Our Thoughts
I recall so many memories of playing Uno with my family and friends growing up and through the years Mattel has put different “spins” on the game. The original Uno will be a game that generations will continue to play. Uno Roboto is a quick witted robot who adds punch to your Uno game. Play begins with each player recording their name into Uno Roboto and then Roboto will pick who starts (this is ingenious if you are playing with younger kids who constantly argue as to who gets start).
We had good friends from out of state visit us after receiving our Uno Roboto, so this was the perfect time to have a “game night”. We all recorded our names and tried to figure out our house rule; because of course everyone had their input. We finally settled on running around the table which led to lots of laughs as the night continued. I think the funniest part of playing Uno Roboto is when you are asked to create a nickname for another player and that become their name for the rest of the game. We had a blast coming up with funny names for one another just waiting for Uno Roboto to call on “stinky britches” or “smarty pants”. It was hard to believe that we are a bunch of 30 something year olds playing together.
The next day we played with our 4 year old son. While he is a little younger than the age recommendations, he was able to grasp the concept of the game well. I also believe that allowing him to play helps him continue to learn colors, numbers as well as how to play games whether you win or lose. He truly enjoyed recording his name in Uno Roboto and listening to what may be said next. He enjoyed being the one to pick our house rule, which was to complete 10 jumping jacks since he is so excited to do them.
All in all, playing with Uno Roboto whether with friends or family was filled with fun and laughter and new way to look at the Uno game. However, I will state that there were a issues with the game itself…1) At times it is difficult to hear Uno Roboto when playing (even with the volume turned up) this is because some of things being said are more difficult to understand and some are just hard to hear. 2) I did not prefer the new look of the Uno Roboto cards (they no longer state reverse, skip, draw 2, etc.). I just felt like this was something that did not need to be changed. Uno Roboto would make an excellent addition to a game collection and would add plenty of laughter and fun to a family who enjoys game night.

I wrote this review while participating in a campaign by Mom Central Consulting on behalf of UNO Roboto and received a product sample to facilitate my review and a promotional item to thank me for taking the time to participate.
I was delighted that not only was it just as much fun as a traditional UNO game, but it was much more fun! We had the opportunity to invite some friends over for a special UNO Roboto party (with pizza, drinks, and special cupcakes), as well as to later take it along with us when we went to visit family for Thanksgiving. Every time we introduced it to someone new, it was a hit. (After our UNO Roboto party, our friends even asked their Mom if they might be able to get an UNO Roboto game for Christmas.)
Yum! Don't you just love our special numbered cupcakes?
The game is easy to use, and UNO Roboto helps to lead you through some of the start-up directions. To begin, each player (there can be between 2 – 6 players) is asked to record their names. While people have typically been recording their real names, every so often, someone decided to record something funny, like “Jack the Great” and “Grace the Champion.”
Our only “complaint,” which is really hardly even a complaint, is that it doesn’t really sound like the person’s voice that has recorded it. It sounds much lighter and younger. (This added to some of the hilarity, but I don’t think that was intentional.) Plus, it did cause a slight problem at our party that the game could only accomodate six players, as we had eight people.
After all players record their names, then one player is asked to record a House Rule (they ask a specific player to do that). Our house rules have been everything from “Make a Fish Face” to “Rub Your Tummy and Pat Your Head,” and more. During different points in the game, it will then randomly tell you to do the House Rule (and plays the original recording of it back to everyone). There is also an option to skip having a House Rule, if you prefer.
Uno Roboto Style
The house rule was to stick out their tongues
Game play begins after the House Rule is made, and then is played just like traditional UNO. Well, except for the fact that every so often, UNO Roboto will break into play with some decree, such as saying the name of a certain player and telling them to discard all of their yellow cards or swap cards with a specific other player. There are so many different options that I still don’t think we’ve heard them all.
The kids especially enjoy when it’s time for a duel. UNO Roboto names two players, tells them it’s time for a duel, and then announces what they both must do, such as touch their toes. It then tells whomever was last to do it to draw two cards.
We really enjoyed UNO Roboto, and I’m so excited that we were able to add it to our collection of games. Not only did the kids have a blast at our UNO Roboto party with friends, but we even had some times at Thanksgiving when only adults were playing together.
I would definitely recommend this game as a great addition to the Christmas gifts that you give this year. I know it is a game that we’ll play over and over again!
