Let's Play a Game! A place to discuss all things board game, regardless of genre. Everything from Scrabble and Catan to Ark Nova, 1830 and beyond is fair game! That means we have blackjack. Bring your own hookers, sorry.

Rules:

  1. Play nicely with others here.
  2. Discussion should be at least somewhat related to board games and all that entails.
  3. Self-promotion is allowed within reason. Don't go overboard!

Mattel could just print whatever the hell they wanted onto cards and release it without rules and people would find a way to play them.

Uno is just a corporate spinoff from Mao anyway. I believe thats why they don't like house rules, once people go back to having fun with cards making their own rules they no longer need a product.

Do you mean Mau-Mau (TIL that's the English name)? But yeah I'm surprised Uno sells.

Recently got a new uno deck, it literally has blank cards for you to make up your own rules.

Their new official rules did say you couldn't stack the +2/+4s, but we played that way anyway and now my neice won't play uno anymore (she's gotta learn how to lose lol)
