SOLO is a card game . It was published by Amigo-Spieleverlag under this name and is one of the numerous Mau-Mau variants from which Uno emerged . By January 2009, 900,000 games had been sold.

Course of the game

At the beginning, eight cards are dealt to each of the unlimited number of players. The colors are red, yellow, blue and green. Whoever has placed his penultimate card must call "Solo". If he forgets to do this, he receives two additional cards as a penalty. The winner is whoever is the first to run out of cards.

Action cards

There are also action cards in the deck of cards.
