To discard, match a card from your hand with the top card on the discard pile by number/symbol or color (suits are disregarded). If you do not have any matching cards, you must take a card from the draw pile which ends your turn. If you successfully discard, you have the option to play a card from your UNO® hand onto your poker hand using the matching rules. Action cards force an action: "Reverse" play, "Draw Two" cards, "Draw Four" cards or "Skip" next player. Wild cards let you name what color will continue play. Before discarding your second to last card (or immediately afterwards), you must call "UNO." If another player catches that you forgot before the next turn begins, you will receive two cards from the draw pile. Once you have called "UNO", you must wait until your next turn to play your last card either on your poker hand or the discard pile. Draw Two Card: When played, the next person to play must draw 2 cards and miss their turn. Reverse Card: This simply reverses direction of play. In two-player UNO®, it acts as a skip. Skip Card: When played, the next person to play is skipped (loses a turn). Deck and Action Cards The UNO 52TM deck has 240 cards. There are four standard 52 card decks, each unchanged, save for being colored one of the four UNO® colors: red, yellow, green and blue. There is a blue deck, a green deck, and so on. There are also 32 of the regular UNO® action cards in the deck. These cards behave just as they do in original UNO®. Wild Card: The person playing this card calls for any color to continue the play. 12 13 Wild Draw Four Card: Behaves as a wild and a draw card. This may only be played when the player has none of the active colored cards in their hand. Players may bluff and play it illegally, but the next player may challenge it using SELECT. ...
