UNO Roboto “House Rules!” Review

How many of you grew up playing UNO?  I honestly can’t remember when I began but it has been years since I have been playing.  It’s one I don’t get tired of though.  It was a great game to introduce to our kids when they were young because it was easy enough for them to play.

We were sent the UNO Roboto House Rules game just over a week ago.  The kids were all excited to try it.
I can’t tell you how many times we played UNO Roboto that weekend.  It was too many times to count.  All 4 of us enjoyed it.  Emily had book club here on Saturday night and we decided to add in our UNO Roboto House Rules Party to the mix.  We had a total of 6 girls and they had so much fun.   They played a game that took them just over a half an hour and then played it again.

UNO Roboto is played in the same fashion as UNO but with a few extra twists.  The Roboto adds so much fun to the game.

You begin the game by recording everyone’s name.  Just hearing the Roboto say your name makes you smile!  During the game he may tell you to record a nick name for one of the players.  We had everything from Bieber Lover to Oompah Loompah as nick names.  He also will have you set up a house rule.  Here are the girls doing the house rule of “Spin around 3 times and sit down.”  The last one to finish has to draw 2 cards.

The UNO Roboto game bring a whole new dimension to the game.  He is small enough to take to friends houses or even on vacation.  I know this game has gone to the top of our game list.  We are planning on introducing the grandparents to it on Thanksgiving!

You can find UNO Roboto at your favorite retailer right now for a suggested retail of $29.99.  (Although I saw it on sale just this weekend so be on the look out for those holiday specials on games.)  For all the new and latest game information you can now “like” UNO on Facebook!  Also, don’t miss out on this great promotion of a free 7 x 9 Shutterfly Photo Book with the purchase of qualified Mattel games at Toys R Us!  Click HERE for all the details!

Disclosure:  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.

    Uno is one of those games loved by all. This looks awesome. Thanks for sharing the video, how cute. I also grew up playing games with the family and Uno was one of them. Good memories!

    Glad I read your review. I love Uno but was worried this would just be an “expensive” version that isn’t all that great. I really like the features that it has and the robot is so cute! Your pictures and video are great, definitely adding this to the list of games that will make great gifts.
