Product Review
One of the my fav games since young is UNO. It’s hard not to like this game because it’s easy to play, colorful, fun and almost everyone I know knows how to play it. My most vivid memories of UNO are those late nights (or wee hours of mornings) spent at chalets with friends, with eyes barely open but would immediately spring wide open when someone shouts “UNO!”. Haha, those were the days.
When a stack of UNO cards were delivered to my house a couple of weeks back, I knew it was time to pass on the tradition to my girls. It definitely helped that the UNO cards sent to us looked like this:
SAY “HELLO!” TO MY HELLO KITTY UNO CARDS!
I announced to my kids that we were going to learn how to play a new game called UNO, and showed them the cards, which were met with screeches of ‘Yay!!!! HELLO KITTY! HELLO KITTY!!!!!!’. Then came, ‘What’s UNO?’ =P
As expected, the girls picked up the game really fast and before I knew it, we were into our 5th round and Jayne was winning almost every round!!! She even beat Papa Isaiah who announced right at the beginning that he was super good at every game. Heh. It was so unbelievable that Joey declared, “Why is she so lucky???!” and went on a sulk until she finally won one of the rounds. For me, it was just funny to watch their reactions to a game I’ve been playing since I was a kid. It was a great evening of family fun and we’ve had many of such evenings since. :)
