"Uno" is an Xbox Live Arcade game based on the "Uno" card game. It was developed by Carbonated Games and released on May 9, 2006. The game is also included (as a download code) in the 12-month Xbox Live Vision Xbox 360 package. A sequel, "Uno Rush" was announced at E3 2008.

Gameplay

The title is essentially a computerized version of the classic 4-player "Uno" card game. The game offers three different game modes including Standard "Uno", Partner "Uno", and House Rules "Uno". In Partner "Uno", players sitting across from each other join forces to form a team, so that a win by either player is a win for the team. In House Rules "Uno", the rules can be tweaked and customized to the player's preference.

While only a single player can play at any point in time on a given console, "Uno" offers multiplayer for up to four players through Xbox Live. Players can join or drop-out of in-progress games at any time, with computer players automatically taking over for any missing humans.

Lastly, the title supports the Xbox Live Vision camera, allowing opponents to view an image of the player (or whatever the camera is pointed at) while playing the game.

Theme Decks

"Uno" supports downloadable content through the Xbox Live Marketplace. This content takes the form of custom theme decks, which feature new visual appearances, sound effects, and game rules. Decks available for download from the Xbox Live Marketplace include:

* Project Gotham Racing Uno: In this deck, the cards feature pictures of the cars seen in the Project Gotham Racing series of video games. The rule changes include a card called the "Gotham Live" card, which is based on the replay feature in "Project Gotham Racing 3". This card allows a player to look at the hand of any of the other players as well as functioning as a normal wild card.

* Kameo: Elements of Power Uno: A custom deck with artwork from "". In addition, a special play card allows a player to swap his or her entire hand with the hand of any other player in the game.

* Uno 35th Anniversary: A special deck made to celebrate the 35th Anniversary of the first edition of "Uno" released in the United States in 1971. In this deck, there are specialty "35" cards. If a "35" card is played only a 3 or 5 of any color can be played.

Updates

The game itself was also updated twice on separate occasions:
*Support for the Xbox Live Vision camera.
*Support for the Big Button Pads.
