This is how you play UNO. First, you need at least two players, but the more players you have, the better. Second, start by dealing seven cards to each player. Then, place the remaining cards face down in the middle of the table; this is the draw pile.

Next, turn the first card of the draw pile face-up and place it in a separate pile, this is the discard pile. The first player starts by playing a card that matches either the number, colour or type of the card on top of the discard pile. If a player wants to change the colour of the card for any reason, they can play a wild card and choose a new colour. However, if the player can’t play any of the cards, they must draw a card from the draw pile. If the card drawn matches the colour, number or type of the card on top of the discard pile, they can play it. If not, the game moves on to the next player.

Then, as soon as a player is down to just one card, they must say" UNO" before anyone else notices it. If anyone else says “UNO" first, the player must draw two cards from the draw pile.

The player that plays all of their cards wins. As you play, you will notice several types of cards:

A “Skip" card that skips the next player.

A “Reverse" card that changes the direction of the play.

A" Draw two cards" forces the next player to draw two cards and skip their turn. Finally, a “Draw four cards" which is a combination of a wild card and a drawcard. These cards make the game even more fun.

Enjoy the game!
