Advantages: Children love the button pressing more than the game

Disadvantages: Too random

Uno Extreme adds a new dimension to the original game of Uno, which I enjoy very much. I recently purchased Uno Extreme for a childrens camp that I work on as I had seen them very much enjoying playing it in the past. Having tried it out I have to say I much prefer the original game. Extreme is a bit of fun but for anyone who wants to actually play the game it becomes a bit ridiculous.

Instead of drawing extra cards you hit the button on the card holder which can spew out between zero and lots of cards. This can be fun and frustrating, especially for children but means there is much less skill in the game as the best play will not mean a win, it is all down to how many cards you get.

We must be far too competitive as the game is obviously designed as a fun party or childrens game, rather than for someone who actually wants a vagulely skillful game of cards. However, for me the original Uno had both; it was fun but also contained a small skill level.

There are also additonal cards which make the game even more random, such as swapping your hand with another player.

The design of the card holder also seems somewhat poor, cards seem to regualarly get stuck in it, and it can also bend the cards.

So great for children and those who want a very light,f un game, but I will be sticking with the original game.

Summary: Good for fun, but not as a game

Very nicely done, concise review with good personal experience and opinion. One suggestion - you might want to run this through a spelling checker to get rid of those typos.
