classic rules

game is for 2-10 players
every player starts with 7 cards
the rest of the cards are placed in a Draw Pile face down
the top card should be placed in the Discard Pile, and the game begins
if top card is 🎨 wild or wild draw 4, return it to the Draw Pile, shuffle the deck, and turn over a new card

every player views his/her cards and tries to match the card in the Discard Pile
you have to match either by the number, color, or the action
if the player has no matches or they choose not to play any of their cards, they must draw a card from the Draw Pile
game continues until a player has 1 card left, the moment a player has just one card they must yell “UNO!”
if they are caught not saying “Uno” by another player before the next player has taken their turn, that player must draw 2 new cards as a penalty
“Uno” needs to be repeated every time you are left with 1 card

once a player has no cards remaining, the game round is over, points are scored, and the game begins over again
the player who first reaching 500 points (or any designated amount) is lose

besides the number cards, there are several other cards that help mix up the game, these are called action cards

uno action cards

🔁 reverse - reverses the direction of play
🚫 skip - the next player is skipped
(+2) draw 2 - the next player must draw 2 cards and lose a turn
🎨 wild - play this card to change the color to be matched
(+4) wild draw 4 - changes the current color plus the next player must draw 4 cards and lose a turn

the first card placed in the Discard Pile should be applied to the first player

if you draw a playable card, it will be played automatically

⁉️ how to check that the player didn’t lie and the card really doesn’t match?

to play (+4) wild draw 4 card, you must have no other alternative cards to play (except 🎨 wild card)
if you think the player who played a wild draw 4 on you can play another card, you can challenge this player
if you are right, this player must wild draw 2 cards
otherwise, you’ll draw 6 cards

when any card is played, anyone (even the same player) holding the same card (color and rank) may play it IMMEDIATELY, except wild cards
play continues from the player who sped
that card interrupts (+2) stack chain

when someone plays a 7, that player can (must ⁉️) swap hands with another player

when anyone plays a 0, everyone rotates hands in the direction of play

🔁 reverse works like 🚫 skip
play 🚫 skip, and you may immediately play another card
if you play a (+2) draw 2 or (+4) wild draw 4 card, your opponent has to draw the number of cards required, and then play immediately resumes back on your turn
