I won’t explain the rules of Uno, I’ll just say if you don’t know already then you’re in for a real treat if you ever meet me. In fact, you’re actually reading a review from a celebrity. I’m the Wild4Uno guy in their screenshot for the steam page. I’m still waiting on those royalties by the way, but I digress.

It feels weird saying this about a silly card-based video game, but Ubisoft’s Uno is a very sleek experience. It’s colorful, streamlined, and does well to stretch the mileage offered by Uno’s basic premise. Sure, people still rage-quit way too much, and heaven help you if you ever find a match where people are using custom card art which massively changes the look of every single card. Even with all that though it’s still the definite way to play with your boys or just to wind down for the night.

It’s also where my mind was massively expanded as to the extent to which the game can be modified with rules. Playing a round with 7-0, jump-in, draw to match, stacking, bluffing, and force play will change you as a person. It can also significantly prolong a match, So be wary when making or joining a match how you’d like it set up. Recommending this game is much the same as recommending the actual card game. If you enjoy Uno (which you better you goober), then you’ll understand the draw. Of course some people would only ever play with friends, which I can also understand. Costing only five bucks and with only a miniscule amount of investment required, Uno makes for a great evening decompressor or a fantastic idle game just to kill time or do some multitasking.
