OBJECTIVE OF THE GAME

In UNO: All Wild!, the main objective is to be the first to get rid of all the cards in your hand. The difference is that all the cards are special, i.e. they all have effects, such as jumping, flipping and drawing cards, making the game much more dynamic and unpredictable. I remember playing it with my friends on a rainy night, where each round was accompanied by laughter and surprises, as no one knew what to expect with the next card played. This version of UNO definitely intensifies the pace and strategy, keeping everyone on their toes until the very last moment.

Tips for playing

Here are some tips for doing better in the game UNO: All Wild!:

  • Always look at your opponents' cards. This helps you predict which card they might play next.
  • Save the powerful cards, such as the Color Swap, for critical moments in the game.
  • Watch out for the hand change cards. They can change the course of the game completely.
  • Try to get rid of the cards with the highest number first, especially at the beginning.
  • Use the "Jump" card strategically to prevent an opponent from playing just before you win.

GAME mechanics

  • Hand Management - In UNO: All Wild!, strategy revolves around how players manage their cards. Each card has an immediate impact, as they are all special cards. This forces players to make strategic choices about when to play each card to maximize its effect. I remember the time I attended a family reunion and saw how my cousin skillfully used his cards to turn the tables at the last moment, surprising everyone. The key to winning is to observe your opponents' moves, predict their intentions and adjust your strategy as necessary.
  • Action Cards - All the cards in this game are action cards, which eliminates the luck of the number cards. Each card in the deck forces an action, be it skipping a player, reversing the order of play or forcing the next player to draw more cards. This ensures a constant dynamic, where each round is an opportunity to turn the game around.
  • Skip and Reverse - These mechanics directly alter the order of the game. Playing a "Skip" card prevents the next player from making their move, while a "Reverse" card changes the direction of the game. During one match, I remember using a "Reverse" card at a crucial moment, frustrating my uncle who was about to win, much to the delight of everyone watching.
  • Forced Purchase - The mechanic of forcing the next player to draw more cards is a powerful strategic tool. It can slow down opponents who are one step away from winning, forcing them to reconsider their strategies and adapt to the new scenario of the extended hand. I remember a match in which forced buying helped me turn around a game that was practically lost, when my opponent acquired a hand that was almost impossible to manage.
  • Competitive Initiative - With each action, the players take on a strategic role to steer the course of the game. With the absence of a numerical pattern, the mechanics are advanced to a state of intense competition in each move. It makes each match unique and unpredictable.
