I also remember the 90's advert for UNO that even had it's own song- 'Everybody UNO, everybody play.'   I managed to find an old 80's advert for UNO and I thought it was hilarious! Here's the link- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UU0xQtgheh8 So, here's a step by step guide to 'How To Play UNO' : 1) Have the deck of UNO cards in front of you. Make sure you have up to 2-10 players sat in a circle, ready to start. 2) Deal out seven cards for each player and the remainder of the cards go in the middle of the circle (the players must NOT look at other people's cards!) 3) Turn over the top card of the draw pile and place it next to the draw pile to start the gam...
