Uno, The Gold Standard of Games
When I set out to create our newest lineup of games, Uno was the one game I sought to emulate the most. Why? Well, this game has two qualities that are essential to a remarkable play experience. First, the basic Uno game is a model of simplicity; match one of your cards to the color or number of a card on the table and keep going until you are out of cards. There are some wrinkles thrown in depending on the version you are playing, but the essence of the game remains so simple that a game can begin within minutes after opening the box for the first time.

Sure there are other simple card games that have endured like Old Maid or Go Fish. But, unlike other games with simple rules, Uno does not get boring. Each game develops its own twists and turns. Even though there is a certain rhythm to playing Uno, it's never repetitive. I'm constantly reminded of this when playing with my kids. If I stop paying attention or simply go through the motions, I lose every time.

So, these two features, intuitive rules and engaging game play, have been established as essential components to any game that carries the On The Spot Game logo. And we convey these qualities with our slogan "That's Cool. Let's Play!"
