Interactive Game with a Simple Objective

UNO Roboto comes with 108 game cards and an interactive robot figure that serves as the dealer. The objective is simple: try to get rid of your cards as quickly as possible to win the game.

Each player is dealt seven cards from the deck varying in color, number, and symbol. UNO Roboto will call out the name of a player to go first. Players must try to match a card from their existing pile with the card on top of the discard pile. If they don't have a match, they have to take an additional card from the draw pile. Players whittle down their cards, and the first player with only one card left must shout "UNO" to win the game.

Customizable Game Play Adds a Twist

If you've ever played UNO, or even if you haven't, playing UNO Roboto is simple. Prior to beginning the game, players record their name into the robot's microphone for personalized play. Players can also record special house rules, such as "Recite the pledge of allegiance," or "Do the chicken dance" for the robot to call out randomly during the game. Make up your own house rule or choose one from the house rule cards.

Unlike classic UNO, the robot will speak surprise commands at random, challenging players by name to perform certain tasks. The robot may tell you to trade your cards with another player, or instruct everyone to raise an arm, with the last person to do it forced to draw two cards.

Fun, Ready-to-Play Game

This interactive card game comes with everything you will need to play. Three AA batteries come ready to power the robot, and no other setup is required. Your group of two to six players can get right down to the fun--draw, discard, and race against each other to rid yourself of cards and complete the robot's commands.

Playing UNO Roboto is fun. While the concept of an interactive robot may initially seem unnecessary for such an easy to play game, its presence adds unpredictable excitement. Players will appreciate the customizable nature and crazy challenges offered. The robot is small enough to carry for on-the-go play too.

Apples to Apples Party Box - The Game of Hilarious Comparisons (Family Edition)

Apples to Apples Party Box - The Game of Hilarious Comparisons (Family Edition) Review

Apples to Apples Party Box - The Game of Hilarious Comparisons (Family Edition) Feature

• Apples to Apples are the game of hilarious comparisons
• It's as easy as comparing apples to apples... just open the box, deal the cards, and you're ready to play
• Select the card from your hand that you think is best described by a card played by the judge
• Includes over 1,000 cards
• Each round is filled with surprising and outrageous comparisons from a wide range of people, places, things and events

Apples to Apples is an award-winning party game that will have everyone laughing. We had a blast playing this game and think it is a perfect game for a "board game night" with friends and family. It is quick to set up, easy to learn, challenging, and a whole lot of fun.

The party box includes over a thousand cards for many card combinations. View larger.

Unexpected and funny comparisons make the game fun to come back to again and again. View larger.

What We Think Fun Factor: Durability: (what this means) The Good: Quick set up; inspires quick thinking and creativity; fun for whole family The Bad: Not as fun without at least five players; subject matter targeted for mid-teens and older In a Nutshell: Quick-paced board game requires just a minute to set up and will have everyone laughing for hours At a Glance Ages: 12 and up Requires: At least four players

Smart, Award-Winning Fun
Apples to Apples has won numerous awards including "Party Game of the Year" by Games magazine and "Mensa Select" by Mensa International. And for good reason: it involves quick thinking, humor, and strategy. For teens, the game teaches them to think about how different things can be compared to one another and how analogies are formed. One of our criticisms is that although the game states that it is designed for ages 12 and older, many of the subjects are clearly for older teens.

Hilarious Comparisons and Analogies
The name of the game is a play on the phrase "apples to oranges," and the game is about making comparisons between different things. General game play is as follows: players are dealt red cards which have a noun printed on them, and the judge (a different player in each turn) draws a green card on which an adjective is printed and places it for all players to see. Each player then chooses a red card they are holding that they think best describes the green card. The judge then decides which adjective she likes best.

The fun is in the variety of unexpected comparisons people make, sometimes apt, funny, creative, or simply absurd. For example: people might match "Awkward" with "Oil Spills," "My First Kiss," "Dandruff," and "Gold Chains. " Or: "Painful" with "High School Reunions" and "Regis Philben. " Strategy comes into play since, because each player takes turns being the judge, you begin to pick up on the preferences of each player and tailor your choices accordingly.

Players can also try variations on the basic game play. For example, instead of choosing the most apt comparison, players might try choosing the red card that is least like the green one. These variations keep the game fresh and interesting every time.

Conversation Kick Starter
Part of the fun is in standing up for your choices. For instance, you might discuss why you think "Regis Philben" is painful, or segue into a discussion of the embarrassing situations you got into on your first day of school, or your first kiss. Apples to Apples excels as an ice breaker and promotes a good amount of social interaction, as many conversations will be kick started thanks to these little cards.

More Players, More Fun
Although the box states that the game is playable with just four players, we found that the game is a lot more fun when there are at least five or six players. This increases both the frequency of funny answers and also requires players to refine their strategy a little more. Once we got going, hours passed, and it was only the lateness of the hour that reminded some of us that we had to go home.

This Party Box set comes with more than 1,000 cards total, and will entertain for a long time. Additional expansion sets are available to further increase the variety of word combinations.

What's in the Box
756 Red Apple Cards, 252 Green Apple Cards, card tray, quick play rules.
Apples to Apples is the wild, award-winning card game that provides instant fun for 4 to 10 players. Open the box, deal the cards, and you're ready to play! Select the card from your hand that you think is best described by a card played by the judge. If the judge picks your card, you win that round. Everyone gets a chance to be the judge.
