Hannah Montana Uno

If you're familiar with the classic family card game Uno, you already know how to play Hannah Montana Uno. There is one new card that introduces two new rules, but the basic gameplay is the same. The goal is to be the first to get rid of all your cards. Of course, the cards are completely redesigned and feature characters from the Disney Channel television series Hannah Montana.

Like original Uno, Hannah Montana Uno is a lightweight family card game that many people will enjoy. There are a few decisions to be made, but not so many that you have to think very much.

Pros

Cons

In the decades since it was first published, Uno has become a staple of family gaming. Dozens and dozens of themed editions have been released, including Hannah Montana Uno.

Characters from the popular Disney Channel television series are pictured on the cards of this edition, including Hannah Montana (aka Miley Stewart), Lilly Truscott, Oliver Oken, Jackson Stewart, and Hannah's father Robbie Stewart. The basic gameplay remains the same as in original Uno, although there is a new card that introduces two new rules.

Players begin the game with seven cards; the goal is to be the first player to get rid of all her cards. On a player's turn, she must either play a card onto the discard pile or take a card from the draw pile (which can be played immediately, if it is legal to do so). A card may only be played if it matches the top card on the discard pile in color (there are four colors), number (there are 10 numbers), or symbol (the action cards have symbols).

Action cards include "Draw Two" (the next player draws two cards and misses a turn), "Reverse" (play changes from clockwise to counter-clockwise, or vice versa), "Skip" (the next player misses a turn), "Wild" (can be played as any color), and "Wild Draw Four" (can be played as any color, plus the next player draws four cards).

The new card in Hannah Montana Uno is "Best of Both Worlds." By playing this card, a player chooses whether to use it as "Miley's 'Ya Think?' Rule" or "Hannah's Gotta Secret Rule." The former causes every other player to draw one card, while the latter can block a "Wild Draw Four" card.

When playing the next-to-last card in her hand, a player must remember to say "Uno." If caught failing to do so, she draws two cards. The winner is the first player to discard her final card.
