Mattel Games UNO Show Age 7+ ?em No Mercy Card Game for Kids, Adults & Family Parties and Travel With Extra Cards, Special Rules and Tougher Penalties., HWV18

This game is awesome, especially if you are the type of family that gets passionate over regular uno. Be warned it may lead to family fudes. LolGreat value and quality. Card quality and size as good as you would expect from uno. Lots of variation on the rules from normal uno. We found a YouTube video that explained the rules, rulels were included and easy to understand. We are a competitive family so it was essential to be clear on the rules before starting. The game can take longer than regular uno. Not sure its educational as my kids are 10+ but it certainly brought the whole family together. Fun was had by all, except the losers. 😂

I never actually had my own UNO set growing up, but it was always a classic during friend hangouts. I bought UNO No Mercy to play with family — and wow, it lives up to the name!First round was just me and my mum, and yes… it quickly became very merciless. The amount of + cards can leave you sitting with a hand full of cards in no time. When we played with my grandparents, we dialed it back a bit and kept just the +2 and +6 cards to give it more of a classic UNO feel — but still with a bit of an edge. That setup worked perfectly for them. (Though, to be fair, my grandad loved the new + cards and took far too much joy in dishing them out!)What’s great is that you can start with a more traditional setup and slowly add in the newer cards to make the game more chaotic and strategic as everyone gets more confident. The emotional rollercoaster is very real — especially when you’re down to one card, forget to say “UNO,” or get slammed with a +4 just before winning!One tip: make sure the deck is really well shuffled. With all the new action cards, a good mix makes the game run much more smoothly and unpredictably.This Uno set offers a classic design with a modern twist, featuring an inverted colour scheme that adds a fresh feel while still maintaining the familiar look. The cards themselves are visually clear, with easy-to-understand pictures that clearly depict what each action means, making gameplay intuitive for all players. The size is nearly identical to a standard poker set, so the 7 dealt cards fit comfortably in your hand (or two hands if you're feeling unlucky!). It's also compact and easy to store, taking up minimal space when not in use. The included instructions are straightforward, with helpful images that correspond to the cards, making the rules simple to follow.A super fun twist on a classic — ideal for families, friends, and competitive grandparents alike!

Uno No Mercy stands out as an exceptional edition in the Uno series, and it has quickly become one of our favourites. As avid fans of Uno, we purchase every major version of the game, though we generally avoid themed versions that are simply the standard game with different illustrations. Uno No Mercy, however, offers a fresh and engaging twist that sets it apart.Pros:• Innovative Gameplay: Uno No Mercy introduces exciting and significant twists that elevate the game beyond traditional Uno. The stakes are higher, and the consequences of each move can be quite impactful, adding a layer of strategic depth that keeps the game thrilling.• Tactical Complexity: Unlike some other versions, such as Uno All Wild, which can feel a bit aimless, Uno No Mercy requires genuine tactical skill. The special rules involving the swap hands mechanics with 7 and 0 cards introduce opportunities for strategic plays and potential setbacks, making every round engaging and unpredictable.• Family Enjoyment: This version has been a hit with our family, spanning a wide range of ages—10, 16, and 42. It provides fun for everyone, fostering friendly competition and laughter during game nights.Cons:• Complexity for Younger Players: The added rules and strategic elements might be a bit challenging for younger players or those new to the Uno series. While this complexity adds to the fun for older players, it might require some explanation and adjustment for younger or less experienced participants.Comparison:• Uno Flip: The only other version that rivals Uno No Mercy in our opinion is Uno Flip. Both games offer unique and exciting variations on the classic Uno formula, but No Mercy’s impactful twists and tactical depth make it a standout choice in its own right.Overall, Uno No Mercy is an excellent addition to the Uno lineup, providing a fresh and exciting twist that appeals to both seasoned players and newcomers alike. Its blend of strategic depth, significant consequences, and family-friendly fun makes it a game we thoroughly enjoy and highly recommend.

UNO is a family favourite and so I was pleased to receive this as a birthday gift.The game adds some extra value to the original classic with additional draw cards (up to a whopping 10 cards), special cards (such as full 360 reversal) and a tweak on some of the traditional rules (such as 'stacking' draw cards so that some unlucky sod ends up with so many cards that you need hands the size of King Kong!) One twist is that players can be out of the game when 25 cards in your hand are reached.All of the above makes for a fun game. On balance, I think the original is my preference - the cards seem of better quality and the gameplay keeps everyone involved for longer. However, if you already have the classic game then this should be a welcome addition.

Very funny game

Why did you choose this product over others?:Great game and quick delivery service.

Great fun had a blast

Get a load of the state of the cards in supposed brand new condition. The printing looks so worn. The game itself is pretty enjoyable though. The stacking rules actually allow you to defend yourself unlike traditional Uno.
