I'm guessing UNO originated from either Italy or Spain.

UNO in Italian and Spanish means 'One'. The point of the game is to get rid of as many cards as you can. When you only have one more card you say "UNO".

I think that's why they called the game UNO.

Every Booster Pack contains its own rare Pokemon Cards that are original to the Booster Pack, so every Booster Pack contains rare cards. *edit* If you're lucky, your reverse holo (or what some people call "shiny") card might also be a rare, so you can get one or two rares in one pack.
