Q&A for How to Play UNO

UNO Attack is a variation on regular UNO that includes a card shooter and special action cards. If a player gets an “attack” card, they can shoot a stream of cards at an opponent, which they must add to their deck. To play it, you’ll need to purchase the UNO Attack! game.

Yes, you can. Use the Jack as a skip or reverse card, the queen to make the next person pick up 2 cards, and the king to let you change suits. You can use the ace to change your suit and make the next person pick up 4 cards. The rest of the cards act as regular number cards.

Yes, the next player draws that number of cards before adding up points.

It is a card with a next switch sign on it, it has two arrows, one going one way and another going a different way and it comes in every color/suit.

Draw in UNO means to fetch a card or a set of cards as per the counter card discarded by your opponent.

If someone notices that you forgot to say UNO, you are forced to draw two cards from the deck.

The point of the game is to be the first person to use all of the cards, and has none remaining.

It depends whether you are playing UNO strictly by the rules, or are adding some tweaks and variations of your own. In general, however, the null cards are taken out of the deck at the beginning of each game. If a card becomes lost or damaged, the null card can be added to the deck and replace that card.

According to the official rules, no. If you happen to have your own rules to the game that everyone abides to, then yes you can and instead of you picking up 4. The person after you would have to pick up 8. Also if there's a +4 card, you may put down a +2 card to "save yourself" and the person after you would pick up 6

You can if only the 2+ card is the same color as the color that the player chose when he/she put the 4+ card.

In a two player game, if one player plays a skip card followed by a reverse, that player lays down a second card. Otherwise, it's impossible my standard UNO rules.

After a wild card, the next player MUST play the color announced or another wild card. If they have no cards of the color asked for, they must draw instead. The card before the wild card has no impact on their play.

If you're playing with one other person and that person puts down a Skip card, your turn is skipped and they go again.

No, you cannot play more than one card in your turn. In a two-player game, it is possible to have more than one turn without your opponent getting a turn by putting down reverse or skip turn cards all in one turn.

Officially, nothing special happens; each Draw 2 makes the next person skip their turn and draw two cards. However, many people play with this house rule: if someone plays a Draw 2, the next player can "save himself" by playing another Draw 2. He doesn't have to draw any cards, and the next player has to draw four (unless she plays a third Draw 2 and makes the player after her draw six cards.)

No, you still have to pick up two cards. It would be considered cheating if you didn't.

Yes, you can play the draw 4 card.

When there is a Wild card, place it down and change the required color to any color you want.

No. You must do as the draw two card says, which is to draw two cards, not discard.

Officially, there's no restriction against doing so. But players generally do not do that. They use a colored card.

Make a new draw pile by shuffling the cards in the discard pile.

The wild card can be used to change color and force every player to use the card of the color you chose.

Yes, you can play the 7 or you can play the Wild to change the color and hold onto your 7. It's your choice.

Yes, you can play a Wild Draw Four card any time it is your turn.

No, you can finish on any card providing it matches the top card of the pile down.

No, a draw cannot happen if the last card is a wild card. When you put a wild card as your last card, you win the game.

Yes, you are allowed only if you have the "Card Stack" rule. Make sure everyone agrees with this rule before starting the game if you plan to use it.

When you play a wild card, your turn is over, and you can announce the color that people now have to play. When you draw a "Draw Four" card, your turn is over, and you can announce the color that the other players have to draw. The player after you now has to draw four cards.

The rules state that this cannot happen. This is a common rule that is used in UNO, but not an official one.

Those playing wild cards are required to select a color during their turn. This means that the former color will not remain in play until the player picks the color.
