About the game
UNO - SpongeBob Squarepants artwork on the cards. Has been released in three variations; SpongeBob Squarepants - Special Edition, SpongeBob Squarepants - All New Special Edition, and SpongeBob Squarepants - Lost in Time. Each set has one new card and rule: WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT FROM TRADITIONAL UNO: SpongeBob Squarepants - Special Edition Super Absorbency - the player with the fewest cards must "absorb" one card from the player to his/her right, one card from the player to his/her left, and one card from the deck, absorbing three cards in total. In case of a tie, the player playing the Super Absorbency card chooses which player draws cards. SpongeBob Squarepants - All New Special Edition Secret Recipe - Allows the player to look at another players hand. The player can also select a new color just like a wild card. SpongeBob Squarepants - Lost in Time Daredevil - Can be played to counter a Draw 2 or Draw 4 card. Can also be used as a wild card.
