How to Play Uno

TL;DR Uno is a card game where players aim to be the first to play all their cards by matching colors or numbers, with various action cards adding twists. House rules often vary.

Basic Rules of Uno

Uno is played with a deck consisting of four colored suits (red, green, blue, yellow), each numbered from 0 to 9, along with special action cards: Skip, Reverse, Draw Two, Wild, and Wild Draw Four [5]. Players take turns matching a card from their hand to the top card of the discard pile by color or number. If unable to match, they must draw a card from the deck. The goal is to be the first to play all your cards, shouting "Uno" when you have one card left [2:1].

Special Action Cards

Action cards add strategic elements to the game. The Skip card skips the next player's turn, Reverse changes the direction of play, Draw Two forces the next player to draw two cards, Wild allows the player to choose the next color, and Wild Draw Four lets the player choose the color while forcing the next player to draw four cards [5]. Some versions include additional cards like Wild Draw Six or Wild Draw Ten, adding complexity [5:1].

House Rules and Variations

Uno is known for its flexibility with house rules. Many players stack Draw cards, allowing them to pass the accumulated penalty to the next player [3:3][3:5]. While official rules typically do not allow stacking, many enjoy this variation for its chaotic fun [3:8]. Scoring can also vary; some players keep score based on the cards left in opponents' hands, though this is less common [2:4][2:12].

Strategies

Strategic play involves holding onto powerful cards like +2 or +4 until needed, or using them as a final card to win [2:9]. Players may also try to remember which high-value cards have been played to anticipate opponents' moves [2:10]. Flipping between phases in games like Uno Flip adds another layer of strategy [5:1].

Resources for Learning

For those new to Uno or looking to clarify rules, instruction manuals and video tutorials are available online [1:2][1:3]. These resources can help understand both official rules and popular variations. Additionally, digital versions of Uno offer interactive ways to learn and play the game [3:1].

I dunno what lying liar made this up, but it's all wrong. No one in the history of Uno has ever kept score or counted points after a hand. Never.

Yeah, I have never played Uno using points. My little family plays all of the time. The only counting that we do is maybe when someone knows that all of the Wild +4 in the deck have been played, and that's more from curiousity.

It may be true that no one plays with that mechanic, but it has definitely been an official rule in the past. May still be. I clearly recall in 1980’s UNO that there was an advantage to dumping “action” cards (eg. Wild, Reverse) and then higher numeric value cards (eg: 8, 9) before low numeric value cards, so that if you fail to win that round, you’ve minimized your accumulated points as much as possible, positioning you better to win over the course of a multiple-round series.

In the aughts, there was also a rule added where a player would be penalized with a “draw 2 cards” pull from the deck if the told an opponent what/how to play their cards. Most people didn’t know about that one either, but it was in the card pack instruction booklet. That rule has been discontinued.

This rules summary is, however, missing another real, current rule that no one plays with: the restrictions on playing a “Draw 4 Wild” card, and the “challenge” option for players who suspect an opponent has illegally played a Draw 4 Wild card. I think this rule is a relatively newer one - I don’t recall it from my UNO initiation 40+ years ago.

I've played a lot of games with keeping a count score. It's good if you know you'll be playing a bunch of games and want to have a way to see who won the night.

It also mixes up some strategies other than "win this current game", like you want to get the +4 wild out even if it costs you the game, because in the long run it'll help your score.

No, the next player draws 2 or 4 but doesn’t play a card. The following player can then play a draw 2 on a draw 2 since they match.

Zombie_Hussar · 3 months ago

Enjoying a far more fair and balanced game. I get that its funny to say "Haha, Greg is at the end of our +2 chain, now Greg has to draw 18 cards!" but now Greg is upset, has a massive hand he will never be able to play out unless everyone else gets hit again (statistically unlikely unless you have to reshuffle the discard). The other players now have weaker hands and cant respond to threats like other players about to go out, so you end up with a late game consisting of piddly little tit for tat actions. Also, it will most likely extend the game if the variance is off (like now greg has all the greens except for like 3, and everyone is trying to dump their other colors, but cant cause they keep getting stuck on green), or you will do this +2 chain again, have to shuffle the discard into the draw, then you are back at one unless someone is able to finally go out on a luck hand that lets them avoid this nonsense.

