Once a player has no cards remaining, the game round is over, points are scored, and the game begins over again. Normally, everyone tries to be the first one to achieve 500 points, but you can also choose whatever points number to win the game, as long as everyone agrees to it.

Action Cards: Besides the number cards, there are several other cards that help mix up the game. These are called Action or Symbol cards.

In recent years, Mattel has introduced two new Action card types to Uno. Instead of 108 cards, Uno now has 112 cards. What do these 4 extra cards do? Note: You can still play classic Uno without them by simply removing them before you start the game.

3 new Wild blank customizable cards and 1 Swap Hands card.

What house rules can you make up? Mattel says it’s up to your imagination, but of course it has to be something everyone agrees with. These blank customizable cards were introduced by Mattel to add a huge dash of unpredictability and extra fun to the game.

Although the cards are erasable and you can write on them with a pencil, but if you are worried that the cards would wear out quickly, one suggestion is to use a detachable plastic sticker and write on the sticker instead, and then lightly stick it onto the card for the duration of the game.

What if your last card is a Wild Swap Hands?

This scenario may happen from time to time. If your last card is a Wild Swap Hands card, you can treat it like a normal Wild card and play it to end the game right there and then – No further action is required. This is because you would obviously not win the game if you were required to swap your hand with another player.

A few wacky suggestions for customizable house rules (Do make up your own!):

Scoring: When a player no longer has any cards and the game ends, he/she receives points. All opponents’ cards are given to the winner and points are counted. All number cards are the same value as the number on the card (e.g. a 9 is 9 points). “Draw Two' – 20 Points, “Reverse' – 20 Points, “Skip' – 20 Points, “Wild' – 50 Points, and “Wild Draw Four' – 50 Points. “Wild Swap Hands” – 40 Points, “Wild Customizable card” – 40 Points. The first player to attain 500 points wins the game.

Alternative Gameplay:

This is the alternative Uno gameplay proposed by Mattel. This is done by keeping a running tally of the total points left in each player’s hand at the end of each round. Players reaching 500 points (or any designated amount) are slowly eliminated until only two are left. The final two players then challenge each other (under Two Player rules) until someone reaches 500 points and loses.

Two Player & Four Player Rules

For two players, there is a slight change of rules:

For four players (two-partner teams), players sit opposite their partners, and play until one of either partner goes out with one Uno card left. Scoring for the winning team is done by adding up all the points from opposing partner’s hands.Share This:

Dennis says:
I cannot find the UNO rule for when the earliest time the player can call UNO. For example: 1: Person can say UNO after he/she extracts the second to last card from his hand? 2: Person can say UNO when he touches the second to last car in his hard. 3: Person can say UNO simply when he has two cards in hand and is ready to play the second to last card.
Kyle says:
I love the game Uno. The game rules are so easy and simple to understand. Games that take forever to learn how to play drive me crazy. This game always goes with us on vacation. We have even tweaked the official Uno rules a bit when we want to play a different flavor of the game. The possibilities are endless.
Peggy says:
If you're down to only two cards left with one a wild card, do you have to play it? Is it ok to draw & save the wild card?
Jack says:
A must have on vacations. We always slip this game in our bags and play when we're stuck somewhere (which always seems to happen).
Sara says:
I have played this card game so many times with so many different people and I swear everyone plays it a little different. We get going and I say, wait, you can't do that. They respond saying yes, that's how we play it. Who knew?! Make sure you get your rules down before you start playing since there are so many different versions of how to play.
Alisha says:
Uno is one of the first card games I remember leaning how to play with my extended family. We all sat around the table and played (probably 15 people). Someone quickly explained the simple rules to me and we were off playing. Lots of fun memories with this game. An easy one to throw in your bag no matter where you go.

Ah, the memories of playing this with my buddies back in the day. Somehow we would always get in an argument over the rules and everyone had their own ideas of how to play Uno. Still a classic easy fun game.

Sushma says:
According to the rules WILD cards are used to change the color or WILD DRAW 4 cards are used to change the color & the next person has to pick 4 extra cards.
Now i have a doubt WILD & WILD DRAW 4 cards - are we allowed to play a WILD card over a WILD card or a WILD DRAW 4 over a WILD DRAW 4 & then change the color?
