uno is the best, idk if they thought it out so well or if it was a fluke but the way that basically getting closer to winning (having less cards) reduces your chances of having a card to put down means it’s common to come close to winning and then get hosed up and the opposite is true too. i’ve had some games go thru the entire deck

Uno is just crazy eights for babies. Learn to play crazy eights and you don't need a special deck of cards and you can use as many or as few house rules as you want.

echinopsis posted:

They literally took crazy eights and made a custom deck for little kids who have trouble identifying the suits or remembering what each card does. It's exactly the same game.

there was a brief period when it had official theming support from apple. I think that image is actually one of the stock themes. there was another one that looked like dark mode. no idea if there were ever any third party themes, this was in the last days of macos classic and the first os x release dropped support

the gizmo and drafting table themes were shown off in sneak previews of upcoming versions of (classic) mac os in the 1990s. apple was so bad at actually getting os software out the door that they stayed stuck as sneak previews for years and years. meanwhile, third-party projects (like kaleidoscope) cloned the previewed themes (and added a ton of their own) so apple ended up being beaten to the punch by people cloning (and finishing) their demos

i think those modes were never actually released except as developer-only previews - but it didnt matter, because kaleidoscope et al gave you the same functionality anyway

there is a reason why one of the big changes jobs made to apple when he returned was no more sneak previews and cracking down hard on leaks
