Who wouldn’t want to play Uno with an Assassin’s Creed flavor? Otherwise, extra house rules can also spice up the game, with the ability to play matching cards out of turn and swapping hands with other players being easy favorites. The exclusive events are genuinely entertaining additions, though more themed decks and the ability to mix and match special cards could have increased replay value. Or a Rabbid may pop up to annoyingly enforce a hard three-second turn limit, raising the tension and potentially causing misplays. For example, one card summons dancers who prevent non-numerical cards from being played. Each deck comes with four exclusive cards that dynamically change the game. Thankfully, Ubisoft also included three themed decks based on its in-house franchises such as Rayman, Just Dance, and, you guessed it, the Rabbids.

It’s the core game to a tee, but the experience admittedly gets boring after a while. And when you’re down to your last card, you had better shout “UNO,” represented here by pressing a button, or other players may call you out. Additionally, you can throw your opponents off by activating cards with special abilities, such as reversing the turn order, increasing their hand size, or downright skipping their turn. For example, if a red “0” card is in the middle, you could play another red card or a “0” of any color. Achieve this by playing cards that match the color or number of the one in the middle.

The tabletop game’s simple rules are faithfully adapted here: whittle your hand of cards down to nothing. As a card game, it synergizes well with the Switch’s portable capabilities, but limited outlets for multiplayer and social interaction hold it back. In what appears to be a trend of adapting tabletop games to the Nintendo Switch, Ubisoft has brought the well-known Uno to the platform.
