El Paso, get your reverses ready. MJ’s Gaming Cafe is hosting the brand-new “Skip Me Again, Bro” Social Club, an UNO tournament built for the shameless, the strategic, and the siblings who still hold grudges from 2004. It all kicks off tonight, Friday, August 15, 2025, at 7:00 p.m. at MJ’s Gaming Cafe, 10280 Montana Ave, Suite E. Bring your best poker face and an apology letter to whoever you’re about to +4.
What’s the vibe?
Fast hands. Louder table talk. Delicious “I called UNO” energy. This first run is a test tournament, which means it’s not just about winning, it’s about shaping history. Attendees tonight will be the inaugural members of the “Skip Me Again, Bro” Social Club, helping MJ’s establish the rules and play policies for all future UNO nights. So yes, your friend who “doesn’t play much” can still show up and accidentally inspire a whole new policy about stacking Draw 2s.
Why this is your moment
UNO is beautiful chaos. It rewards patience, punishes hubris, and turns grown adults into amateur lawyers arguing over stack rules. If you’ve ever dreamed of looking someone in the eyes and calmly placing a Wild Draw 4 like it’s the final rose on The Bachelor, tonight is your night. And if someone tries to skip you twice, consider it character development.
