![]() I don’t know when became part of the Uno game, but it is included in my 2015 version. When a player lays down a Joker, he gets to switch hands with any other player in the game, usually the person with the least amount of cards. There are only four Jokers between the two decks, so this will be a rarer occurrence. ![]() Again, you can change it to match how the King is played. The person laying down the Ace can choose any suit, not just the suit on the card. When playing an Ace, the next player has to draw 4 cards from the draw pile. So how will this work? Simple, if the card on the discard pile is a 5 of hearts and the player doesn’t have a 5 or another heart card, they may use a King and change the suit to whatever their King suit is. It’s more challenging this way and if you don’t like it, change it back to a regular Wild card. You must use the suit that is on the King as it is not just any suit as is the case in the game of Uno. The King card means change suit and is replacing the Wild card in the Uno game. When a player finds this card on the top of the discard pile, they will pick up two cards from the draw pile, but is not able to discard any on their turn. This may happen several times during the game. If that player used a 5 of clubs, the next player needs to either play another 5 card or another club card.Ī Skip card is represented by 10, so if that is the top card on the discard pile, that player’s turn is skipped.Ī Reverse card, or Jack, changes the direction of play from clockwise (to start) to counter clockwise. For example, if the card on the pile is a 5 of hearts, the player must use any heart card or a 5. They must play a card to match the top card in the discard pile by either suit or number. The player to the right of the dealer goes first. The dealer gives every player seven cards, placing remaining cards face down in the middle, and flips over the first card in the discard pile. Learning the official rules of UNO has me questioning those who taught me the game.Shuffle both decks together, including the Jokers. Some players have been drawing many more than that. According to the official rules, you only have to draw two cards. ![]() This one seems clear cut in that if you don't say "UNO" when you have only one card left and someone calls you out, you must draw cards. But if a player is challenged and it's wrong, you must draw the four cards and two additional cards for a total of six.īe careful what you wish for on this one. If they are guilty, they must draw 4 cards. If you think a player has put down a draw 4 card illegally, you can challenge that player. You can only play a draw 4 card if you DO NOT have a card in your hand that matches the color in play.īut wait, there's more. And this is a rule I've never heard before. There's nothing crazy here with the wild card except that if this is the first card turned up from the draw pile, the player to the left of the dealer gets to pick the color and play a card.Īgain, if you are served with a Draw 4 card, you lose your turn after drawing 4. The rotation of play moves back to the dealer and goes the opposite way. If a reverse card is the first card set out from the draw pile, it is in play. Who reading this has been making a play after drawing? (Raises hand) If you are hit with a draw 2 card, you miss your turn after drawing two. What did that just say? It said that everything you've known about UNO and drawing until you can play was all a lie. If you can't, play moves to the next person. According to UNO, you are only to draw ONE card. If you can't play a card, you must pick the top card on the draw pile. And if you really want to get technical, the rules state that each player draws a card and the player with the highest number is the dealer. The person to the left of the dealer goes first. Let's look at the official UNO rules to set things straight with some common misconceptions. So when one player's interpretations of the UNO rules don't quite match another's, things can get heated. It is set up on family traditions and house rules. Uno is a game that has been played for generations.
