Harry Potter Uno

Ooers — there’s a Harry Potter Uno game that looks really cool! I found this review from sirriamnis:

Game Review: Harry Potter Uno is more vicious and high-scoring than the normal Uno game. This is due in part to:

Draw 2s are now Draw 3s.

There are two new cards, the Howler which is wild and will let you see all of another player’s hand (Ok, technically they’re supposed to shout out their entire hand, but with the sizes of the hands we were accumulating last night, not really practical) and the Invisibility Cloak card, also wild, which lets you cancel the action of any card played on you like Draw 3s, Draw 4 Wilds, Reverses, Skips, what have you.

I think the Howler contributes most to this. As it was used multiple times to let us see what an Uno-ed player’s remaining card was, and then we heaped on the new cards with glee.

We had some massively big scoring hands last night. But a good time was had by all.

I’m ordering one for me right now…
