The goal
Be first to empty your hand each round. By the official scoring, the first to 500 points wins.
How it plays
- 1Deal 7 cards each and turn one up to start. On your turn play a card matching the top of the pile by colour, number or symbol.
- 2If you can't, draw one. You may play it at once if it fits; otherwise play passes on.
- 3Action cards: Skip (the next player misses a turn), Reverse (play changes direction), Draw Two (the next player draws two and misses a turn). A Wild can be played any time and names the next colour; a Wild Draw Four also makes the next player draw four and miss a turn, and may only be played when you hold no card of the current colour.
- 4With one card left you must say "UNO". If you're caught before the next player plays, draw two.
How you win
When someone goes out the round ends and they score the cards left in the others' hands. For a single round, going out first wins.
First time?
- This is standard UNO; the UNO No Mercy on the shelf has its own rules, so don't mix them.
- Wilds are safest kept for your last card or two.
