Uno has been a card game classic for over 30 years and has branched out to offer itself to a multitude of platforms, so its iPhone debut was always inevitable. Finally Uno fans everywhere can enjoy Uno on the go with Gameloft's faithful adaption for the iPhone.

Jumping into the Quick Play option from the main menu will take you instantly into a game of classic Uno. The screen is split into 4 sections, one for each player taking part in a match, with the center of the screen being dedicated to the card pile. The goal is to be the first player to have cards left in your hand. Placing cards into the pile is as simple as tapping and dragging or double tapping them.

Aside from the Quick Play option, you can take part in single player tournaments and custom games which allow you to set various parameters, such as the the amount of points needed to win a game or the difficulty of the computer controlled players.

If singleplayer isn't your thing, you can take your Uno skills into 3 multiplayer modes. Online Mode allows you to play against people from around the world, Local multiplayer allows you to play against others in the same room as you and One Device multiplayer allows you to play with 4 of your friends on the same iPhone.
