The rules

Goal

  • Everyone gets seven cards. The first to empty their hand wins.

Your turn

  • Play a card of the same colour or symbol as the top one, or a wild card. Otherwise, draw: if the card fits, you can play it.

Special cards

  • Skip, reverse, +2: the next player pays the price. The wild card changes the colour; so does the +4, which also makes them draw four cards.
  • In Stacking (the default mode), +2s and +4s pile up: the first player who can’t follow draws them all.
  • In Classic, nothing stacks, and a +4 can only be played with no card of the requested colour: the next player can challenge. Proven cheat, the player draws 4; otherwise the challenger draws 6.

Tips

  • Keep your wild cards for the end: they go on any card.
  • Switch to the colour you hold the most cards in.
  • Watch whoever has only two cards left: it’s the moment to hit them with a +2.

Game modes

Stacking
+2s and +4s stack: the first one who can't follow draws them all.
