UNO: Blast - Card Game

Its Uno whats not to love? Ok its a little loud when it ejects the cards but we got used to that pretty quickly. We love Uno in this house and have almost a dozen different forms of the game. When i saw this at the store i knew i had to have it but at almost $35 it was going to have to wait. Then one day i spied it on Amazon for a little over $16 and knew we had to have it. We have added it to our family game day rotation. :)

We bought this game because we love UNO and we thought this would be a fun twist on the game. But the game mechanics actually suck all the fun and playability out of the game. For one thing, the games are really short. We played with three people and our average hand lasted only about 2 minutes. Not kidding. There are too many ways to discard with the addition of the "Discard Color" cards, and the fact that when you draw from the pile, instead of keeping the cards you draw in your hand, you put them into the blaster. Plus the blaster only holds up to five cards, which means the blaster will never spit more than five cards at you at one time. With original UNO, often drawing meant you had to take 10+ cards or more, which made the game last longer. This made the game really unsatisfying. Honestly we probably won't play this game again. I say save your money and just buy regular UNO cards.

Working with groups of children teaching them social skill I found this game to be very exciting and kept their attention. I wish the packaging was different as it is hard to get it all back in the box sometimes. However, it is a great game for the children I worked with ages 7-17 plus the few young adults I have worked with. It is fast moving.

it works but is somewhat startling for young children who are sound sensitiveAlso older children begin to solve the pattern of the blastIt is fun and adds another dimension to the game of Uno

The game was broken. It would "blast" non stop. I was not able to use it with the young clients with whom I work. I did not understand that it was broke and thus I threw away the packaging material.I was disappointed because I knew the children were looking forward to playing a new version of UNO.

My family and I love playing uno, now this takes it to another level. Uno is a great game for teaching kids about numbers, colors, and matching but for younger kids it's hard to keep them engaged through a whole game. With this new version, the element of surprise is added. Kids love it when the cards "explode" and are willing to play longer. Great update.

I purchased this to add to my families impressive collection of Uno game versions. We enjoyed it. I like that they've changed up the different cards a little bit. For instance, there's no trade your whole hand with someone else card in this version. Uno attack is still my favorite but this one was fun too.

UNO is a fun game. My family has played UNO tons of times. UNO = fun. UNO Blast = UNO - fun.I unwrapped said toy from the box. My wife said, "I like UNO, let's play". So we loaded the blaster up with the required 3 AA batteries and proceeded to play. Until the BLAST went off. At which my wife said to me, "it's evil, kill it!". I reached for the blaster and realized that the creators of UNO Blast did not include a volume switch. This would have been handy as the only blasting that I did was the soiling of my pants every time the ear-splitting shriek went off.On a positive note, the game included UNO. We'll be keeping the cards handy. Not so for the blaster.
