UNO!

Personal Connection:

I have been playing UNO! with my family as long as I can remember. We have nearly all of the versions of UNO! and play it frequently. My Nieces and Nephews are finally old enough to learn to play, so we are slowly teaching and playing with them as they get old enough! This game brings back happy memories.

Overview

Battle your friends and family in this fun and easy game for players aged 7+

Be the first player to discard all your cards by matching colors or numbers and using action cards!

What You Need

You only need two things!

Setup

Setup is quick and Easy!

  1. Each player draws a card, they player with the highest number card is the dealer.
  2. Dealer shuffles cards and deals out 7 cards to every player face down.
  3. Place remaining cards face down in a single pile(draw pile).
  4. Pick up the top card and place next to the draw pile face up (This is the discard pile -you will play on this card to start)
  5. If the flipped card is a action card, place on the bottom of the draw pile and flip over another.
How to Play

The player left of the dealer goes first

  1. They will use their cards to match the color, number, or action card on the discharge pile.
  2. Player can also play a power card with no color (wild/draw 4).
  3. If the player cannot play, they must draw one card from the draw pile. If they can play the card, they must play it on the discard pile. If they cannot play the card, they must add it to their hand and their turn is over.
  4. If an action card (skip, reverse, +2, +4) is played on you, you must do the action and you lose your turn.
  5. Before playing your last card, you must say UNO! If a player noticies you have one card and says UNO! before you, you must draw four cards.
Scoring and Winning

Once a player discards their final card, the game is over.

The winner is the player who discards all of their cards first!

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions:

  1. Can you play two of the same cards in one turn?
