Uno Attack

Uno Attack (called Uno Extreme in the United Kingdom and Canada) is one of many variations on the popular Mattel card game Uno. It includes 112 (106 in the later versions) cards as well as an electronic card launcher. The main difference between Uno Attack and the original Uno is that instead of drawing cards, players press a button on the card launcher, which shoots out a random amount of cards at random times.

Electronic Card Launcher

Uno Attack (Extreme) comes with a special electronic card launcher that runs on 3 "C" batteries. The card shooter contains a receptacle where the deck of cards is placed, and a button on the front, known as the "Launcher Button". When the rules call for a player to "Hit" the card shooter, the player presses the button on the card shooter. An electronic chime sounds, and a random number of cards (usually from 1-24) shoot out. As many as 12 cards have been known to shoot out.

At times, the shooter may not shoot out any cards, as it is designed not to do so every time. Numerous tests have shown that it will shoot out cards at least once every four button presses, however other tests have shown the shooter going as many as 10 passes without shooting cards. It has been known to rarely shoot out cards more than twice in succession.

Later versions of Uno Attack ran on 3 "C" batteries and featured a slimmer, sharper-looking card shooter that was less likely to "catch" cards within it.

Differences to Original Uno

In Uno Attack, there are a number of differences to the original card game.

"Wild Draw-Four" is replaced by "Wild Attack Attack", in which the player who played that card gets to choose the color and the next player must hit the launcher button until it fires! The gameplay differences are as follows:

Cards

The cards included in the game are as follows:

Here is what each card means in detail:

Reverse - Simply reverse direction of play. Play left becomes play right, and vice versa.

Skip - The next player to play loses his/her turn and is “skipped.”

Wild Card - This card can be played on any card. The person playing the card calls any color to continue play, including the one presently being played if desired. A Wild card can be played even if the player has another playable card in his/her hand.

Hit 2 - When this card is played, the next player must hit the Launcher button twice. His/her turn is then over; play continues with the next player.

Discard All - Play this card when you want to discard all of the cards in your hand of the same color. For example, if a yellow “7” is in the Discard pile, you may discard all the yellow cards in your hand, with a yellow Discard All card placed on top. (you may also discard a Discard All card on the top of another Discard All card.)

Wild Hit-Fire - When this card is played the player calls a color, then the next player in the direction of play must press the Launcher button until the Launcher shoots out cards. The activating player adds the Launched cards to his/her hand and forfeits his/her turn, then play continues as normal with the next player.

Trade Hands - The player who play this card will exchange all cards with the other player that he/she choose.

Wild All Hit - The player who play this card chooses the color and all other players must press the Launcher button once.
