Discussion

pigeonkid9819: first lap rule in Banned. thank you
luis_n17: Breaking news: Uno confirms the thing that isn't in the rules is not in the rules
WetPigeon: Auctioning being a Real rule is going to blow some minds. My family went 20 years without auctioning a single property.
chunky_falcon: Free Parking in Chaos is too generous. It's the whole reason people think Monopoly takes three days. It keeps pumping cash back in so nobody ever goes bankrupt.
