Why it works

Amazon has put it on its list of this year's most wanted toys. The twist is small and it works: some cards are laid face down and you say what they are, whether it is true or not. Anyone who catches you out makes you draw, and anyone who accuses wrongly draws instead. Anyone who can play UNO understands it in a minute.

Our verdict

Buy it if UNO already comes out of the drawer unprompted at home. If they do not have it yet, start with classic UNO, which costs less.

They will like it if

  • they already play UNO and know it inside out
  • they enjoy catching the grown-ups out
  • you are after something small for a Secret Santa

Bear in mind

  • a child who hates being tricked will not find it funny
  • with two players the bluffing loses its interest

What's in the box

  • 2 to 10 players
  • The liar's cards are played face down
  • Every card has a symbol that identifies its colour
