How to Play Variations of UNO

Spice up your UNO games by adding a few simple rules to play an UNO Variation.

Things You'll Need

• Card Tables
• Pencils
• Notebooks
• Folding Chairs

Instructions

Two-Player UNO

1. Play normal UNO, but with only two players.

2. Count Reverse cards as skip cards, and immediately play another turn.

3. Play another turn right away after you play a Skip card.

4. Play again after you play a Draw Two card or a Wild Draw Four since your opponent's turn is taken by drawing cards.

Challenge UNO

1. Play normal UNO with three or more people.

2. Keep track of each player's personal point total at the end of each round.

3. Leave the game when your personal point total reaches 500. You are "out."

4. Play until only two players remain. Those players play one more hand of Two-Player UNO (see above rules), and the winner of that hand wins the game, regardless of points.

Speed UNO

1. Play normal UNO.

2. Play out of turn if you have the exact same card as the card previously played. Do this only before the proper player plays the next card.

3. Continue play with the person to the left of the person who last played a card, even if that person played out of order.

Tips & Warnings

• Save your word cards as long as you can, then play them in a straight run to win the game without giving your opponent a chance.

• If a red 5 is played, for example, and you have a red 5 in your hand, you can play it immediately even though it is not your turn.

• On Draw Cards, the person who would have had to draw still must draw even if another Draw was played on top of it out of order. The new Draw card counts, too.

• On Wild Draw Four cards, the player must pick a color before a Wild Draw Four can be played on top of it.

• Do not replenish the draw pile. If the draw pile runs out, draw cards no longer cause people to draw, and if you can't play, skip your turn.

• If you have doubles in your hand, you might as well play them at the same time.
