Mattel Games Waterproof Portable Camping Reviews Summary

Durability

Pros:

• "The cards themselves are very durable."
• "Cards are durable & if you happen to get water on them it just beads up & slides off."
• "The cards are sturdy and water resistance as well - which is great for taking on trips and playing at the beach or pool."
• "Absolutely wonderful to see through clear cards are durable plastic and for those kids who make messes very easily you can wash the cards off and use them again once they dry no more throwing them away!"
• "These uno cards are made to last, bought these for vacation they were a big hit got alot of compliments."
• "The waterproof laminated coating makes them great for outdoor or poolside use and gives them some added ruggedness."
• "These cards are really durable and waterproof, you can spill water on them, and they'll still hold up fine."

Cons:

• "Be careful not to drop these in the pool as they sink straight to the bottom and the paint scratches off the cards."
• "The longevity of this product may only last the summer with multiple usages. The paint on the card tends to scratch off easily."
• "Since I've had this game it's gotten wet once and some cards are already peeling and it's really annoying because I hoped it would last a long time."
• "The cards sink right to the bottom, and the print lasted a day or so before peeling off."
• "The cards are slippery at first and the face of the cards scratch and peel the images off but they last several months or more before needing a new set."
• "The designs scratch off really easy. I wish they were more durable!"
• "The quality isn’t the best on these. They’re very thin, they crease too easily and the ink rubs off."

Usability

Pros:

• "These cards are perfect for young users."
• "Games are often pacy and tense, perfect for a game night or a car journey."
• "Really great for stocking stuffers my son loves playing card games and if the cards get wet it's no problem can even leave them In the tub or outside."
• "This is a really fun version of Uno."
• "It's fun but doesn't really make Uno much better - or worse for that matter."
• "It is such a fun game for all ages and easy to learn."
• "Love Uno...but I love Waterproof Uno even more!"

Cons:

• "Any pile of cards soon slips into a mess."
• "They are a bit more slippery than a normal paper deck and can slide around and off of the discard pile easily, sending all the cards around the table."
• "Cards are waterproof however EXTREMELY slippery, they float for 2 seconds TOPS and then to the bottom they go!"
• "Yes the concept is cool, but they are impossible to shuffle."
• "When riff-shuffling the cards together, the clear laminate started cracking almost immediately."
• "They’re so slippery that it makes shuffling hard."
• "The plastic is too slippery so they just slide off of each other in the pile."

Design & Features

Pros:

• "The clip that comes with the deck is perfect and keeps everything securely together in my purse without my having to have the original game box in there to get ripped or ruined."
• "Big fan of these easy to shuffle cards."
• "The cards are also unique in that they have pre-cut holes so that you can carry them on the included plastic carabiner."
• "Taking our family fav game and now ….in to pool."
• "They are also thick which helps prevent bent cards."
• "These uno cards are super cool. They are waterproof and I actually prefer these over the paper cards."
• "Perfect for the beach!"

Cons:

• "The carabiner is really difficult to use; it’s got a very heavy spring and it doesn’t open very far, so threading the cards onto it is a real faff."
• "The clip was annoying so we traded that for a small plastic pencil box and its perfect!"
• "The plastic holder is nice in leu of a box for carrying cards. But not very convenient, since the cards need to be removed prior to play."
• "It's difficult to get the cards on or off, and it feels like it will soon break."
• "The storage clip ring is poorly shaped. Making the cards difficult to settle."
• "It’s really really hard to get cards on and off the clip."
• "The holes in the cards seem kind of silly especially since the ring that comes with it, is not easily inserted through the cards all at once."
