Uno Undercover
... isn't the name just so... intriguing? What you'll find in addition to the detective clues in the game is a bunch of Uno card game rounds with a bit of a storyline.
You play the game as Felicia Blue, a would-be world Uno champ turned part-time detective. Escort her to a trip to the beach, where you'll hunt for clues, dress up, and play lots of Uno, of course.
You'll need to satisfy the storyline by purchasing a required clothing piece before you can move on and play a game of Uno.
The first Uno session finds you at the beach, playing with some strangers and your kids. The current card color will warp to the background of the next player, and arrows distinguish the rotation of game play (before any Reverse cards, that is). You can't visually see how many cards the AIs are holding, but a number in the lower left of their icon will tell you. Get it FREE now!
Games take a while, but when a computer player does get Uno but doesn't call it, be sure to Challenge him or her to set them back a few cards.
You'll move on to play Uno alongside varied characters in different locations, earning mission points and bragging rights (Trophies) along the way. Sometimes you'll have a conversation with the characters while playing a game of Uno. Get it FREE now!
Each game you win nets you a small burst of fireworks and your score (a compilation of what was in the other players' hands). If you lose, the same deal happens: fireworks and the winner's score is shown. You must keep repeating the particular Uno rep until you win to move on in the story!
If you want a version of Uno that's a little more fancy, then this is your niche. It's got good, anime-esque graphics and entire card and character descriptions in Help.
I don't like how the game cards "float" in Uno Undercover. They're hard to pick up, and then you've got to click a little icon at the top instead of the anywhere on the card to submit it. I guess that's so you don't accidentally play a card you wanted to save.
Uno Undercover is best geared towards child Uno lovers. It's a cute concept all-around, but kind of lacking when it comes to actual game play.
You can play Uno online when you sign up, which for many people is reason enough to get the full game FREE from GameHouse!
