## 🤔 What is UNO?

UNO is the classic and beloved card game that’s easy to pick up and impossible to put down! Players take turns matching a card in their hand with the current card shown on top of the deck either by color or number. Special action cards deliver game-changing moments as they each perform a function to help you defeat your opponents. These include skips, reverses, draw twos, color-changing wild and draw four wild cards.

## ❓ About the Game

This two-player online version of the game was built with [React](https://reactjs.org/), [Socket.IO](https://socket.io/), [Express](https://expressjs.com/) and [Node](https://nodejs.org/en/). It currently supports two-players in each game. It also has text chat functionality to communicate with your opponent!
