Uno (Spanish and Italian for one) belongs to the shedding family of card games in which players seek to dispose of the cards in their hands, as typified by crazy eights, which is played with a regular deck. Clever design makes Uno simpler and faster to play, with some basic scoring differences. Uno took off in the 1970s and has sold steadily since, with many themed variations now available. Giant card games such as this example really serve as novelties, most games are easier to play with standard-sized decks.
