Card Game – Uno

Setup

Use a standard 52-card deck, including the Jokers. Shuffle and deal 7 cards to each player. Place remaining cards face down as the draw pile. Turn the top card face up to start the discard pile.

Rules and Special Cards:

Match either suit or rank (number) of the top card on the discard pile.

  • 8 = Skip → next player misses a turn
  • Jack = Reverse → reverse play order
  • Queen = Draw Two → next player draws 2 cards and misses turn
  • King = Wild → change the suit to any colour
  • Joker = Draw 4 → next player draws 4 cards and misses turn

Gameplay:

  1. Take turns playing one card that matches the top card’s suit or rank.
  2. If you cannot play, draw one card from the draw pile.
  3. Play continues clockwise (or reversed if a Reverse card is played).
  4. When you have one card left, shout “UNO!”
  5. If you forget to shout “Uno!” and another player says it first, pick up one card.
  6. The first player to discard all their cards wins.
