In Adventure mode, you’ll help Felicia Blue, a secret agent posing as a professional UNO player, track down spies, foil their evil plots and regain her former glory by winning the UNO World Tournament. During the adventure, you’ll complete a series of missions by playing UNO in a variety of venues against a cast of fun and eccentric characters with unique play styles and special talents.
