The aim of the game is to be the first player to score 500 points, achieved (usually over several rounds of play) by being the first to play all of one’s own cards and scoring points for the cards still held by the other players. Points are tallied (see Scoring section) and you start over again. Once a player plays their last card, the hand is over.
If you are not caught before the next player either draws a card from the DRAW pile or draws a card from their hand to play, you do not have to draw the extra cards. If you don’t say UNO and another player catches you with just one card before the next player begins their turn you must pick FOUR more cards from the DRAW pile. Before playing your next to last card, you must say “UNO Online”. Otherwise, play moves to the next person. If you draw a card you can play, play it. If you don’t have anything that matches, you must pick a card from the DRAW pile. Or, you may play any Wild card or a Wild Draw 4 card. Match the top card on the DISCARD pile either by number, color or word.įor example, if the card is a Green 7, you must play a Green card or any color 7. Player to the left of the dealer plays first. The game’s general principles put it into the Crazy Eights family of card games, and it is similar to the traditional European game Mau-Mau. Uno Online is an American shedding-type card game that is played with a specially printed deck.
