The World’s craziest game…
Just got crazier.
Uno.
We all know the name. Those of you who keep up-to-date with this blog will know my history with the card game that consumes a forever of time.
It is a sensational card game. It’s been played with friends and lovers. You can even play it with complete strangers such is its amazing ability to wow the mind.
Wars could be avoided with the use of this game, I’m almost sure of it. World leaders should sit down with a deck of Uno and before you know it, we’d all be at peace.
Recently, a woman requested that - for her 20th Birthday - I ensure that I locate and add to her Birthday chest, an instance of an Uno variant, aptly titled; Uno Attack.
Uno with an automatic card launcher. Instead of drawing from the draw pile, you press the button on the card launcher. And the launcher will randomly spit out no cards or a bunch of cards.
UNO Attack includes different cards than the original UNO.
“Draw Two” is replaced by “Hit Two”, which causes the next player to hit the Launcher button twice.
“Wild Draw-Four” is replaced by “Wild Hit Fire”, in which the next player must hit the launcher button until it fires. “Hit Fire” can only be played if the player using the card does not have the color being played in their hand.
“Discard All”, which, when played, allows the player to discard all cards of the color of the “Discard All” card.
“Wild Hit All”, which requires every player, except the one that played the card, to hit the Launcher button, is added. “Hit All” can only be played if the player using the card does not have the color being played in their hand.
“Trade Hands”, allows the person playing the “trade hands” card to trade his hand for another player’s. Perhaps the most dangerous, powerful card in the Attack game. Always good for those last minute situations when your opponent is down to one card and you’ve just picked up another 5 to add to your already losing 20.
Fantastic game.

You didn’t remember to check! I need a slap and need shouting at!
I didn’t get it again! I’m so rubbish!! Want to get it for when I go away next week, so on those days when I’m sat by the pool with nothing to do I could play or when we’re back at the apartment, later in the evening, have a game! 
Make sure I by it before I go!!! 
This new uno looks fun!
Maybe I’ll get into it when I finally get round to buying the game!

I know, I completely forgot! Had my little post-it note down too… hehe
If you’ve not got it by Christmas (still quite likely) I’ll have to get it for you!
This one is seriously awesome! Dare I say it… better than the normal!

Ohhh. Its so much fun. And I like how you called me a woman. That’s…a little daunting. The same woman that just turned 20 is the same woman that requested board games and such for her birthday. hmm

Well they call me a man - and I’m still obsessed with games, Marvel comics stuff etc…
20 going on 9… just as I’m 24 going on 7
You’ll always be my girl though
