Only one +4, impossible to accumulate “+” cards… The rules of the famous card game will change in a new version called “Show’em No Mercy” (Don’t show them any mercy in French).
“Things are about to get ruthless.” The Mattel brand, which markets the famous Uno card game, published a short video on social networks on Wednesday in which we see several people, presumably employees of the company, in a meeting room.
In front of them a screen displays the rules of the game: take out a single +4 or never accumulate “+” cards. Except that following this presentation, a new Uno card game called “Show’em No Mercy” is revealed.
We can then see a blue “+2” placed there, then on top of it a green “+4”, a multi-colored “+6” and even a “+10”. These last two cards do not exist in the base set. The video then ends with the following message “I said too much”. Interrupted, but successful communication from Mattel which has since formalized the launch of this new card game, out of stock in several American stores.
Possible to accumulate +2, +4, +6 and +10
“Uno Show’em No Mercy is our most brutal UNO game yet!” reads the product page on Wallmart’s US site.
Players will be able to stack, exchange and draw more cards than in any version of the game. In “Show’em No Mercy”, which offers 56 additional cards, it is possible here to accumulate +2, +4, +6 or +10 – which is not allowed in the basic version – until the one who cannot play is forced to draw all the cards combined.
Not yet announced in France
Another new feature: if someone draws a “0” or a “7”, they must exchange their hand with that of another player. Also, if a player has more than 25 cards, he is considered eliminated. The game therefore offers two ways to win: get rid of all your cards – remembering to shout “Uno” when you only have one left – or eliminate all the other players in the game.
Please note, however, that no announcement has yet been made on its possible marketing in France. This will help you avoid new sources of arguments between friends for the moment.
