Uno
Uno head-to-head on a single device, with stacking +2s and Uno calls.
Classic Uno, minus the card you find under the couch three years later. Stack the +2s, call your Uno in time or draw two cards of shame — this version's rules are spelled out in black and white, to skip the usual family argument.

How to play Uno
- A duel for two, on one device passed back and forth each turn — or online, each on your own screen, with your group.
- Play a card of the same colour, the same value, or a wild.
- +2s stack between players; whoever can't answer draws the whole pile, then plays on.
- +2s and +4s never mix into the same chain — each stacks strictly on its own.
- At one card left, call “Uno”. Forget, and your opponent can call you out for a 2-card penalty.
- Finishing on a wild or a +4 costs 2 cards: you can't win on a black card.
Variants
- Some tables stack +2s and +4s together into one unholy chain. Here the two stay strictly separate — there's enough chaos already.
Frequently asked questions
- Can I play several cards of the same rank at once?
- Yes, several cards of the same rank in one turn (say, three 9s in different colours), but only one wild per turn.
- What happens if I forget to call Uno?
- Your opponent can call you out for a 2-card penalty. The embarrassment, on the other hand, isn't refundable.
- Can more than two people play?
- Online, yes, up to six players with your group. On a single device, it's a duel for two.
