Beetlejuice is one of the most iconic and beloved supernatural comedy films of all time:

The Original Film: Directed by Tim Burton and released in 1988, Beetlejuice tells the story of a recently deceased couple who become ghosts haunting their former home. When a new family moves in, they attempt to scare them away with the help of a mischievous and crude bio-exorcist named Betelgeuse (pronounced "Beetlejuice"). The film starred Michael Keaton in the titular role, along with Geena Davis, Alec Baldwin, and Winona Ryder.

The Sequel: Beetlejuice Beetlejuice (2024) brings back the beloved characters decades after the original film, with Tim Burton returning to direct and Michael Keaton reprising his iconic role. The sequel continues the supernatural comedy legacy whilst introducing new characters and situations.

Cultural Impact: The original Beetlejuice became a cultural phenomenon, spawning an animated series, a stage musical, and countless references in popular culture. The film's unique blend of dark humour, imaginative production design, and quirky characters has made it a Halloween favourite and a cult classic.

The Name Rule: One of the most famous elements of the Beetlejuice franchise is the rule that saying his name three times will summon him - a concept that has been cleverly incorporated into this UNO edition with the special "Beetlejuice Beetlejuice Beetlejuice" card rule!

This UNO edition brings the spooky fun of the Beetlejuice universe to game night, allowing fans to play with their favourite supernatural characters whilst enjoying the classic UNO gameplay with a ghostly twist!

The "Beetlejuice Beetlejuice Beetlejuice" Card is a special rule card unique to the Beetlejuice UNO edition that adds supernatural chaos to your game!

How It Works:

1. When a player plays the "Beetlejuice Beetlejuice Beetlejuice" Card, they must say "Beetlejuice" three times - just like summoning the bio-exorcist in the movies!

2. If the player forgets to say "Beetlejuice" three times when playing the card, they must take all the cards themselves as a penalty.

3. If the player correctly says "Beetlejuice" three times, they draw 3 cards from the deck.

4. The player then gives all 3 of these cards to any opposing player of their choice.

5. The chosen player must add these cards to their hand, potentially significantly increasing their card count.

6. After the cards are distributed, the game continues with the next player in the sequence.

This special rule captures the essence of the Beetlejuice movies, where saying his name three times has consequences - though in this case, the consequences fall on your opponents rather than summoning a mischievous ghost!

The card adds an element of risk and reward, as you must remember to follow the ritual properly or face the penalty of taking all the cards yourself.

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 like Beetlejuice, creating new ways for fans to engage with both the classic card game and their favourite characters.

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 colour 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 colour for the next player to match.

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

• Beetlejuice Beetlejuice Beetlejuice Card (Beetlejuice Edition): When played (and saying "Beetlejuice" three times), the player draws 3 cards and gives them to any opposing player of their choice.

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. Games are typically played to 500 points.
