About this game:- Blokus game strategy meets UNO card game twists with the Blokus Shuffle: UNO Edition board game!
- The one rule of Blokus still stands – pieces must touch at least one other piece of the same color at the corners! But the game gets WILD when special UNO-inspired action cards come into play and change everything!
- Blokus Shuffle features a black gameboard for a whole new look – the vibrantly colored Blokus pieces really pop against the striking background.
- Deal yourself in for the craziest game of Blokus you've ever played! The objective is still to play all your pieces, so use your UNO-inspired action cards wisely to place your pieces and conquer the board!
- Age Range (Description): 7 years and up
- For 2 to 4 Players

The production quality of this game is on the lower end, certainly lower than the Deluxe version of the base game (the one with a silver, trapezoidal base) and possibly on par with the standard base game (the one with a white base). The pieces are smaller than those in my Deluxe version, meaning they cannot be played on the same base. I cannot verify the piece/board compatibility with the base game. The cards are fairly low quality.
You cannot play regular UNO with the cards in this package. The package contains 1-2 of each card type (a total of maybe 10 cards) for each color. There are no cards with numbers. Sorry I can't state the card composition with more specificity, my copy is in storage right now, and I haven't yet seen a component breakdown online.
As others have alluded to, the use of the cards (the UNO portion) of the game is a bit lackluster. The abilities the cards provide are quite ingenious, in my opinion, but how the game implements them as part of regular gameplay is poor, in my opinion. Thus far, I've decided to take the UNO cards from this package and put them in my Blokus Deluxe package, then I create house rules to (a) eliminate duplicate cards, (b) allow each player access to use any of their cards once throughout the game (rather than relying on luck to draw them and limit players' hands), and (c) allow a player to choose when to play a card (allowing their opponents to see what they have left) rather than always requiring a card to be played.
I might consider creating an additional house rule to require a player to forfeit a remaining piece in their pool to use a card. This would self-balance because smaller pieces have fewer points but can fit in tighter spaces, and this allows a player who might not be able to play a large piece toward the end of the game to try to recover by forfeiting the (now useless) piece for a clutch play.

Thanks! I picked it up knowing I don't have to use the UNO part.
