It has a ton more cards with WAY tougher penalties (draw 10 cards anyone?) and new rules that will have players stacking, swapping and drawing more cards than ever before! And there's even a Mercy Rule (yes, we get the irony) if things get too rough. There are two ways to win in this merciless version of the classic game: get rid of all cards OR knock all other players out of the game! Oh and if you manage to get down to one card, don't forget to yell 'UNO!' Enjoy the most brutal edition of UNO ever! Tougher action cards, such as Skip Everyone, Wild Draw 6 & Wild Draw 10 make game play merciless. Players can pass the penalty until whoever can't play has to take all the cards combined. Whenever a '7' or a '0' card is played, players must swap hands with another player. If any player gets 25+ cards in their hand, they are out of the game. For 2-6 players.
This guide is for players looking to amp up their UNO nights with a more challenging and ruthless version of the classic card game. UNO Show 'em No Mercy offers tougher action cards, harsher penalties, and new rules designed to eliminate opponents quickly. However, be warned: this edition is not for the faint of heart, and games can get very competitive. Key features include a wider variety of action cards, the ability to eliminate players, and a mercy rule to help keep the peace (sometimes).
