the way I’ve always played UNO, you can’t end with black cards, cause it’s a sure victory

+2, gg ez

You’re not actually allowed to do that most of the time. If you have a power card as your last one then usually you have to take two.

When You respond +2 with +4

"I destroy the stones with the power of stones"

you can't end with a powercard

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.

It seems like it’s legal to play this way. Unless I’m misunderstanding “Allowed on: color/ symbol” and “playable on all cards”?

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.

Nothing quite like everyone conspiring silently to drop +12 on the player with one card left.

Yeah, I don’t think you know how to play Uno.

This summary is missing some rules that restrict the play of the Draw 4 Wild card, and the “challenge” rule for calling out suspected violation of those restrictions.

When my family plays Phase 10, we don't keep points. Our rule rule is that you HAVE to go out to win. If you lay down on Phase 10 and someone on a lower phase goes out before you, you don't win yet and a new round starts until someone goes down AND out on the last phase.

Well for monopoly I always specifically mention that landing on go is always worth double aka $400

If you win, you lose, I win

Take a drink!

have a specific card that just deflects 4+ card or any card that just add more cards in your deck in uno

According to the Official Rules ^(TM) +2 and +4 cards aren't supposed to pile up, so clearly whoever wrote the rules has no idea how to play anyway

We used escalas/escaleras, which means that if you have multiple cards with either the same number or in an ascending number (like 234567), you could throw them all. You could always stack +4 and +2 regardless of order or color (if not then the game could be very short due to the throwing multiple cards rule), and if you didn't have one you'd have to take one until you found one you could throw (this one could vary).

The main custom rules are stacking +2's and stacking +4's. In most of my friend circles you can also stack a +2 over a +4 if the +2 card is of the color that was chosen by the +4 user.

I make up the rules as I go until someone uses them against me

At this point, I no longer know which are the official rules.

We bought the uno with the blank rule cards, and even with setting limits prior, we still cut the game short after 3 hours

I do not know the answer to your specific question, but years ago my friend and I put a second set of reverse, draw two, and draw 4s into a deck of cards. The game went on for over an hour until gave up, no one could win.

Found this earlier:

The person who plays it chooses the colour then everyone, including the person who plays it picks up 2 cards

I've went with "United we fall" wildcard everyone draws 2 cards, "Double edge" wildcard +5 for players and +2 for user, Discard color" user says color and everyone (including user) gets rid of that color. They've been alot of fun. I'll try some new ones soon.

Do the chicken dance, macarena, etc. Do 5 pushups. Find something yellow, bring it to the table in less than 15 seconds. Touch the ceiling in less than 10 seconds. A trivia question. Or just some actual in game things like choose one person to take 5 cards, choose one card from someone’s hand. Be creative with it :D

We've done

Discard wild - basically same as discard all but user can choose whatever color they want to discard. Then can pick a different color of the wild going forward, as well.

Instant Uno

Everyone but user shows their hand for 5 seconds

Yess this is almost what Uno Infinity is!

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.

I came to ask if a shield can play on another shield? Someone shielded against a +4 and chose who to give it to but they also have a shield, can they shield? 

Is this similar to the Shield card in Remix?

Personally, I would say as long as it is clear what you intend before the cards are delt, then it work how ever you want.

Came here for the exact same question

Can you do part 3 please?

Would you happen to have templates for the symbols on each card?

Why has nobody commented on this
