112 Cards
Object
Be first to get rid of all of your cards in your hand.
Setup
- Choose a dealer and shuffle the cards.
- Deal 7 cards to each player.
- Place the remaining cards FACEDOWN in the center of the table. This is the DRAW PILE.
- Flip over the top card of the DRAW PILE and place it FACEUP to form the DISCARD PILE. If this card is an Action Card, ignore it and flip over the next card.
- The player to the left of the dealer goes first and play proceeds clockwise.
Let's Play UNO!
On your turn, you try to get rid of all your cards by playing ONE CARD onto the Discard Pile.
- If you HAVE a matching card in your hand, you may PLAY IT on the Discard Pile.
- If you DO NOT HAVE a matching card, DRAW ONE CARD from the Draw Pile.
- You can only play a card if it matches at least one attribute of the top card on the Discard Pile: its color, number, or symbol.
- If the card you played is an Action Card, it does something special! (see Action Cards below)
After you draw a card:
- If your new card can be played (see above), then you may play it now.
- You may choose to draw a card instead of playing one, even if you have a playable card in your hand.
Once you play or draw a card, play continues with the next player.
NOTE: if there are no cards left in the Draw Pile, reshuffle the Discard Pile to form a new Draw Pile.
Calling "UNO!"
The moment you only have 1 card in your hand, you must yell "UNO" to alert the other players you are about to win.
However, if someone catches you and calls out "UNO" before you (and before the next player begins their turn), then you must draw 2 cards!
Winning
When a player plays their final card, they win. Time to shuffle the cards and play again!
Action Cards
Draw Two card: When played, the next player must draw 2 cards and lose their turn.
Skip card: When played, the next player loses their turn.
Reverse card: When played, the direction of play is reversed. If play was moving clockwise, it now moves counterclockwise and vice versa.
Wild card: This card matches anything so you can play it no matter what card is on the Discard Pile. When you play a Wild card, you also get to choose the color that continues play.
Wild Bat Signal Card: A "signal" (okay, you played a card) has gone out to Batman and his team, and the next player in current order must draw cards from the Draw Pile UNTIL they draw a card with either Batman, Robin, Batgirl or Nightwing on it (these cards are numbers 1, 2, 3 & 4). All cards drawn are added to that player's hand. This card is also a Wild Card so you get to choose the color that continues play.
Wild Draw Four card: This card matches anything so you can play it no matter what card is on the Discard Pile. However, there's a catch: you can only play a Wild Draw 4 if you DO NOT HAVE ANY CARD IN YOUR HAND THAT MATCHES THE COLOR OF THE DISCARD PILE.
When played, the next player has 2 options: Draw 4 cards and lose their turn OR challenge.
If the player challenges you, then you must show them your entire hand to confirm whether or not you have a card that matches the color of the discard pile. Wild cards are considered a match, too.
- If you DO NOT have a card that matches color: the challenger draws 6 cards instead of 4 and loses their turn.
- If you DO have a card that matches color: YOU must draw 4 cards and they draw none.
This card is also a Wild card, so you get to choose the color that continues play (regardless of the outcome of any challenge).
Keeping Score (Optional Victory Method)
When a player wins a hand, they receive points based on the cards remaining in their opponent's hands.
Cards are valued as follows:
- All number cards (0-9): Face Value
- Any Action Card (Skip, Reverse, Draw 2): 20 Points
- Any Wild Card (Wild, Wild Draw 4, Wild Bat Signal): 50 Points
Keep a running tally of each player's points from hand to hand. When a player reaches 500 points, they are the winner.
