UNO Mattel USA DHT61 Card Game F.A.Q.

How do you set up and start a game of UNO?

To start a game of UNO, shuffle the deck and deal 7 cards to each player. Place the remaining cards face down to form a draw pile. Turn over the top card to start the discard pile. The player to the left of the dealer begins, and gameplay follows in a clockwise direction.

What are the rules for using Wild cards in UNO?

A Wild card allows the player to change the current color being played. It can be placed on any card, and the player declares the new color. A Wild Draw Four card also changes the color but forces the next player to draw four cards, provided the player using it has no other playable cards.

What should you do if the draw pile is exhausted during play?

If the draw pile is exhausted, shuffle the discard pile to form a new draw pile and continue the game. Make sure to leave the top card of the discard pile in place to maintain the current color and number.

How do you win a game of UNO?

To win a game of UNO, be the first player to score 500 points. Points are scored by discarding all your cards first and adding up the value of cards remaining in other players' hands.

What is the penalty for forgetting to say "UNO"?

If you have one card left and forget to say "UNO," another player can call you out. If caught before the next player starts their turn, you must draw two cards as a penalty.

Can UNO be played with teams?

Yes, UNO can be adapted for team play. Teams can sit alternately around the table, and team members can strategize together to help each other win. The standard rules apply, with the objective being for a team member to discard all cards first.

What should you do if a card is damaged or missing?

If a card is damaged or missing, you can continue play by substituting it with a placeholder card until a replacement is available or contact Mattel customer service for assistance with replacements.

How do you clean and maintain UNO cards?

To clean UNO cards, wipe them gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or soaking the cards in water. Store the cards in a cool, dry place to prevent damage.

Can children of all ages play UNO?

UNO is recommended for players aged 7 and up due to the reading and strategic thinking required. Younger children may play with adult assistance or simplified rules.

What is the purpose of the Reverse card in UNO?

The Reverse card changes the direction of play. If the play was moving clockwise, it switches to counterclockwise, and vice versa. It can be played on a matching color or another Reverse card.
