children can enjoy this game. Also recommmend Skip-Bo

Recently I was re-introduced to the marvelous card game called "Uno". I love this game. My family used to play it all the time. I decided to order a deck. I am disappointed in the size and thinness of the cards. They also do not have the same graphics as the orignial game that I used to play, which is not a big deal but... Card size is small 3.5" X 2.25" compared to the "original" cards which were approx 5" X 7". I did find the original cards on another site and think I will be happier with these!

When I played this at my grandmother's house, I was hooked! They're these liitle cards that are in four colors and numbered from 1 through 9 and with Reverse, Draw 2, and Wild Cards. It helped my little cousins' math skills and was extremly fun! This is a must buy!

I'm 14 and got this game when I was younger. I was struggling a little with math until I got this game. It helped me realize color and number patterns in such a fun way that I didn't even notice it! Since then I've been playing it at least once a week. I tutor young children and for those with math problems, I use the Uno game as a fun and educational tool. Parents have come to me and congratulated me with the successfullness of it. Its the ultimate game in a compact size. The cards last for a pretty long time. I've had one deck for the past 3 years and its still in tip top shape! So for anyone who plans to buy it, it's definately the RIGHT CHOICE!!!!

I love this game. It is a great family game though it might cause
a few arguments or break-ups(aaaaah! just kidding). Don't let this happen. It's just a game like any other game. You're just having fun. That's the No. 1 reason for playing any game with children or adults to have fun. Hey, How would like to be given 4 draw 4 cards????? get the picture???? Another good point, NEVER GIVE UP SO EASY,ITS NEVER OVER TILL IT'S OVER,comebacks
can happen. MY father-in-law was shut out, while I just needed 1 point to win(499 points to 0 4 or 5 of us were playing)and he came back and beat us with 500 points. Play this fantastic card game and see what I mean. Buy it and I hope you'll enjoy it too.

This is the most exciting game where me and my seven year old nephiew would play for hours! If you wait somewhere for something or someone you shuld always have "uno" with you. The time goes so fast you can't even imagine...and is really fun! Thanks for having it on the market...keep the great work and I hope I can find even more creative and as fun games:-)

Care for a few additional rules? Draw 2's compound...that is, someone puts a draw 2 down, the next person can put another draw 2 down, which makes it a draw 4 to the next person. Another draw 2 on top of those makes it a draw 6 to the next person, and so on. Draw 4's can be deflected with reverses or skips. And when ever a person has to draw 4 or more cards, the group sings a song of lament and then observes a moment of silence.

Mattel's game of Uno has been a fun and entertaining card game for many years. The basic rules for playing Uno are as follows:

1. The deck consists of four suits (red, green, blue and yellow). Each suit contains several sets of cards numbered "0" through "9", as well as the cards "Skip", "Reverse" and "Draw Two".
2. In addition to the cards of the four suits, there are two sets of wild cards: regular "Wild" cards and the dreaded "Wild Draw Four" cards.
3. To begin play, each player begins with a score of zero. The dealer deals each player seven cards and places the remaining cards face down in the center of the playing area as the "draw stack", then turns the first card up and sets it down to create the "discard stack".
4. The goal of the game is for each player to discard as many cards as possible before the other players can. To discard a particular card, it must match the current card at the top of the discard stack either by suit or by number (or "Skip", "Reverse" or "Draw Two"). A "Wild" card can be played at any time to change current suit color. A "Wild Draw Four" card can only be played when the player has no cards matching the current suit color. If the player has no matching cards, he/she must take a new card from the draw stack.
5. When a "Skip" card is played, the next player loses his/her turn. When a "Reverse" card is played, player direction is reversed. When a "Draw Two" card is played, the next player must take two cards from the draw stack and lose his/her turn. When a "Wild Draw Four" card is played, the next player has to take four new cards and loses his/her turn.
6. If a player has only one card remaining, he/she must call out "Uno" to let the other players know. Otherwise, he/she runs the risk of having to take two new cards from the draw stack if another players catcher her/him with only one card.
7. The first player to discard all of his/her cards is the winning player of the hand. The point values of all the remaining cards that the other players have are summed together and become part of the winning player's overall score.
8. The first player to reach 500 points wins the game.

Uno is a fun game that both children and adults can enjoy for hours. Overall, I rate Uno with 5 out of 5 stars and highly recommend it to everyone.

The original UNO is a fun loving family orientated game that has been around for decades. In many families it has become a splendid tradition to play this together. This game is wonderful for all ages and it never loses its excitement.
The UNO card deck is very attractive and eye catching; its vibrant colors allow children to focus. UNO is a relatively inexpensive game; it can make for a fabulous gift. It also has very simple rules and once you learn them the fun begins.
UNO Original is a very beneficial game for children. It demonstrates to them many important skills and strategies that will help your children in school and later in life. It teaches children how to win and lose. It shows them that it is only a game.
This brilliant card game helps children to recognize colors and numbers. It is very convenient and compact in size; you can take it almost anywhere. The cards are very durable so they can survive just about everything. Parents this is a fun and educational way to get your children away from the television. It allows children the opportunity to use there brains and teaches them the ability to interact with others. It also allows parents time to spend quality time with their children in a way that both the parent and the child will enjoy.
The UNO Original is a wonderful and wholesome game for all ages which has never lost its excitement. This game is anything but boring, dull, dry, or dreary. This game gets the entire family together for good old-fashion family fun. This game will honestly be a priceless addition to your home. I can remember playing this game as a little girl; it was my favorite and it still is. I only hope that UNO will stay alive for many generations to come.

Uno is one of those classic games that just doesn't grow old. It's appropriate for all age groups, except for the very youngest. It is a game that is easy to keep interesting, because of all the variations on rules. It is also a small game, which means it travels well.

On my college campus my friends and I are known as "The Uno People". I'm not kidding! We play everywhere - at lunch, after choir... the list goes on! I recommend this game for anyone ages 4 & up.

If you're tired of the regular rules you might try "camp rules" - a very fun mix of Uno and the popular high school card game, Mow. It's played the same way as Uno with some additional rules: you can't laugh when a 1 has been played, no talking while a 6 is on the top of the pile, when you play a 7 you must pass your hand to the left, and anyone can play at any time if they play a card of the exact color & number - and the person after them goes next. These extra rules really liven up the game and make it even more fun than the original!
