Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- Picked up Take 5 on a whim and it is now as much a staple at the family table as UNO
- Parent context: Wow, me and the wife are heading to Mexico from the UK in November, we always take Uno and a deck of cards with us on our holidays Reply: In Mexico, you have to bring "One", for obvious reasons.
Cons
- Either you get a set amount of actions (e.g. one in ticket to ride, most trick taking games, uno or two in terraforming mars)
- In Uno, when you can’t play, almost everyone I know expects you to draw *until* you find something you can play, rather than draw one and play it if you can. Official rule makes the game much faster and less prone to massively swinging o...
- It really gives me strong UNO vibes, where everyone seems to have their own version of the rules, especially for these well-known games.
- Ive played the basics and I mean BASICS like monopoly, scrabble, cluedo, uno etc.
- A few months ago, police arrested some young people who were playing UNO in a park, because, according to them, it was illegal.

In my limited experience (Monopoly, Uno), house rules are not generally logical. They're just chaotic and something kids thought was fun.
Same people also can't understand that Uno has scoring
Nothing says “uniquely different and compelling” like 5 copies of Uno.
