Mattel Games UNO Show ‘em No Mercy Card Game in Storage & Travel Tin for Kids, Adults & Family Night with Extra Cards, Special Rules & Tougher Penalties (Amazon Exclusive)

Hot ticket item this Christmas! I was introduced to it at a Christmas party mid-December. The next day, I purchased it as a Christmas gift for my husband. And then my husband purchased it as a Christmas gift for his sister!When the product arrived, I initially thought it got roughed up in transit because of how scratched up the tin looked. Then I was confused, because the cards had scratches on them too. That one was on me for not looking at the photos closely enough! The version that comes in a regular card box (which my friend has and was what I thought I was ordering) doesn't have that detail. BUT, considering how this Uno shows NO MERCY - it makes sense now. And I love the detail lol!The game itself, when I played as a first timer and then played as the experienced player in a group new to this version of Uno, requires a lot of repetitive instruction throughout gameplay. Just with remembering the different rules, the new cards, etc. Nothing too time consuming. I've played with people ages 8-65, and all of them were able to play just fine, and all had fun!New cards include ones that allow you to play twice (skipping everyone's turn so that it is yours again), one that allows you to discard all of your cards of a certain color, one that requires everyone to pass their entire hand to the next person according to the current direction, a card that enables you to trade hands with a player of your choice, one that makes the next person choose the color and then draw until they get a card of the color they called, and of course draw 6 and draw 10 wildcards. The draw 2, 4, 6, 10 cards can be piled on - if I play a draw 2, the next person can ALSO play a draw 2 (or greater), and if they do, then the NEXT person has to play a 'draw' card of equal or greater value to the one played prior - if they do not have one, they have to draw the sum total of all the draw cards played. To date, the highest I've seen someone draw all at once is 20!If your hand exceeds 24 cards, you are out and whoever played something that caused your demise receives 250 points. If you are the first to play all of your cards, then your points are the sum total of all the opponents hands (number cards are valued at their number, action cards are worth more, and wild cards even more if I remember correctly.) First player to 1000 points wins. I've seen this take anywhere from 10 mins to close to an hour - just depends!The game had enough strategy to be interesting, but enough of a luck component that I haven't seen anyone get irrationally angry about losing or being knocked out haha. The only minor drawback I've seen is that if you're knocked out early, you could be sitting around for a while watching.

Compared to the original uno the game does last a bit longer if not using the 25 card rule. So that’s a plus or minus depending on what you want.A deck of uno no mercy playing cards, what’s to not like, it’s as described.

Just as described, just as pictured, so much so that I don’t want to take it out of the tin if you would. Think it’s going on display in the family room.Never even heard of this, until I came across some patients at work playing it, and had the esteem pleasure of being felt a hand. Tougher rules, it’s brutal, ruthless not to be played by sore losers. This is a world wind of fun.

For highly competitive players! If you have players that can’t handle regular Uno, without their feelings being hurt, they will not enjoy this version. We however have some very competitive card players in our family and we had a blast playing this game. NoMercy means just that! Enjoy!

If you ever played the small version with the max amount of people you need this. It's a couple hours of fun, even with 3 people this game doesn't end soon. As soon as your done it's a fun sigh of relief cause your mentally done.

Hahaha 😂 this UNO Game is long and Hard ☝️ works best with 4 or more people I recommend 6-8 and maybe play as teams.The only drawback the cards and symbols are small better wear your 👁️ eyeglasses 👓 lol 😂

This comes with 2 deck of uno cards, but has the typical uno card sizes. I would think this is probably a game for age range of 7 to 80+ years. Anything younger, you might make that kid cry if you go no mercy on them. It is for sure a good gift, and it comes in metal case/closure. Make sure you got a few hours to spare when playing this with the no mercy strategy it could take a few hours, the only catch to it is that if you play by the no mercy rules, if at anytime anyone is hold 25+ cards, you are automatically out of the game, so it could go quick if players start to get knocked out, so good strategy.The cards have durable quality (again specially with the metal enclosure to keep them protected when not in use), for sure a good value for the money.

Love this game!! It is so much fun to play with family and friends! You have to have thick skin and remember it's a game!
