Info about UNO™ SHOW’EM NO MERCY!™:

Official game description:
UNO™ Show ‘Em No Mercy™ is the most cutthroat version of the classic card game yet. It doesn’t play nice: embrace a new way to win, four rules designed to ruin friendships, and six Action Cards so brutal they should be illegal.  
Ready to watch the world (and your game night) burn?  
TWO WAYS TO WIN  
• Play all your cards to win like a classic champ.  
• Or be the last one standing as others fall to the Mercy Rule. If your hand has 25 or more cards, you're out, no second chances! Penalties stack fast, so stay sharp.  
EXCLUSIVE RULES: DRAW, STACK, SWAP, AND PASS!  
• Draw until you can play: If you don’t have a matching card, keep drawing until you do.  
• Stacking: Stack Draw Cards to bury opponents in cards.  
• 7 Swap: Drop a 7 to swap hands with the player of your choice.  
• 0 Pass: Play a 0 to pass all hands in the direction of play.  
SUPER-TOUGH ACTION CARDS  
• Use Wild Draw 10, Wild Draw 6, and Wild Reverse Draw 4 to bring devastating penalties.  
• Play Wild Color Roulette and force others to draw until they get a card of a certain color.  
• Unleash Discard All to get rid of a whole color from your hand and Skip Everyone to take another turn. There is always a way to come back!
