Uno
When Uno came around, a lot of people went out to the stores in order to buy a colorful desk of a card game with a foreign but popular name. The name alone conjures simplicity in the most desirable form–fun enjoyment. People can sit around and keep playing until one person has but one card left. Then they announce ‘Uno’, and the game is over. As boring as this may sound, Uno is not a card game that can lose many people’s interests. Some people may say that it doesn’t have the longevity as the more classic card games, and while that may be true, Uno has enough originality to last people many years. Unlike Poker, different games with relatively the same concpept haven’t branched off it, but there are different themes to Uno that I know will keep myself going to the store just to pick up another, and then another, deck of colorful cards. Uno isn’t very old, but I believe that in time, it will get more of the recognition it deserves. Although it is still popular, some people can say that Uno has taken up all 15 minutes of granted time in the spotlight, and now it’s time for this game to move over, and another one to take its place. I don’t believe that’s true. Just go to a store and pick up a newer version of Uno–you’ll fall in love all over again.
