About the game

What you do in a play session

Think you've mastered the classic UNO? Get ready for a twist! UNO Power Grab takes the familiar formula we all know and adds an extra kick to make the game even more thrilling. The main goal remains the same: be the first to empty your hand by matching the color or number of the top card on the discard pile. And don't forget to yell "UNO" when you're down to your last card, or you might face a penalty!

But here's where things heat up with the Power Towers. These nifty little pieces can be used to block opponents' action cards or even to sabotage their plans. And if you're clever enough to collect all four Power Towers, it's an instant win! It's the UNO you love, but with an extra dose of strategy and twists that will keep you glued to your seat. Perfect for those who want a quick, fun game with that touch of friendly competition that only UNO can deliver. Get ready to challenge your friends and family in this new version that promises plenty of laughs and, perhaps, a few strategic maneuvers!
