UNO: Pokemon Asia is a board game released in 2019 for 2–10 players and ages 7 and up. Its main mechanics are Hand Management, Take That, and Race.
"Join Pikachu and all his friends when you play this Pokemon edition of UNO! Master the game with the special 'Snorlax Traffic' and 'Battle Bond' rules! And when you're down to your last card, don't yell 'pika pika', yell UNO!" UNO variation where all of the cards have a pokemon, including some of the original 150 and newer pokemon from Sword & Shield. The deck is the same as normal UNO, but with 4 extra wild cards: - Wild Snorlax Traffic Cards: you choose a colour, the next player draws 3 cards and then discard all cards of your chosen colour from their hand (their turn ends). - Wild Battle Bond Card: you choose a colour and the next player draws a card. If their drawn card does not match the chosen colour, they have to draw another card. You can then choose the colour that continues play. You can choose to play a normal game of UNO without these extra cards, or keep them in for something a bit different.
UNO: Pokemon Asia 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 catalogue lists UNO: Pokemon Asia 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: Pokemon Asia belongs to these categories: Card Game, Fantasy, and Children's Game. Its main mechanics are Hand Management, Take That, and Race. 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: Pokemon Asia 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.
