Minecraft Uno

What can you say about Uno, except that you match the color or number on the card at the top of the discard pile and try to get rid of all your cards first?  Sure, there are a few others cards: Reverse does nothing with just two players, but Skip will skip the next player and +2 skips them and also makes them draw 2 cards.  There is a Wild that matches any color.  The Wild +4 matches and makes the next player draw 4 cards, but you can only play it if you have no valid match, otherwise the target player can challenge you and if they catch you bluffing you're the one who has to draw cards.

We got a pack of Minecraft Uno cards at a $5-and-under shop called Five Below, and the cute characters made it a little more fun to play than the usual solid colors.   Rather than calling out numbers, we would call out Sheep, Wolf, Wolf, Creeper ... which was odd but hard to resist.

The box itself was full of tiny text, mostly in Spanish, and lots of logos, that I wrote about in my "Odd Signs and Symbols" blog.  The box bragged that this edition introduced one special rule, but since I never memorized the exact rules of original Uno, any such distinction was lost on us.  I assume it was the Wild +4 Creeper card, which has a pretty beefy paragraph in the little rule booklet.

Overall, we had been meaning to play Uno for a while now, and this added some color to it.
