UNO Deluxe is an upgraded version of the classic UNO card game that has more cards and components than the standard deck. The idea is to get rid of all your cards first by matching their colors, numbers, or words. Players score points based on how many cards they have left, and the player with the most points wins.
UNO Deluxe Rules
UNO Deluxe comes with 1 UNO® Deluxe Storage Case with Score Board, 1 UNO® Deluxe Card Tray, 1 Erasable Marker, and 108 action cards to play the game. To play uno deluxe you need to be the first player to get rid of all of your cards by drawing all the cards from your hands first in each round and score points for the cards your opponents are left holding. Points are based on each round and the first player to reach 500 points first by playing all rounds wins.
Uno Deluxe Cards
Uno Deluxe Cards include a deck of 108 cards including number cards from 0 to 9 in 4 colors (red, green, blue, yellow), plus special action cards like Skip, Reverse, Draw Two, Wild, Wild Draw Four, and Point markers that are used to track points during gameplay include (Chips, coins, or paper) can be used in gameplay.
How to Play Uno Deluxe
To start playing, the uno deluxe first decides the player as a dealer you can change dealer in any round (if needed) and the dealer shuffles the cards and deals seven cards to each player and put down the remaining deck face down in the center. Turn the top card face up next to the deck – the discard pile begins. If the starter card is an action card (other than a Wild), return it to the deck and pick another card until you get a numbered card.
-->The starting player begins by matching a card from their hand to the discard pile, either by color or number. For example, if the discard pile has a blue 7, the player can play any blue card or any 7 in a different color.
- The play continues clockwise. Each player has to match the card in the discard pile by color or number. If they can’t play, they must draw a card from the deck.
- If a player draws from the deck, their turn ends immediately. However, if they play a card, their turn continues and they can keep playing additional cards as desired.
- Numbered cards are played by matching the color or number. Action cards like Skip, Reverse, and Draw Two have special effects in addition to matching the color.
- Wild cards can be played on any color, and the player declares a new color when playing it. The next player must match the new color.
- Wild Draw Four works just like a Wild, but the next player also has to draw 4 cards. A new color is declared by the player who put down the Wild Draw Four.
- If a player plays their second to last card, they must yell “Uno!” This rule is often overlooked, and failing to say Uno results in having to draw two extra cards.
- The first player to discard all his cards from his hand by matching them and yelling UNO loudly wins the round.
- After each round ends the points are counted from all player’ cards – numbered cards are worth their printed value, while action cards are worth a set amount:
- 20 points – Skip
- 20 points – Reverse
- 20 points – Draw Two
- 50 points – Wild
- 50 points – Wild Draw Four
- To start the next round, the player to the left of the dealer becomes the new dealer. Shuffle and redeals the cards.
