Rarely would a television be put on and the children were as involved as the adults in whatever game we would play and it does seem as we have all become used to sitting down in the evening and putting the 'telly' on which often ends conversation and stimulation.
There are variations of the game but a normal deck consists of four suits, wild cards and word cards which ha

At your turn place one of your cards face up on to the discard pile, matching the one there, either by colour, number, wording, or be a wild card. If you are unable to do this then you must take a card from the draw pile. If you can play this card then do so otherwise play goes to the next person. If at your turn you play a wild card then you may change the suit. If you place a draw four card on the discard pile you may also change suit. You must follow the instructions on word cards placed on the pile by the player proceeding you, which could be miss a turn or pick up cards.
One final and amusing point, you must say 'Uno' when you have just the one card left and if you forget and another player catches you then you must take 2 cards off the draw pile as a forfeit.
The idea of this game is to get rid of all you cards and then score points for what cards your opponents are left holding with usually a score of 500 to be named the winner with how to score information included in the pack.
A great fun way to spend an evening with family and friends.
