The age recommendation was here, I think, from seven or eight years. It can also already start to play well with children - possibly one has to simply omit some rules. In my experience, you can start from 5 years (depending on the child) with the right Uno and does not necessarily have to buy the Uno Junior before. I had been playing it with my, just five become nephew, on vacation and he was thrilled. The rules are indeed Makao the UN are similar to but easier to see tickets for children, because they need to remember fewer symbols (rather than clubs, hearts, etc. Are there any colors). However you have to watch out for the simple Unoausführung with the cards. The packaging is torn quickly and then you have a huge pile of cards is more difficult to hold together. A minus point for children is the very smooth map design. Therefore, it is quite difficult to keep the "leaves" children. All in all, a great game, especially if you are traveling.
