UNO, America's No. 1-selling card game, has a whole new twist. You'll still encounter all the elements that make UNO so unpredictable and challenging, but add to that a motorized card launcher that shows no mercy and you've got UNO Attack. The object of the game is still to get rid of all your cards. The UNO command cards direct the game by telling players when to trade hands, discard, reverse the playing order, or skip a player. Beware the dreaded Hit command, though, as this translates into a game of Russian roulette. You never know when the card launcher is going to fire off a stream of UNO cards just for you! For 2 to 10 players. Requires three C batteries (not included). --Alison Golder 
Easy setup gets your card launcher ready for an upredictable UNO attack. |

UNO Attack Fun BUT NEEDS IMPROVEMENT

| I agree with the all of the previous viewers. I have had three different ones and I've had trouble with all of them. I believe the motor needs to be a heavy duty motor and there needs to be a way that you do not have to clean the belt every few hands. I have not been able to find new cards either. However, the game is fun and it would be nice if it could be improved to perform better. I do not understand how they can guarantee the product for two years when it won't work properly for 2 weeks. I suggest that if you have one that doesn't work, send it back because it does have a two year warranty. This is the only way they are going to find out that they need to improve it and replace the original ones. |
Even appeals to teenagers!!

| I bought this game for Christmas for my 9 year old, but our family of six all quickly became addicted to it over the vacation. We've always liked playing UNO when the kids were younger, but as my kids have gotten older, of course, it's gotten boring. This version of the game appeals to everyone. Instead of drawing cards from the deck, you push a button on the card dispenser and get a random number of cards, anywhere from 0 to 10. (My fifteen year old did a statistical analysis of how many hits you are likely to make before getting cards, and how many cards are likely to come out, but I'll let you figure out your own strategy.) This random card firing means that you must use a different play strategy than the old UNO, a more complicated one. There are also new cards in the deck, such as "hit-fire" in which you must press the button until the machine fires some cards at you. There is also the nefarious "trade hands" card, so that when you think you about to get UNO, you might have to trade your hand with someone. All of this adds up to a much more challenging game. Even my fifteen year old likes to play UNO Attack, and sometimes when a group of them come over to just hang out, they get UNO Attack out. It's the randomness of the card machine that appeals to them. I haven't had the problems with my card dispenser that some other reviewers have. You do need to keep the cards clean and unbent, and put them carefully in the dispenser, and then we've found it works just fine. |

| We love this game! I reccomend this game for ALL ages. I do have a problem with the game... Due to the constant use, I have found the cards wear out easily, and I still haven't been able to find replacements for the game. I also have found the device which shoots out the cards needs much improvement. Over a short period of playtime, it spins however won't disperse the cards. I first thought it was the batteries and replaced them, but this was not the case. I have cleaned the device as reccommended by the manufacture but am still having problems. This could be very frustrating to children. We have only had this game since Christmas and already we are having trouble. |

| We have played the game since Christmas, But it only lasted one month before the cards were wore out. I have not seen any place to buy replacements, so the game is no longer usable. |

| This game is so much fun. My Son laughed so hard when the cards shot out that he had to catch his breath. We have not had any problems with this game - although still new. I highly recommend this game for all ages. We really enjoy it as a family. Best Uno Game So Far. |
