Finally got an old fave back to the table—UNO! I haven't gotten anyone to play that with me since the nineties. So fun ♥

Weirdly enough, once we started playing the "keeping score" variant, a lot of the tactics went away and play became more automatic. Less "probability calculation for a 2% edge" and more "high value cards bad, play them fast". But then as I realized we were all doing that, some tactics re-entered the fray since I could then strategically play a lower card early etc.

Also we discovered the "when you have two of the +4 cards, select a color you don't even have for the first time so you can play the second one soon after" tactic which is pretty punishing and unfun towards whomever's next to you.
