Cover of Star Trek UNO game
Star Trek UNO (aka Star Trek Special Edition UNO) is a card game produced by Mattel in 1999. It was the first of three such card sets released under Mattel's license to produce Star Trek-related items.
Game Components[]
- 112 Game Cards
- Instruction Sheet
- Collectors' tin for storing the game
Gameplay[]
The gameplay is much the same as the standard UNO card game, except that the cards feature images of characters and items from Star Trek: The Original Series. The game also includes four unique "Starfleet Command" WILD cards that affect gameplay:
- Live Long And Prosper allows you to discard your hand of cards and draw a new hand of the same size (if you discarded six cards, you drew six new cards), then call a new base color to continue play.
- Mind Meld forces the next player to show you their hand of cards. You then call a new base color to continue play.
- Double Tribble allows you to call a new base color, then forces the next player to draw enough cards that their hand size is doubled (i.e. if they hold five cards, they must draw five more).
- Beam Me Up, Scotty negates the effect of any of the other Command cards directed toward you, then allows you to call a new base color to continue play.
