Quick verdict
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.
The game and gameplay
Uno Undercover the PC card game has a loading screen that’s a little slow. After taking a look-see at the heroine’s family photo, the two main options are Adventure Game and Quickplay.
Quickplay is just straight Uno with some interesting characters, while Adventure mode makes the game unique.
The game starts by showing a tutorial of how to play Uno, under the cover that the kids need something to entertain themselves in the car on the road trip to California. You can skip over this if you already know how to play Uno.
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.
Each level begins with a series of dialog, hinting at what’s in store for Felicia’s next mission. A magnifying glass will then point you in the direction of your next “clue”. 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. Everyone has cute voices, and the sound effects are appropriate, too.
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.
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.
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!

Pros and cons
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 (although they scroll veery sllooowly).
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, even though with a game like Uno, it’s pretty much luck if you succeed, anyway?
The verdict
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.
