10 Board Games Everyone Thinks They’re Good At (But Aren’t)

8. Uno: Simplicity and the Luck of the Draw

Uno is a fast-paced card game where players race to be the first to empty their hands. Confidence abounds as players strategize and play their cards, yet the game’s reliance on the luck of the draw means that outcomes can be unpredictable. The simplicity of Uno masks the fact that even the most confident players can be thwarted by a poorly timed draw or an unexpected card from an opponent. While strategic play is important, the hidden influence of luck ensures that confidence in Uno often belies the game’s true nature.
