What are the rules to Uno?



UNO - rules & tips

UNO is one of the classic games in which the rules are constantly debated. The Uno rules are actually straightforward, and the game can be played by children from around 7 years of age. However, since there are a few different variants and "house rules," you should go through the rules with the players before you start. We describe below a variant based on the nearest official regulations and tries to explain when there are different rules.


Rules - How to play UNO Start by shuffling the deck properly and dealt 7 cards to each player. The other cards are placed in a pile with the backside facing up. The top card from the stack is then turned over and put in its own stack.


Follow color, symbol, or denomination when laying cards. The player to the left of the person who dealt the cards then begins the game. In turn, each player must try to get rid of their cards by placing their cards in a pile, either by placing the same suit, the same number/symbol, or a special card. If there is a green 3rd, you can put another green card, a 3rd in a different suit, or a special card (either in the same suit or a black card).


Take up cards if you can not put If you cannot lay a card, you must pick up cards from the pile. Here the rules probably differ between different players. Still, according to the game manufacturer, you only need to pick up ONE card. Many people play with the fact that you have to pick up until you can lay a maximum of 3 cards. Still, these are not the official rules (although it is a fun variant to increase the tension). If you do not within the specified number of cards, the turn goes on to the next player. If you can put the card you pick up, you get it; otherwise, you fit.


Next player's turn

The next player to lay must then continue on the pile and its suit, number, or special card. If there is a "regular" card, you can only continue as best you want, but a few different rules apply if there is a special card (read below).


Say UNO when you have one card left. To win, you must get rid of your cards. When laying your penultimate card (so you only have one card left in your hand), it is common to say UNO before the next player draws. If you forget, you have to pick up two penalty cards from the deck and stand over your turn. However, it is not a must, and according to the UNO itself, it is not a rule. See below under frequently asked questions for more details.


Finish and lay the last card


When you only have one card left, you win if you place it. However, your last card must be a number card, so you must not go out on a special card.

Uno Card Game



Special cards and more



When you play UNO, you use a specific deck of cards. The deck consists of 108 cards, of which 76 are cards of different colors and numbers, and 32 special cards.


The special cards in UNO

In addition to the regular cards with numbers and colors, several cards have unique features. These cards are called "special cards" or "cheat cards" and can be used in a few different ways:


Reverse card

The order for whose turn it is turned. So instead of the next player, it is the player in the opposite direction who will lay. It can be played at any time as long as it matches the color or symbol.


Stop card

The next player may not bet. The player who is behind is skipped, and instead, it is the player who is behind who will lay. If you put several stop cards simultaneously, you skip as many players as the cards you put.


Draw 2 card

The next player is allowed to pick up two cards and face their turn.


Wild Card

The player changes the color of the pile to any color. You can choose the same that already exists (if you do not choose to have other rules). The card can be played at any time, even if you have the horizontal suit on hand.


Wild Draw 4 Card

The player chooses the suit, and the next player is dealt 4 cards. This card can only be played if you cannot place another card.





"Uno is the best game on earth and the best thing about it is that anyone can learn to play it in an easy and fun way!

Count points in UNO



Uno Scoring



Even if the basis for winning a round is to lay the last card, you can also count points over several games. The player who first gets rid of his cards then gets points based on what the other players have on hand. Ordinary cards are then worth the same points as the number on them and stop, turn, and draw cards are worth 20 points, and color cards are worth 50 points (both "Color" and "Color & draw 4"). The player who first reaches 500 points wins the game.



UNO FAQ



Frequently asked questions (UNO FAQ) about rules in the UNO


Do you have to say UNO?

The unwritten rule says that when you have a card left on hand, you must say "UNO." "Uno" means one in Spanish, so it is pretty logical. If you forget to say "UNO," you must pick up two penalty cards from the deck and stand over your turn. When you put down your last card, some people say that you have to say "UNO out," but according to UNO themselves, these are not the official rules. However, it is a little different if you drive with that rule but can arouse many emotions if you ignore this unwritten law.


Can you go out with a unique / cheat card?

No, is the most common answer (and what we think you should play by). However, there are some variants with rules where you can go out with any card, but there must be some excitement?


Can you lay several cards at the same time?

Again, there are slightly different rules for this. In a regular UNO, you can only add one card at a time. However, you can play according to the variant that you can put several cards on top of each other if it is precisely the same (i.e., you have two red 2s, you can put them together, but not a red 2nd and a green 2nd). This also applies to special cards.


You can also play with "in," which means that you can throw in the exact same card even when someone else puts it. So if an opponent plays a red 2nd and it is not your turn, you can throw it in if you have time before the next player lays his card.


Can you put special cards on top of each other?

This is somewhat unclear, and both variants seem to exist as a rule. It seems more common for player 2 to lay a special card even if player 1 has already laid one, but you can, of course, decide that it is not approved if you want.


What to do if the pile of cards runs out?

Take up all the cards laid out except the top and shuffle to a new draw pile. Be sure to mix well, as they are in pretty good order otherwise.