I dont want long games with big swings, or worse, games that drag on between three people cause they cant get each other out. I want a lot of little games where I have choices and options, where I don't get bombed into the stone age by players who think that they are "playing smart" by holding multiple draw cards and waiting for a possible chain instead of pinging their neighbors who have a better state.

Ultimately I hate how insufferable the people who play with draw chains are when you point out its not in the rules. That this is the ONLY WAY to play and HOW DARE I point out the official rules, not even insist on them, just point out that its not the intended way to play. Players who think they are so much better because random chance gave them a hand that allowed them to dodge the chain that just took their neighbor out of the game, a neighbor who now knows their chance of winning is a long shot, but cant quit because that's not allowed.

If you enjoy playing the way the rules are, great! if you enjoy playing with house rules, also great! Just have the conversation before you start so everyone knows and maybe try it a different way every now and then to see how your group likes it.

Play Idea

Posted by KeneGitu1234 · in r/unocardgame · 3 months ago
post image

Set Up Standard Uno deck: Take 0 to 9 of each colour 2 Skip of each colour 1 Reverse of each colour 2 Draw 2 of each colour 4 Wild 4 Wild Draw 4 Blank Cards for custom.

Every Card from the Uno Flip deck (to make sure every flip card exists in both the phases/sides)

No Mercy Deck: 0 to 9 of each colour 1 Skip Everyone of each colour 1 Reverse of each colour 1 Draw 4 of each colour 4 Colour Roulette 4 Wild Draw 6 4 Wild Draw 10 4 Wild Reverse Draw 4

Place the standard Uno cards and the Light Side of Flip cards face down, and Uno No Mercy cards face up on the Draw pile and shuffle.

This way, when the Light phase begins, you can only play the standard Uno cards and the Light Side of Flip cards. You can not play No Mercy cards during this phase.

Deal [your choice] amount of cards to each player.

Play The Light begins, and you can play the Light Side of Flip or standard Uno cards.

When you play a Flip card, just like in Uno Flip, flip the Draw pile, Discard pile, and your hand. Now the Dark phase begins.

In this phase, you can only play the No Mercy and the Dark Side of Flip cards. Plus, the Uno Spectrum rules apply now. You can no longer play the Standard Uno cards until the game is flipped back to the light phase using another Flip card.

If you only have No Mercy cards during the light phase, or Standard Uno cards during the dark phase, you must draw a card.

Win Condition Ranking System:- Losing Cards: Order of losing all of their cards is the order of ranking. i.e, the first one to lose their cards is deemed as first, and so on.

Mercy: If A player has/gets 25 cards or more, they are eliminated from the game. Mercy is active during both of the phases. The order of elimination is the order of the ranking from the bottom. i.e, the first one to get eliminated comes last, and the next one is the penultimate.

Rules: Game goes on until one of the two final players lose all of their cards or gets eliminated.

0's Pass and 7's Swap only apply during the Dark phase, and only to No Mercy cards.

Discard Colour can also discard its adjacent colour on the Spectrum, but ONLY one colour at a time. e.g: Discard Yellow can Discard Orange or Green as well. So technically Green, Yellow, Orange and Teal have 4 Discard colour card.

House Rules: Stacking

You are free to add or remove cards according to your choice, and are free to add any house rules as well.

If you guys have any more ideas, please let me know so that I can enjoy them as well :)

tldr: Combining the mechanics of Uno Flip, No Mercy and Full Spectrum.

KeneGitu1234 · OP · 3 months ago

Also, the eliminated players' hand must only be reshuffled once the Draw deck has been emptied, with the Discard pile.

Basic game strategies that came to mind:-

Aim for Flip cards, as you can play those cards in both the phases.

Skip Everyone: Save them, and use them when you are rid of all your Standard cards and play it.

Ultimate Kill: Stack Draw cards to forcefully eliminate 1 player so that the game ends quicker.

