Unos

What is Unos

Unos is a card game for up to 12 players, where the goal is to be the first to get rid of all your cards. The game is played with special Unos cards, which consist of colored number cards and a number of special cards that have different properties.

The rules of Unos

When you play Unos, each player is dealt 7 cards to start with. The remaining cards are placed in a pile, and the top card is turned over to start the pile where you can discard your cards.

• On your turn, you must play a card that matches either the color or the number of the top card in the pile in the middle.

• If you do not have a matching card, you must draw a card. If the drawn card can be played, you may lay it down immediately – otherwise, the turn passes to the next player.
  

In addition to number cards, there are alsospecial cardsin Unos that can dramatically change the course of the game:

• Skip: The next player loses their turn.
  
• Draw Two: The next player must draw 2 cards.
  
• Reverse: The direction of play changes.
  
• Color Change: The player chooses a new color.
  
• Color Change +4: The player chooses a new color, and the next player must draw 4 cards.
  

Remember, when you have one card left, you must call Unos by clicking on the Unos logo above your profile picture! If you forget and an opponent notices and calls you out, you must draw 2 extra cards as a penalty immediately. If you do not call Unos and play your last card, you must also draw two cards as a penalty, and then your turn ends.

You call out a player by clicking on a player's profile picture and then clicking the “Call out!” button.

The winner of a round is the player who first gets rid of all their cards.

Rating

When you win a match, you receive a rating based on the difference between your own and your opponents' ratings. If you defeat an opponent with a high rating, you earn more than if you defeat an opponent with a low rating. Your opponents lose the corresponding rating, and vice versa if you lose. The game will try as much as possible to match you with opponents of similar ratings.

You cannot hold a high rating for long. If you do not play for a few days, your rating will automatically start to decline.

Points and XP

You earn points and XP for playing, especially for winning matches. The number of points you earn varies from regular matches to friendly matches. You will always earn points regardless of the outcome of the game.

You can see more specifically what you earn in XP by clicking on Rank at the top.

The history of UNO

The original UNO card game was invented in 1971 by Merle Robbins in Ohio, USA, as a variant of the card game Crazy Eights. Robbins sold the first card games from his barbershop, and the game quickly became a success in the community. Later, it was sold to a larger game company, which made UNO a worldwide classic.

UNO is now played both as a family game and as a party game among friends. The combination of simple rules, luck, and tactical options has made UNO a timeless card game that is loved across generations – and now you can also play our version of the popular game right here on Playtopia.com.
