The UNO Reverse Card (Rules Memes, And Meaning)

The Reverse card in uno is a special action card that reverses the path of play. When a player plays the uno reverse card, they skip their turn and the direction of play continues in reverse. For instance, if the play is clockwise, it changes to counterclockwise forcing the next player to go in the opposite direction of the play.

Reverse Card In UNO

In the game of UNO, the Reverse card changes the direction of play. If play was going clockwise, it now goes counter-clockwise, and vice versa. You can only play a Reverse card on a matching color or another Reverse card. If a Reverse card is the first card to be turned up to start the game, the dealer begins, and play moves to their right.

UNO Reverse Card Rules

The official UNO rules state that a Reverse card switches the direction of play (e.g., from clockwise to counterclockwise or vice-versa). It can only be played on a card of the matching color or another Reverse card. In a 2-player game, a Reverse card functions like a Skip card, causing the other player to lose their turn. If a Reverse card is the first card flipped at the start of a game, the dealer goes first, and play moves to the right. 

Ultimate UNO Reverse Card

The ultimate uno reverse card is a humorous term used to describe a hypothetical card in the game of Uno that has the power to reflect any move to the opponent. For example, if someone insults you by saying, “You are ugly”, you can respond by saying “Pulls out ultimate uno reverse card”, mentioning that the person who said it is the ugly one. This term evolved from a definition in Urban Dictionary in 2018, and quickly gained popularity. It is sometimes also referred to as an “upgraded no u” or a “karmic event”.

UNO Reverse Card Ideas

Last card

If you play a reverse card as your last card, you don’t have to take another card and you win the game.

Playing a matching color

You can only play a reverse card on a matching color or another reverse card. 

Uno Reverse Card Meme

The Uno reverse card meme and concept are widely used in online culture and conversations. It is usually used playfully and humorously to indicate that someone’s statement, action, or accusation should be directed back at them. In simple terms, if someone says or does something to another person, that person can play the metaphorical “Uno reverse card” to turn the situation around and make the original statement or action apply to the first person instead. 

The trend of using the Uno reverse card meme started on May 10, 2018, when a user linked Uno to the “No U” meme. “No U” is an anagram of “Uno.” In the game of Uno, the reverse card changes the direction of the play. For instance, if the play is going to the left, the reverse card changes it to the right. The card can only be played in a matching color or on another reverse card.
