UNO is a popular card game that’s easy to learn and fun for all ages. Here’s a simple guide on how to play UNO.

Objective

The main goal is to be the first player to score 500 points by discarding all your cards.

Setup

  • Each player draws a card; the highest number deals (special cards count as zero).
  • The dealer shuffles and deals 7 cards to each player.
  • Place the remaining deck face down, then flip the top card to start the discard pile.

Gameplay

  • Match a card from your hand to the top card of the discard pile by number, color, or symbol.
  • If you can’t match, draw a card from the deck. If it’s playable, you can play it immediately.
  • Use special action cards like Skip, Reverse, Draw Two, Wild, and Wild Draw Four to gain an advantage.
  • When you have one card left, shout “UNO!” If another player catches you not saying “UNO,” you must draw two cards as a penalty.

Winning

  • The first player to discard all their cards wins the round.
  • Points are scored based on the cards left in opponents’ hands.
  • Continue playing rounds until a player scores 500 points.
