The "cannot contain current color when playing wild draw four" seems to be part of the official rules. Why is it listed as a variant? Eurleif 02:40, Jan 12, 2004 (UTC)
It would be nice to include the old card design in the table. [User:PrometheusX303|PrometheusX303] 21:15, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks Nanami Kamimura for the old style pics. They bring back memories.
- Can anybody add something about Uno Attack? I've nver played it, but I think it's relevant. PrometheusX303 00:58, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
Does anybody remember the companion game Ono 99? -- Gerkinstock 00:19, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
Does the UK have UNO? --e. 01:22, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Rules
- If, for example a blue 4 is played and the next player has a red, yellow, and green 4, they may play all of them, but they may only play 4s.
This seems inconsistent with the rules as described. As far as I can tell, you can play any other blue card or a normal Wild card (if you have any) Nil Einne 13:58, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

- I removed the line. It conflicted with the rules above it. PrometheusX303 17:27, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Draw 2
I believe there's also a variant where if one person plays a draw 2, the person after them can play a draw 2 and it contines until somebody doesn't have a draw 2 to play.
- I've played where a pickup card can be followed by another pickup card, with the pickup becoming cumulative. So for instance, Alice plays blue 2+, Bob plays red 2+, Charlie plays blue 2+, and Daisy, not having any 2+es, has to pick up six. We couldn't mix 2+ and 4+ cards though. Effect on strategy is everyone hoards pickup cards if possible, to use defensively.
I've also played where if you can't play, you must KEEP PICKING UP until you can! Leading to an unfortunate player having to pick up many cards on occasion. 131.111.245.195 (talk) 22:45, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Two Player UNO
My pack states that it is for 2 to ten players. The page indicates that it's for 3 or more. I will change it unless someone can show a reason why it should not be 2 or more. --Walter Görlitz 05:54, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
- It is for 2 or more. The only difference is that Reverse cards act as Skip cards during 2-player matches, and (obviously) after a Draw 2/4 card play resumes with the player who just played that card. Satan's Rubber Duck 23:29, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] new link?

[edit] Link Fixing
This page is probably a target for links to non-notable sites. Anyway, I removed two redundant links. Check the history for changes. --CCFreak2K 08:00, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
'Despite being developed in America, Uno is officially pronounced exactly the same way as the Italian and Spanish word for "one", uno.'
Can someone clarify this for me? How else would it be pronounced? Like 'you-no'? PolarisSLBM 02:25, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] uno spin
if a player must spin the wheel and lands on discard all but 2 cards but only has 1 card what is the rule i would assume since they have only 1 and are instructed to keep at least 2 they must keep at least that card any comments —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.253.151.188 (talk) 02:16, 27 February 2007 (UTC).
[edit] single game record?
It's not entirely clear what the "single game record" is from reading this article. My instinct says it's a record for the longest recorded game, but the writing of the section is not acceptable. The lack of sources is also a troubling concern. Roehl Sybing 17:48, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Loose a turn?
With the inclusion of blank cards in the deck, there is now an ability to make your own cards. Some friends and I have made ones like 'draw 8' 'pick a person to draw 4' 'Get me a drink and draw one' and 'pick a person to loose a turn and draw one'. This last card has drawn some debate over interpretation. Anyone have any thoughts? The situation. It is a 3 handed game going to the left. Say a player in a chair (seat 1) laid the 'pick a person to loose a turn and draw one' and pick the player to his right (seat 3). Now if the player in seat 2 lays a draw two card, should this draw two bypass player 3 since they have lost a turn and player 1 has to draw? Or, should player 2 draw since their 'turn' wasn't happening when the draw 2 was laid?
I contend that the latter interpretation applies. I believe that this game consists of rounds where one player may play or draw and everyone else must sit out. In this case, I think that the draw two was played during player 1's turn and that all consequences of play on this round must be dealt before the next player's turn begins. In this case that would mean that during player 2's turn he would play the draw 2 and the next player would draw. This would complete action on player 1's round and then player two's turn would begin which they would then loose, moving back to player 1. Does this sound right? Any arguments for the other interpretation?
Thanks!
[edit] Common Variants
The "common variants" section is essentially all unattributed, unverified trivia. Although the title makes the claim that the variants are common, there is no assertion of this within the section, and Internet searches fail to come up with any good sources to back up the claim (mainly UNO fan web sites, etc.). So although it looks like a useful collection of information for the UNO player, I don't think it's appropriate for Wikipedia; see WP:NOT and WP:ATTRIBUTE. I decided to be bold here and removed it. --Andrew Robertson 06:33, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
The Rules Are Diffent With Other Versins Of The Game Incled These
[edit] New version
um... i like brought new uno cards (today lol from Big W) and the cards look totally different from the so called new english ones displayed... are those likely now middle english cards or something?Australian Jezza 08:09, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] House rule being mistaken for a real rule?
I saw this put into the article recently:
A player can place down more than one card if it is the same number/powercard at once. A draw 4 can be played after a draw 4 card is played.
I don't remember this being in the official rules. It sounds like a house rule. Can anyone confirm/deny this, or is this yet more "filth" that comes from the various morons browsing the internet?Manny Cav 00:15, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] "Up your Bucket"
Sounds like somebody has a game invented at home they wanted to post on here...at any rate, it's not verifiable. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.236.173.22 (talk) 15:40, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] External Links
I removed an instance of linkspam from the External links, but there are a lot more that are little more than advertising. In fact, I think all but the first one (linking to the official site) need to be removed. Comments? —BradV 15:30, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
