To set up the game, shuffle the deck and deal 7 cards to each player. Place the remaining cards face down to form the draw pile. Turn the top card of the draw pile over to start the discard pile.
The Happy Birthday version includes special birthday-themed action cards. Players must follow the instructions on these cards when played. The specifics can be found in the included rulebook.
While the game is traditionally designed for 2-10 players, you can accommodate more by combining decks or ensuring that all players understand the extended rules for large groups.
If the draw pile runs out, shuffle the discard pile (without the top card) to form a new draw pile. Continue playing with the newly shuffled cards.
If a card is lost or damaged, you can continue playing by making a temporary replacement with a placeholder card or removing the matching card from another deck if available.
To maintain the cards, keep them in a dry place and avoid exposure to liquids. Consider using card sleeves for added protection. Clean gently with a soft, dry cloth if needed.
If a player plays an incorrect card, they must take back the card and draw an additional card from the draw pile as a penalty. The game then continues with the correct player's turn.
While there are no official tournament rules specific to the Happy Birthday edition, standard UNO tournament rules can be adapted. These include time limits and specific scoring methods.
If there is a disagreement on the rules, refer to the official rulebook included with the game. It is also helpful to agree on any house rules before starting the game.
Store the card game in its original box or a suitable container to protect it from dust and moisture. Keeping it in a cool, dry place will help preserve the cards over time.
