Sword: This tool may be used when a Creeper card is exposed to prevent the player from discarding a resource card. There are a number of special cards that add other twists to the gameplay, but that pretty much sums up the gameplay.

The Draw 2 card can force the next player in line to draw two cards from the draw pile and loses her or his turn. If the first card is a special card, you can read more bout what to do in each in our Minecraft Uno special card section a little bit further down the page.

Players may need to reference the rules a couple of times to remind themselves of the special cards, but otherwise the game could easily be taught to players within just a couple of minutes. I honestly don’t think Minecraft fans could have expected much more from a card game inspired by the video game. Throughout the game, players can take numerous actions to earn points, and the player who reaches the points goal first will win. While fans of Minecraft will obviously get more out of the game than those that aren’t, I still think you can enjoy the game even if your aren’t a fan of the theme.

The Craft Cards have icons on them that designate how many resources are required to craft that card. For a simple card game to do a solid job recreating the crafting element of Minecraft was actually kind of surprising.

The gameplay loop is simple once you learn the basics, but there is plenty of room to craft (if you’ll excuse the pun) a brilliant strategy to ensure you come out on top.

If turned up at the start of play, the first player chooses the color to kick off play, just like any normal Wild card. To illustrate in one game most of the Creepers were at the top of the stacks so we had multiple Creepers show up early in the game. Please keep in mind that the official Minecraft rules and instructions could be different depending on the game version you have. If the last card is a Draw 2 or Draw four or the Uno Minecraft Creeper card, the player or player needs to draw the remaining cards. I wouldn’t consider the game to be filled with a lot of strategy, but there are some decisions to make in the game.
