Remember when families and friends actually played board games, and card games? Instead of a living room with no conversation, just a bunch of people tapping and swiping their phones? Well getting this UNO set can help you relive some of the magic from the good old days. When everyone actually had fun and interacted with each other. Believe it or not, I forgot how to play UNO. Which is weird, considering how much I played it when I was younger. Even as a young adult. But just like riding a bike, you never really lose it. Open the tin, break out the cards and the rule sheet. And in a minute, it all came back. So easy to play, that even toddlers can participate. BONUS TIP: HOW TO GET EVEN THE SMALLEST KIDS INVOLVED So Mattel recommends that kids ages 7 and up can play. But any kid 4-6 can most likely grasp the basic rules, as long as they can recognize numbers. The catch is that it may not hold the attention of a five year old all that great. But there's a way that you can still put the UNO cards to good use, while enjoying some bonding time with your little ones. Here's what I figured out, after a couple of games of UNO with our Little Girl.... Make it a memory game. What I did was go through the cards, and picked out two identical ones for different numbers/colors. So two green 5 cards. Two red 4 cards. Two blue 2 cards. Two yellow 7 cards. I tried to avoid sixes and nines. Basically take eight to twelve cards in total. Then place them in two to three rows, face down (UNO side up). I'd ask our Daughter to flip a card over. Yellow 7. Okay, now try to find the other Yellow 7. And she gets to flip over another card. If it's not the right one, I let her know that was a really good try. Now let's flip the cards over, and try it again. If she gets it right, I congratulate her, and she gets so excited. This way, she can play a simple game that also helps her work on her memory skills. So she can remember where certain cards were, and match them up. When she does well with six cards, I bump it up to eight cards. Then ten cards. It's simple, but fun for the smaller kids that may lose interest in actually playing UNO. And she still gets to have fun with the rest of us. There are no negatives about this set. The only thing that could have possibly been improved, is to have made the tin a tiny bit more travel-friendly. The two stacks of cards are held in plastic, inside of the tin. But it seems like they could have simply made the tin much smaller, and still fit the cards in. Making it a bit easier to just stick in your pocket. That's not a dealbreaker, just thinking out loud. Otherwise, the quality of the cards and tin are both great. Look. It's ten bucks. That's it. People spend more than that on two iced coffees, or a drive-through at a fast food place. But those are things you only get to enjoy once. Whereas you could use these cards in this tin for well over a decade. Plus you can make it a family tradition, or have fun when friends come over. It's advertised as a kid's game. But truth be told, we played it more in our dorm's game room than I ever did as a child. UNO never gets old. Why put it off? Add it to your shopping cart. You've got the ten bucks to spare, right now. Check out. It will show up at your home in as soon as a day, if you have Prime free shipping. And you can take that ten dollars, and turn it into million dollar memories with your family. But you can't do that, if you don't order it. So buy a set today, you'll be thankful you did. Read more
Great Uno set. Regular UNO cards in a tin. That is what sold me on the product. I love the tin case because it allows travel and storage of the game while also providing durability. Our favorite games the boxes are all falling apart and held together with duct tape and whatnot. We won't have that issue with this UNO game. Read more
I love UNO. It’s a simple game that two or more people can play. The game play does not last for too long and it’s pretty interesting but not mentally complicated. Note about the case: You open up this tin case and the cards are split in two and nested in a flimsy paper cutout. I’d ditch the paper cutout and use a rubber band to hold the cards together so they don’t get all mixed up in the tin case. This deck of cards is slightly different from the UNO I am used to. This has 3 cards (if I remember correctly) that are blank / Customizable Action Cards. You are supposed to agree on an Action (e.g., add 10 cards and skip turn) and then write the action onto the card in pencil. I took these cards out of the deck. I just want to play a fast game of UNO without debating about and filling in the blank Action cards. Who has a pencil laying around when they want to play UNO? The greatest thing about UNO is that you don’t need pencil/paper around to play the game. You could keep score but I never do and just play until one player has zero cards. There is also a card that was not included when I was a kid: the Shuffle Hands Card. You throw down this card and then collect everyone’s cards. Shuffle all the cards together and then deal them back to each player, starting with the player to the left of the player who played the card. Deal the cards until there are no cards left. I had to read the instructions a few times to understand the Shuffle Hands Card. It’s an interesting card. Adds a little pizazz to the game. I don’t mind it. Read more
Uno has quickly become a favorite in our household! My kids love playing it and get so excited every time we pull it out. It’s simple to learn, fun for the whole family, and always brings lots of laughs. Durable cards and easy to store. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a fun, family-friendly game! Read more
My family loves to play Uno. The issue we have is that we never have a good storage system for the cards. We used sandwich baggies for the most part and I just don’t like that so I bought this because it has a tin for the cards! Keep the cards nice and it’s easy to travel with. We often take this travel storage Uno with us when we go out to eat at restaurants so we have something to play with while we wait for food. The card inside are like regular Uno cards. The thickness is perfect. The cards are very easy to read. The colors are vivid. Of course, Uno is just a great game to play with your family. My six-year-old son loves to play it. He thinks it’s so funny when he gives us a draw two! Read more
UNO is a staple card game in my household. Colours are vibrant. The cards are a good size for both adults and kids which makes shuffling easier and the case is solid so storage is a breeze. Read more
I got the tin case edition, case is sturdier and not prone to tears as opposed to the cardboard version. The cards themselves seem to be decent quality but I did notice them bending ever so slightly after a couple of games and shuffles. I also noticed that the cards have shapes on them corresponding to their colors. Maybe for people who are colorblind? I’m not entirely sure but that’s a neat addition. It’s fun to play with family and friends and you can’t go wrong adding this to your game night. Good price. Easy to play. The cards have bright colors and shapes with good outlines. Read more
Our family loves UNO!! Kids are 11, 9 and 8 and we have spent hours playing this game since we got it :) I love the tin it comes in- convenient for great storage. Adults have just as much fun as the kids! Highly recommend. Read more
