Creator of UNO has said we are all playing the game wrong in shocking twist

Creator of UNO has said we are all playing the game wrong in shocking twist

They might have created UNO but they're damn wrong about the rules

Hopefully it's not talking out of turn to say that the creator of UNO is catastrophically wrong about how their own game ought to be played.

If you've ever played UNO, then you'll know there are few games more likely to ruin friendships and remind you why you barely see your family for most of the year.

It's all fun and games until someone hits you with the +4 card or forces you to skip your turn and for the briefest of moments you realise what true hatred feels like.

Your only solace is if you have a card of your own to stack on top of it and then pass the burden onto someone else, which only backfires if everyone else in the game has the same and you're stuck holding the hottest of hot potatoes.

However, UNO themselves have declared that isn't how the game goes, which is just a steaming pile of bulls**t.


Are you seeing this? Someone throws a dastardly +4 card your way and you can't stack something on top of it.

According to the gods of UNO your only option is to eat s**t and take the +4 punishment while also losing out on your turn, making that card the ultimate friendship ender.

UNO enthusiasts wanted to know if there was any way out of this, and the unforgiving arbiters of the rules declared that there wasn't.

Apparently you can't stack a +4 on a +4, you can't stack a +2 on a +4 and you can't even stack a +2 on a +2 - which is a huge drawback.

This is cobblers, there's a reason people invented those house rules. (X)

On the other hand, fans of the UNO mobile game pointed out that things work a bit differently over there because they've incorporated the most popular house rules.

In essence, pretty much everyone stacks +2 cards on each other and plenty of them will also have rules about stacking a +4 on top of a +4 because that's just a better way to play the game.

You could just say you're playing by the mobile game rules instead of those for the physical card game and that would probably sort a lot of things out, but it's a major miss that the creator of UNO did not allow card stacking.

For some reason, the success of the Barbie movie sparked claims that Mattel was considering launching a movie based off UNO, though quite how such a thing would work is hard to fathom.

It is functionally a game about chucking cards on the table and remembering to say 'uno' when you're down to your last card, as well as building up seething resentment from players you hit with the +4 card you picked up a while back.
