Turn the top card of the stack of cards and place it beside it to form a stack of cards.
Draw a card if there are no cards in your hand. If the card just drawn can be put down, you can play it, otherwise it will be the next person's turn.
- When you play Draw 4, the next player is required to draw four cards from the stack of cards and lose their turn.
The Action cards have the following effects:
- Turn Ban: Causes the next player to skip his turn (no need to draw more cards).
- Change Leaf: Causes the attack to change (from counter-clockwise to counter-clockwise or vice versa).
- Draw 2: Causes the next player to draw two cards and lose their turn.
- Before you play your last card, if no one finds out that you forgot to say "UNO" then you won't be penalized.
- Total the points of the cards in the loser's hand.
- Number cards (0-9) are scored equal to the number shown on the card.
- Draw 2, No Turn and Switch cards count 20 points.
- Color Change and Change Color Cards Draw 4 count 50 points.
- The total score of all losers is added to the winner of that round.
Note
- Since the purpose of this game is to play cards, one trick is to play double in UNO. That is, when you have two cards of identical color and number, you can put both cards down at the same time. Remember to inform other players that you double.
- Color Change Card Draw 4 is the most valuable card. You should use them from the very beginning.
- Even though it's somewhat risky, you can play the last Change Color or Change Color Card 4 (since you win after saying "UNO", except when you draw more cards).
- You can play Incremental Draw, which means instead of having to draw 2 (4) cards after the previous player plays Draw 2 (Change Draw 4), you can play that card. Then others have to do the same until someone can no longer fight. Then, that person will have to draw the number of cards equal to the total number of cards stacked.
- Planning turn-by-turn is an important winning strategy in this game.
- If you don't have a UNO deck, you can use a regular deck of cards and treat the cards with a human face as special cards, choosing which card corresponds to which Action.
What you need
- A basic UNO deck.
- Players together.
