UNO for kids, often called UNO Junior, is a simplified version of the classic UNO card game designed for younger players. The goal remains the same: be the first to get rid of all your cards!
Key Features of UNO Junior
-
Matching is Key: Players match their cards to the card on top of the discard pile by either color or animal/number.
-
Simplified Cards: UNO Junior often features animal illustrations or simpler number schemes to make it easier for children to recognize and match cards. The reference mentions "colors and decorations may vary," highlighting this point.
-
The "UNO!" Shout: Just like in regular UNO, when a player has only one card left, they must yell "UNO!"
How it Works:
The core gameplay is simplified to suit younger players, making it easier to understand and enjoy. The fundamental principles of matching and strategically emptying your hand are still present.