If you got any more ideas, feel free to share.

A Card Full of Surprises

Posted by AJChiong28 · in r/unocardgame · 3 months ago

This is another one of my personal cards, I call it "Surprise".

What it does is that, after playing this card, each player, starting from the user, must take out a "Surprise Token" from the "Bag of Surprises". Each player then take turns performing the action indicated on the token they have drawn before discarding them back into the bag.

The actions on the tokens are as follows:

• -2: Discard any two cards from your hand • +4: Draw four cards • Discard Red: Discard all of your red cards • Discard Yellow: Discard all of your yellow cards • Discard Green: Discard all of your green cards • Discard Blue: Discard all of your blue cards • Draw Red: Draw until you get a red card • Draw Yellow: Draw until you get a yellow card • Draw Green: Draw until you get a green card • Draw Blue: Draw until you get a blue card • Number Tornado: Discard all of your number cards • Trick: Gains the Trick Effect • Reveal: Reveal all of your cards • UNO!: Discard all your cards and leave only one on your hand

For the full details on Trick, i'll leave a link here for reference: https://www.reddit.com/r/unocardgame/s/GERhF7OXzs

Even if you're the user of the card, you can still draw up a bad token, while others can be so lucky, so it's more of a "use at your own risk" type of card, but if you don't mind the surprises, then this can be a very fun card to use.

My setup for Surprise is kinda too much, but I love being extra haha. If you want to recreate this in a cheaper and easier alternative, you can try using paper strips, write down the actions on each strip, roll them up, and put them all in a small box or basket or any container you have.

I didn't understand how the "Trick" token works

2 upvotes on reddit
AJChiong28 · OP · 2 months ago

Well, it is kind of a complicated one, but I'll try to make it simpler.

When a player gets the TRICK Token from Surprise, that player then gains the TRICK EFFECT. Basically what this effect does is that when that player has managed to discard all of their cards, the effect then triggers, making that player draw back 4 new cards (tho I nerfed it down to 3 in our plays recently since it's kinda OP). Think of it as an anti-win effect that passively triggers. After the effect has been triggered, the effect will then be removed from that player.

If you want, you can make up your own mechanic for it, this is just for my setups.

How to play Uno

Here’s a quick guide on how to play Uno:

Objective

Be the first player to score 500 points by getting rid of all your cards in each round.

Setup

  1. Players: 2 to 10 players.
  2. Deck: Uno consists of 108 cards (76 number cards, 8 Skip cards, 8 Reverse cards, 8 Draw Two cards, 4 Wild cards, and 4 Wild Draw Four cards).
  3. Deal: Shuffle the deck and deal 7 cards to each player. Place the remaining cards face down to form a draw pile. Flip the top card over to start the discard pile.

Gameplay

  1. Starting Play: The player to the left of the dealer goes first.
  2. Playing a Card: On your turn, you must match a card from your hand to the top card of the discard pile by:
    • Color
    • Number
    • Symbol (Skip, Reverse, Draw Two)
    • Wild cards can be played at any time.
  3. Special Cards:
    • Skip: Next player loses their turn.
    • Reverse: Reverses the direction of play.
    • Draw Two: Next player draws two cards and loses their turn.
    • Wild: Change the current color.
    • Wild Draw Four: Change the color and the next player draws four cards (can only be played if you have no cards of the current color).
  4. Drawing Cards: If you cannot play a card, draw one from the draw pile. If you can play it, you may do so; otherwise, your turn ends.

Calling Uno

When you have only one card left, you must shout "Uno!" If another player catches you not saying it, you must draw two cards as a penalty.

Ending a Round

The round ends when a player has no cards left. Points are scored based on the cards remaining in opponents' hands:

  • Number cards: face value
  • Skip, Reverse, Draw Two: 20 points each
  • Wild, Wild Draw Four: 50 points each

Winning the Game

Continue playing rounds until a player reaches 500 points.

Tips

  • Use special cards wisely to disrupt your opponents' plans.

Enjoy your game of Uno!
