A strange little side quest
Uno has plenty of company in a long tradition of players chasing timing, patterns and better decisions. Nintendo's Donkey Kong arrived in 1981 and introduced the character first known as Jumpman, who later became Mario. That is only half the story. Computer Space reached arcades in 1971 and became one of the earliest commercial electronic arcade games, even though its controls proved demanding for many players. That is the kind of background detail that makes another attempt at Uno feel a bit more connected to the history of play.
