The UNO Flip Rules And Both Side Cards

UNO Flip is a card game by Mattel that offers two decks of cards (light and dark side cards) for the classic game UNO. In UNO Flip, players attempt to discard all their cards by matching colors or numbers on a deck that has two sides: a “light” side and a “dark” side. The game begins on the light side, but when a player plays a flip card, the entire deck and all cards in play are shifted over to the dark side.

How to Play UNO Flip

To play the game, select the dealer to shuffle the cards correctly and when the dealer shuffles all the cards correctly and distributes 7 cards to each player and he places all the remaining cards face down on the table in centre to form the draw pile. Always make sure all the cards are facing one way, whether the Dark or Light Side, depending on what side is in play at the moment; however, gameplay always begins on the Light Side.

  • The player with the highest number (Action cards count as zero) becomes the dealer. Since gameplay begins with the Light Side, hold the cards with the Light Side facing you while the outer Dark Side faces everyone else.
  • We place the deck down with the Light Side facing down (unseen) while the Dark Side facing up. This is the Draw pile. We then turn up the top card on the Draw pile and place it down to form a separate Discard pile. This first card will have its Light side facing up so everyone can see what it is.
  • The player to the dealer’s left usually begins first, and play goes clockwise until changed by a Reverse card.
  • Begin by matching the top most card on the Discard pile with a number, color, or symbol (Action cards) according to the side it is on (Light or Dark side).
  • And the play continues from dealers left side to next move on and all players draw cards by matching them and If any player cannot match any card from his hand with those on top of either pile, you must draw one card from either pile. If you can play that card, great! If not, your turn ends.
  • You must say “Uno” out loudly when you have only one card is left in your hand. And if any player forgot to yell UNO then he must draw two more cards from either pile as a panelty and the turns contines until any player draw all of his cards and say UNO and he wins the round and the secondly the last player who is not able to draw all of his cards loses the game.
