Title
UNO Is Hard, Even for a Single Player
Abstract
UNO R is one of the world-wide well-known and popular card games. We investigate UNO from the viewpoint of combinatorial algorithmic game the- ory by giving some simple and concise mathematical models for it. They include cooperative and uncooperative versions of UNO, for example. As a result of an- alyzing their computational complexities, we prove that even a single-player ver- sion of UNO is NP-complete, while it becomes in P in some restricted cases. We also show that uncooperative two-player's version is PSPACE-comple te.
