UNO: Mario Kart (2020)

About this game

UNO Mario Kart plays like classic UNO except every card has a symbol in the bottom corner that represents iconic Mario Kart items (Mushroom, Banana Peel, Green Shell, Lightning, or Bob-omb). The items don’t do anything during normal play, but if you play a Wild Item Box Card you get to flip the top card of the deck into the discard pile and immediately use the item shown on that card. Each item has a different action: Mushroom: Take another turn. Banana Peel: The player who went before you has to draw two cards. Green Shell: Any player of your choice must draw one card. Lightning: All other players must draw one card, then you take another turn. Bob-omb: You must draw two cards, then you can choose the color that continues play.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 10.
• Rules load. At 1.0/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 7 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
