CHARLESTON -- West Virginians put on their game face at Appalachian Power Park Saturday and set a new world record.

Three hundred thirty people helped celebrate the 35th anniversary of the Uno Card game.

They set a new Guiness World Record for the largest card game tournament ever played, beating the old record by 10 players.

The previous record of 320 players was set in Portugal.

Lucinda Kowalewski of Poca was the big winner.

She received 2007 season tickets to the West Virginia Power games and an X-Box 360 along with several other prizes.
