How to play with the UNOBot

Uno in a Nutshell

Each player is dealt 7 cards with the remaining ones placed face down (virtually) to form a DRAW pile. The top card of the DRAW pile is (virtually) turned over to begin a DISCARD pile. The first player has to match the card in the DISCARD pile either by number, colour, or word. For example, if the card is a blue 3, a player must throw down a blue card or any colour 3. Or the player can throw down a Wild Card. If the player doesn't have anything to match, they must draw a card from the DRAW pile. If they can play what is drawn, great. Otherwise, play moves to the next person (pass).

What Word Cards Mean

  • [D2] Draw Two Cards - When this card is played, the next person to play must draw 2 cards and forfeit his turn.
  • [R] Reverse Card - Simply reverse direction of play. Play left becomes play right, and vice versa.
  • [S] Skip Card - The next player to play loses his turn and is "skipped." Mighty clever.
  • [W] Wild Card - This card can be played on any card. The person playing the card calls any colour to continue play, including the one presently being played if desired. A Wild card can be played even if the player has another playable card in his hand.
  • [WD4] Wild Draw Four Card - This is the best, meanest, most sneaky card to have. Not only does the player get to call the next colour played, but the next player has to pick 4 cards and forfeit his turn. There is a hitch, however (of course): you can only play this card when you don't have a card in your hand that matches the colour of the card previously played.

Note: A player may have a matching number or word card of a different colour in his hand and plays his "Wild Draw Four" card.

Scoring

When a player is out of cards, he gets points for cards left in the opponent's hands as follows:

  • All cards through 9 = Face value (ie: 9 is 9 points)
  • Draw 2 = 20 points
  • Reverse = 20 points
  • Skip = 20 points
  • Wild = 50 points
  • Wild Draw 4 = 50 points
