UNO: Hello Kitty is a board game released in 2003 for 2–10 players, 30 minutes per game, and ages 7 and up. It was designed by Merle Robbins and its main mechanics are Hand Management.
It's Uno but with Hello Kitty on the cards. WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT FROM TRADITIONAL UNO: 'Hello Kitty Love Me Not' wild card. Upon playing the 'Love Me Not' card the player names a color and discards one card in that color. Each player in turn must then also discard one card from their hand or draw from the draw pile. Those discarding must say "Love Me" and those drawing, "Love Me Not" else face the evil UNO penalty of drawing an additional card. Play then resumes as normal upon returning to the player intitiating the "love me(not)" session.
UNO: Hello Kitty supports 2–10 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for UNO: Hello Kitty is 30 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists UNO: Hello Kitty for ages 7 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
UNO: Hello Kitty has a complexity rating of 1.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game.
