Gameplay and Card Game Mechanics
Super UNO follows the standard rules of UNO, where up to four players (or CPU opponents) take turns playing cards that match the color or number of the top card on the discard pile. The game features action cards, including "Skip," "Reverse," "Draw Two," and "Wild" cards, which add strategic depth and unpredictability.
