UNO Reveals You Don't Have To Yell 'Uno Out' When You Play Your Last Card

UNO Reveals You Don't Have To Yell 'Uno Out' When You Play Your Last Card

Whenever you play the game UNO, most people are aware of the rules.

But it seems like those rules have been forgotten by some because the company that created the iconic card game keeps having to remind users who are in a fight with their mate.

The latest revision comes when you're on your last card.

Everyone knows that when you place that final card, you're meant to yell 'UNO Out' - or at least everyone thought they knew that rule.

One bloke put it out to social media to back him up, asking on Twitter: "Do you have to say uno out when you play your last card in @realUNOgame??? Heated debate rn wit the fam."

After more than 55,000 votes, the Yes side won with nearly 62 per cent of the ballot. However, UNO has stepped in to reveal that the majority of people are, in fact, wrong.

The company said: "While calling 'UNO Out' when you play your last card is a popular House Rule, it's not required."

The reaction was divisive to say the least.

One person on Twitter wrote: "We keep telling Uno that they make the cards but not the rules."

Another added: "You always do this. It's like you enjoy getting dragged."

A third said: "When y'all gonna realise that nobody asked for your opinion??"

UNO also confirmed that you still have to yell out 'UNO' when you play your second last card. If you don't do that and someone calls you out on it then you have to pick up another card.

The company caused a similar uproar when it revealed that you can't stack +2 cards on top of each other.

Yup, according to the official Twitter account belonging to the interminable game, it's against the rules to stack a +2 on top of a +2. Who knew?

So, to break that down a bit, what ought to happen when you play a +2 is that the next person draws two cards and then skips their go - got it?

Stacking would mean the next player could also play a +2 card, avoiding having to draw the cards and forcing the player after them to draw four cards and miss their turn if they can't add another +2 to the pile.

Now, while the tweet was been 'liked' more than 13,000 times, it's fair to say not everyone is happy and plenty of social media users hit back after finding out they've been playing the game wrong all this time.
