UNO ! Draft Topic

Could be, but all the early reverses might mean that rosters are more filled out at this point than they'd normally be. Might just be a ton of scrubs getting picked in late rounds. Speaking of scrubs, I'll take 1b Dan Driessen

I agree with moser34. I counted 10 pretty good teams still availa ble, !
includind the reds, 3 braves teams, angels, marlins, et al. 6 owners still hold reverse cards, all 6 will be able to use them in the second half of a round.

Far from the best Cardinals option, but I can't pass up on an opportunity to reference the "Magic Loogie": 1B Keith Hernandez

Also, just to weigh in on the (lack of) use of the wild card and reverse card: there is a chance I don't use either.  Not because I don't appreciate them, but because I've been able to find players I like throughout based on the timing of the reverse cards ahead of me.  I'll also probably need to fill in a $200k guy in rounds 20-25 so it won't help me much to have a high pick in the last round.  This, my friends, is what I call some very poor planning on my part...

You may still be happy to have those cards when you get stuck with 25 million dollar pitcher with 600 IP :)

Mark my dude, look at what's in front of you and look at how many rounds are left :) I think you'll find those guys can still come in handy

After seeing how this is playing out. I really think if we use a Skip card in the next version that it ought to be so you can skip yourself out of a bad pick in around. The draw 2 card would allow you to get your extra player back and still participate in round 25. That way you have an out to keep from adding a Cleveland Blues player to your roster with the sixth pick in the round.

Being forced to draft a Blues is a big part of what makes UNO so interesting/challenging. Too many card options and it just becomes another draft with some franchise restrictions thrown in.
