"house rules"

Uno; a simple card game enjoyed by millions. I played it a lot more in childhood than in adulthood, but it's always been about getting rid of all your cards first. Once you did that, *BAM* winner winner chicken dinner, let's start a new round! Seems a little too simple and one-sided. In addition, I've seen it played countless different ways, but which way is right? Do you have to keep drawing until you get a card that you can use if you don't have a valid card to play? Do you lose your turn on a draw-two or draw-four card? Simple answer: read the rules, memorize the rules, play by the rules. After reading the rules, I want to play Uno. It could be an intense interesting card game with multiple rounds that count for something, and a healthy portion of strategy. In my experience "house rules" almost always cheapen gameplay and ruin the whole experience. Biggest example, Monopoly. Everyone hates Monopoly supposedly because it takes forever. I've finished games in under 90 minutes, multiple times. Wanna know how? We play strictly by the rules; they are quite thorough. Speaking of 90 minutes, shout out to my girls on the USWNT! Amazing game, outrageous finish, beautiful soccer! Booyah ladies!!!
