How does your family play Uno?

[GollyImGully]

it has gotten to the point where my entire family refuses to play with me because they feel like im cheating

My rules are pretty savage I'll admit - very cutthroat style of play.

• You can play unlimited amount of cards on your turn showing the same number/symbol e.g. green 2, yellow 2, two blue 2s etc. or skips and reverses
• You can stack skips and reverses
• You can STEAL a turn - this means whatever the top card on the pile is, if ANY player (even if it's not their natural turn) has the EXACT SAME CARD as the one on the pile, they can play it on top and intercept the natural flow; the player after the stealer then gets to resume the game
• If you don't call UNO and someone calls you out on it before the next player plays their card, you pick up the entire pile; however, we have to be reasonable with the time allowed for the player to call UNO (like 1 second give or take) - the successful caller then plays his turn
• If someone thinks you forgot to call UNO and wrongfully calls you out on it, they will pick up the entire pile - you can then play your turn
• You can stack all black plus cards i.e. +4 and +2 (I have a waterproof set out cards that even has a +1) - they all add up under the same system
• You can stack all +2s of various colours (even a single player can put down +2 green then +2 red and make the other player have to pick up 4 cards unless he can continue to stack the chain with a +2 coloured card of his own
• Not sure if this is an official rule but if you pick up a card from the deck because you don't have anything to play, you cannot put it down that same round unless it is a STEAL card (i.e. the exact same card as the card on top of the pile)
  
• You can finish a game with multiple cards (e.g. you have two cards and they are a blue 2 and a yellow 2. Top of the pile is a blue 6. You put the blue 2 first, call UNO and immediately put down the yellow 2 to finish the game)
• If you are gonna place 2+ cards down, they must be done one at a time. This allows a player to intercept with a steal card if the opportunity presents itself.
• You cannot end the game on a black plus card - you can end the game on any individual yellow, blue, green or red card

NOTE: black plus cards and the +2 coloured cards have their own stacking system - they CANNOT be combined

Those are the rules off the top. Makes for a fast-paced game and strategy that slightly reduces the luck factor slightly if you're switched on enough. Plus it's aggressive and pisses people off.

How do you 'stack' Skips and Reverses?​

If I play a Skip, that just skips the next person in the cypher. A Reverse just changes the direction of play. In neither case can I put ANOTHER Skip or Reverse on top of the one I just played BECAUSE IT AIN'T MY TURN ANYMORE.

Now, if the player who's turn it actually is chooses to put a Skip or Reverse on the one I played, that's fair. Same with Draw 2/Draw 4 cards. Once you play it, your turn's over but the next player can play their own to avoid getting MAD cards.​

In the case of my rules, since we can stack them, then here's an example.

Four people playing. If I put down a yellow skip and then a red skip, I'm skipping the person after me and the person after that. Matter of fact, if I had one more skip I would have skipped everyone succeeding me and I'd play again.



With reverse, just depends on whether it's an odd or even number of reverses to determine whether we are going clockwise or anti-clockwise - the idea is just to shed as many cards as possible from your deck in the quickest amount of time.

Doesn't necessarily make sense as you broke it down above but house rules

I change rules when im losing

Same and I dare someone to make me mad when I'm playing lol...

how do you still drop cards after calling uno? what the fukk is that?

People fell in love with the rules for 2 players and have been forcing those into 3+ player games ever since.

When you draw you lose your turn, that's basic

 

[Sterling Archer]

Reverse is only a skip if its just two people. Other than that, when you play a reverse, its not your play anymore or the person who was next.
If I stack draw cards on you (say 6), if one of those carsd you drew is a draw card, you cant play that card until you have drawn all 6. AND, you cant stack that Draw card onto my stack I did to you *I make you draw 6, on your 3rd card, you pull a draw, and try to play it to make me draw 8*
I'll smack yo ass for trying that dumb shyt.
Also, you draw until you can drop with me. Its not draw 1 if you dont have anything and it goes to next person. Because I know enough people play either way, this is usually the first thing I establish. That, and stacking. If you dont stack in Uno, why the fukk are you even playing honestly.
