The Story

UNO Junior strips the game down for very young children: a smaller deck, larger and simpler illustrations (often licensed characters in specific printings), and a reduced or removed set of action cards so preschool-aged players can grasp color and number matching without the more demanding rules of the full game. It has been reissued many times over the decades under various licensed themes.

Rule Twists vs. Classic UNO

Everything below is an official printed rule unless flagged otherwise.

Simplified for Young Players

The deck and rule set are reduced from the full game so that very young children can play — larger cards, simpler matching, and typically fewer or no Wild Draw Four-style cards.
