Pros and cons

What we like

  • Collectible metal tin keeps the cards in good shape
  • Double-deck card tray for easy dealing
  • Score pad included for keeping totals
  • Two-handed, partner and tournament options for variety

What may bother

  • Same gameplay as standard UNO, with nothing new to learn
  • The tin takes more room than a cardboard box
  • The score pad is only useful for tournament-style play

Our verdict

85 / 100

Same cards, better packaging. That is a fair deal for an UNO regular, a kid's birthday or a coworker swap. If the recipient wants a new game rather than a nicer version of a familiar one, pick something else.

Best forAnyone who already loves UNO and deserves a nicer version of it

How we score

The CTG score out of 100 is the weighted average of five criteria rated for every product: proven reliability (36%), perceived value (18%), bond and memory (18%), originality (14%) and novelty (14%). Each criterion has its own published scale, identical for every product: it rates generously, because every product in our selection is already good. The score does not depend on the guide. 60 to 69: average gift. 70 to 77: good pick. 78 to 85: safe bet. 86 to 89: favorite. 90 and above: the perfect gift, a label reserved for excellent products that customers like, one winner per occasion. In a guide, the score for the recipient combines this score with the place in the ranking. The budget is an indicative range: the exact price is shown by the store at checkout.
