Killer Uno


What you see here is a normal deck of Uno cards. Well, this specific deck is in fact a deck of Uno Attack cards, but that is besides the point. Uno is a classic game and is very simple, so why am I posting it when talking about an assignment about creativity? Well, the answer to that is that we didn't just play Uno with this deck, what me and a few friends played was a game we call Killer Uno. In Killer Uno, you start like you are playing normal Uno, but there are two added rules. When you place a 2, everyone must be silent. The silence can't be broken until another two is placed down. If you break this rule, you draw two cards. The second rule is that when a three is placed down you need to hit your own forehead then hit the draw pile. Last person to hit the draw pile draws two cards. Now after going through a round of that, here is where the creativity comes in. The winner of the round gets to pick a new rule. And this rule can be anything. Once you have played several rounds, you have a whole new set of rules and depending on the creativity of the winners, the game can get super intense and in some cases due to competitiveness, super dangerous. Hence the name Killer Uno. Very rarely when I have played have we gone away without someone get some sort of minor injury liked pushed to the ground or getting an incidental elbow to the face or something else. But don't let that scare you away, this is the funnest and most creative way that I have ever played Uno. I highly recommend that every one of you that reads this post give it a chance.
