Setup
The standard Uno deck has 108 cards:
- Shuffle the deck and deal 7 cards to each player.
- Place the rest face down as the draw pile.
- Flip the top card to start the discard pile.
How to Play
On your turn, play a card that matches the top of the discard pile by color, number, or symbol. You can also play a Wild card at any time.
If you can't play, draw one card. If it's playable, you may play it immediately.
When you have one card left, shout "UNO!" If caught not saying it, draw 2 cards.
