how does this differ from UNO?

First invented in 1935, WHOT is a predecessor of UNO - with the aim being to get rid of all your cards as quickly as possible. The person who gets rid of all their cards first wins, while others score penalty points for the cards they have left in their hand. UNO: Object of the Game The first player to play all of the cards in their hand in each round scores points for the cards their opponents are left holding. The first player to score 500 points wins the game. Whot!: Get rid of all your cards by matching the shapes or numbers. The first person to empty their hand, wins the game! Whot! rules also include a few variations on the classic game play, such as Double Stars, New Whot! and Knockout Whot! I hope this helps? WM

do I assume the travel tuck box version is a smaller set than the main game?

these are normal playing card size

With the different versions do you still play the same as the original

Hi Jade, Generally speaking yes the aim of the game is still the same in the various editions. ''Match the shapes or numbers to be the first to get rid of all your cards'' Each edition will have characters and sometimes shapes relevant to the theme of the pack. I hope this helps? Kind Regards WM

I received this game with no instructions how to play. Help?
