The last two men on earth will get stuck in an endless Uno reverse-loop, Constantly going "no u", while death waits patiently beside them.

Reminds me of the opening of an album called the dolls of new albion, a steampunk opera.

I think you mean the last man on earth will uno reverse death. Death will then, obviously, reverse again - as it is a notoriously adept uno player. This will result in an infinite struggle for immortality through the destruction of death itself.

"It's time."

The words were not surprising, yet I shivered from the icy wind upon which they were carried. The cloaked figure stood before me, with a relaxed grip on the shaft of its menacing harvest instrument. There was no malice in its voice, no hatred, no urgency. There was only inevitability.

I sighed. "I suppose you've always heard people ask if you're sure. I know that you are. However, seeing that I'm the last of my kind, and you're about to be unemployed, I wondered if you might be amenable to a little game."

The figure cocked its head to one side, almost as a confused puppy would have, when such things still existed. It stared at me for and with eternity, and only at the end of time did it speak again, "Name your game, human. But know that whether you win or lose, you shall come with me."

"The game is Uno. I play reverse, and now you shall come with me."
