Uno Flip Tutorial
Needed
Two to ten players; Uno Flip card deck, pen and paper for scorekeeping
Deal
Seven cards to each player, one card at a time. Place the remaining deck (draw pile) in the middle and flip over the top card to start the discard pile. Start each round by playing the light side of the cards.
Objective
The object of the game is to be the first player to get rid of all the cards in your hand each round. Cards that match the top discard in color or number can be played into the middle.
Special Cards
Light Side
Skip - When played, the next players turn is skipped. The Skip card can be played on a matching color discard or a previously played Skip. If a Skip is the first discard flipped, the player left of the dealer is skipped, and the next player begins play.
Reverse - When played, the direction of play is reversed. The Reverse card can be played on a matching color discard or a previously played Reverse. If a Reverse is the first discard flipped, the dealer begins play and play continues counter-clockwise.
Draw 1 - When played, the next player must draw one card and loses his/her turn to play. The Draw 1 card can be played on a matching color discard, or a previously played Draw 1. If a Draw 1 is the first discard, the player left of the dealer draws one card and loses his/her turn to play.
Wild Card - When played, the player of the card announces a color. The next player must play a card in the color that was announced. The Wild card can be played on any card. If a Wild is the first discard flipped, the player left of the dealer chooses a color to begin play.
Wild Draw 2 - When played, the player of the card announces a color. The next player must draw two cards and loses his/her turn. The next following player then must play a card in the color announced by the player of the Wild Draw 2. A Wild Draw 2 can be played on any card as long as the player cannot play a card in the matching color of the top discard. If a Wild Draw 2 is the first discard, bury the card back into the draw pile, and flip over the next top card.
Flip - When played, the side of the deck that is being played is flipped. The Flip card can be played on a matching colored discard. The discard pile is completely flipped. The draw deck is flipped. All players will flip the cards in hand, and play the opposite side.
Dark Side
Skip Everyone - When played, all players’ turns are skipped, and the player of the Skip Everyone card will get to play another card. The Skip Everyone card can be played on a matching color discard, or a previously played Skip Everyone card.
Reverse - When played, the direction of play is reversed. The Reverse card can be played on a matching color discard or a previously played Reverse.
Draw 5 - When played, the next player must draw five cards and loses his/her turn to play. The Draw 5 card can be played on a matching color discard, or a previously played Draw 5.
Wild Card - When played, the player of the card announces a color. The next player must play a card in the color that was announced. The Wild card can be played on any card.
Wild Draw Color - When played, the player of the card announces a color. The next player must draw cards until a card in the color announced is drawn. The drawing player loses his/her turn. The next following player then must play a card in the color announced by the player of the Wild Draw Color card. A Wild Draw 2 can be played on any card as long as the player cannot play a card in the matching color of the top discard.
Game Play
The player left of the dealer is first to play. A card can be played into the middle if it matches the top discard in color or number, or a special card can be played (see above). If a player cannot play, a card is drawn from the draw pile. If the card drawn can be played, the player can play it. If the card drawn cannot be played, play moves to the next player.
Once a player is down to one card left, he/she must announce “Uno.” Uno should be announced as a player is playing his/her second to last card. If a player fails to announce Uno with only one card left, another player can catch it by calling Uno before the next player plays a card. If caught not saying Uno, the player with one card must draw two cards from the draw pile.
The first player to get rid of all his/her cards wins the round.
Score
The player that got rid of his/her cards first is awarded points based on the cards remaining in the other players’ hands. Only count the points on the side of the cards that were being played when the round ended.
Cards 1-9: Face Value (i.e., a 5 is worth 5 points)
Draw +1: 10 points each
Skip / Reverse (light and dark) / Draw +5 / Flip (light and dark): 20 points each
Skip Everyone: 30 points each
Wild: 40 points each
Wild Draw +2: 50 points each
Wild Draw Color: 60 points each
The first player to 500 points wins the game.
Rule
If the draw pile runs out before a player wins the round, reshuffle the discard pile to make a new draw pile.
