UNO: Pokémon is a board game released in 2006 for 2–10 players, 30 minutes per game, and ages 7 and up. Its main mechanics are Hand Management.
Variation of UNO celebrating the 10th Anniversary of Pokémon. Cards feature various Pokémon, some themed to the cards they're featured on (Wobbuffet is on the "Reverse" card, Slaking is on the "Skip" card, Plusle and Minun are pictured on the "Draw 2" card). WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT FROM TRADITIONAL UNO: Comes with a special "Trainer" card that allows the player to exchange all of their cards with one of their opponent's cards.
UNO: Pokémon 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: Pokémon 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: Pokémon 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: Pokémon has a complexity rating of 1.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
UNO: Pokémon belongs to these categories: Card Game, Fantasy, and Children's Game. Its main mechanics are Hand Management. Categories describe the theme and setting of a game, while mechanics describe what players actually do on their turns. Each mechanic links to a catalogue hub with similar games, which helps when you want something comparable.
The catalogue lists UNO: Pokémon as a base game. It can be played on its own with the components in the box and does not require any other title. Expansions, if any exist, add new content or rules on top of it and are listed separately in the catalogue with a link back to this base game.
