I can&#8217;t find any &#8220;official&#8221; rules or instructions for Power Uno on the web, although I did find some instructions for <a href=\"http:\/\/superpowernosissies.com\/uno\/rules.pdf\">Super Power, No Sissies<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Just to set up the game\/picture we were playing in this order, Jonathan > Laurie > Kara > Tim.<\/p>\n<p>Situation 1: Going around the circle, it was my turn and I played a Draw 2 card. Laurie was next and she drew 2 cards from the deck. I then played another Draw 2 card (same color &#8211; identical card to what I laid down originally). We were confused on who would draw the next 2 cards. Would it be Laurie since I jumped in (out of turn to play a duplicate card) or would it be Kara (next in the circle after Laurie) since Laurie had already drawn two and I played at the end of her turn or the beginning of Kara&#8217;s turn?<\/p>\n<p><iframe src=\"http:\/\/rcm.amazon.com\/e\/cm?t=malesurvival&#038;o=1&#038;p=8&#038;l=as1&#038;asins=B00000JKWY&#038;fc1=000000&#038;IS2=1&#038;lt1=_blank&#038;lc1=0000FF&#038;bc1=000000&#038;bg1=FFFFFF&#038;f=ifr\" style=\"width:120px;height:240px;\" scrolling=\"no\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" frameborder=\"0\" align=right><\/iframe>Situation 2: When a duplicate card is played (as in above) who plays next? If I played a red 5 and Kara played a red 5 (out of turn) does she get to play again or would Tim play next since he was next in line after Kara?<\/p>\n<p>Any help or suggestions would be appreciated &#8211; any Power Uno players out there let us know what you think.<\/p>\n<p>Anyone else find any new games or variations on old games they love playing?<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re enjoyed Power Uno, Imagine If and another game we played on July 4 with the Treadaways, Sequence. We haven&#8217;t purchased that one yet but we&#8217;ve been meaning to. I think we have a hard time justifying paying $15 for it when we saw it at Half Price Books for $6 :-). We&#8217;ve also enjoyed Boxers or Briefs but I think Imagine If may beat that one out as a top game. And if we can find it in a store, we&#8217;d like to purchase Dirty Laundry. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Laurie and I just got back from Kara and Tim&#8217;s, we kind of invited ourselves over to hang out with my sister and her husband.
