The 2000s was a decade defined by technological advancement, reality TV, and the evolution of internet culture. Starting with the Y2K scare (that ultimately had minimal impact), the decade saw the rise of social media platforms like MySpace and early Facebook, the introduction of the iPod, and the birth of YouTube.

Pop culture was dominated by reality TV shows like "Survivor" and "American Idol," while phrases like "That's hot" (Paris Hilton) and "Wassup" (Budweiser commercials) became part of everyday language. Fashion featured low-rise jeans, Von Dutch trucker hats, and Juicy Couture tracksuits.

The tech explosion of the 2000s laid the groundwork for our modern digital world, with the first iPhone released in 2007 and the beginning of the smartphone revolution. The decade's aesthetic often featured glossy graphics, bright colors, and digital-inspired designs – all elements captured in this special UNO 2000s Edition.

UNO was invented in 1971 by Merle Robbins, a barber from Reading, Ohio. Robbins created the game to resolve a dispute about the rules of Crazy Eights and initially sold copies of UNO from his barbershop.

The game caught the attention of Robert Tezak over Thanksgiving weekend in 1971, who became hooked on it. The following year, Tezak made a deal with Robbins to take over UNO, and International Games was formed to produce and market the card game.

Following decades of massive success, International Games was acquired by Mattel in 1992, and UNO has remained a global phenomenon ever since. According to Mattel, approximately 17 decks are sold every minute worldwide.

Today, UNO is available in more than 80 countries and has expanded to include numerous themed editions featuring popular franchises and decades, including this special 2000s edition that celebrates the unique culture and aesthetic of the early 21st century.

Setup: Each player is dealt 7 cards, and the remaining cards form a draw pile. The top card is turned over to start the discard pile.

Gameplay: Players take turns placing a card from their hand onto the discard pile. The card must match either the color or the number/symbol of the card on top of the discard pile. If a player cannot play a card, they must draw a card from the draw pile.

Special Cards:

• Skip Card: When played, the next person in line loses their turn.

• Reverse Card: Reverses the direction of play.

• Draw Two Card: Forces the next player to draw two cards and lose their turn.

• Wild Card: Allows the player to choose any color for the next player to match.

• Wild Draw Four Card: Allows the player to choose any color and forces the next player to draw four cards and lose their turn.

Winning: When a player has only one card left, they must yell "UNO!" If they don't and are caught, they must draw two cards. The first player to get rid of all their cards wins the round.
