UNO

Description

--- UNO is a fast-paced card game where players compete to empty their hands first, scoring points based on opponents' remaining cards, with matching and special cards adding strategy. Key mechanics include: - *Hand emptying race* Players aim to play all cards from their hand while opponents retain cards for scoring. - *Card matching* Play a card matching the top discard pile card's color, number, or word. - *Draw and pass* Draw one card if unable to match; pass turn if still unable to play. - *Wild and special cards* These cards introduce variability and strategic depth. - *Scoring victory* First to empty hand wins; points awarded from opponents' leftover cards. UNO is a commercial card game, essentially a branded iteration of the public domain Crazy Eights, which uses a standard deck. Players take turns matching cards to the discard pile's top card by color, number, or word; inability to match prompts drawing from the draw pile, with a pass if still unable. Wild and special cards enhance gameplay dynamics. The core objective is racing to deplete one's hand entirely, thereby scoring points equivalent to the values of cards left in opponents' hands. This entry encompasses all themed UNO variants that retain the standard card set without introducing novel cards. ---
