Mattel Games UNO Retro Editon

If you loved Uno as a kid you're going to love this set. It took me back to my younger years. A game I can relate to not like the Uno cards that they sell in stores today

My grandsons came for a week and found our old UNO game in a closet so we played. It was a blast but I realized the old cards were in need of replacing so I bought a new set of the original style. Much better than the new version.

Just like the good old days!

I like uno, i like the clean look of the classic cards, good product

This the second time I’ve purchased this card game. The first time was in 2000 so it is safe to say the quality has changed. It is still fun to play. Time has not changed the giggles and screams of drawing Draw 4’s or Skips! Even though the cards are smaller it is still Big Time Fun!!

The new uno deck has weird cards and doesn’t have the draw 4. This is the retro version I used to play when I was a kid. Way better than the new revised one. If you loved the uno game from the 80s/90s, this is the one you want!

Smaller than the original cards and their look is very stylish compared to the basic edition.

Another reviewer said that they're smaller than the originals, but they're not. I've attached two photos, one of each side (sorry for the quality, but I took them with a Fire tablet, not a real camera). This product's "retro" design is on the left, and an original 80s card is shown on the right. They're not *exactly* the same, as you can see. Although they are the same size, the design has been altered a bit. I'm happy to report that the "worded" cards -- Reverse, Draw Two, etc. -- remain essentially the same, again altered only slightly as these are.The most common objection to the "modern" design that I keep hearing is that these wordless cards feature odd symbols that are supposed to *represent* what you're to do (draw two, reverse, skip, etc.), but they're hardly intuitive. It takes just a second to process that, but it's that slight hesitation that ruins the fun. I happen to hate the new design as well, but this deck is the antidote. They're just a bit pricey, is all. Nevertheless, I do recommend them.Mine arrived in new condition, and a day ahead of promise, so no issues there either!On the off-chance that I won't be able to find these things again (and knowing that the cases never last), I wrapped some clear shipping tape around the top half of the case so it won't tear when cards are removed/replaced. Office tape ("Scotch" type) isn't strong enough. Another reviewer mentioned this issue, so I thought it best to do this as a precaution. After all, the case for my 80s deck is long gone, the whole thing plus instruction sheet held together with a rubber band.Speaking of which -- The instruction sheet is reproduced essentially verbatim from the original. However, the original was two-color (red and black) on both sides, and included ordering information for specialty products, like the Uno t-shirt (just $5.50!) and hat, etc. The one included here is simple black-and-white, and harder to read, partly because the font is much, much smaller. Everything is squeezed onto one side, because the reverse has instructions in four other languages.
