If placed face up at the beginning of play, this card skips the first player to the left of the dealer.
If playing heads up then this card simply skips your opponent. If this card is placed face up at the beginning of play, then the play is reversed and the dealer goes first. If play was moving right, then now it is moving left. This will reverse the direction of play originating from the person who played the card. If playing heads up, this card also skips your opponent in addition to its normal effect. If turned up as the first card in play, then the first person to play also draws 2 cards. If you are playing heads up (two players) then this card also skips your opponent. This card forces the next player to draw 2 cards. There are 108 cards in total, 4 colors and 19 cards in each color (0 to 9), 24 action cards, and 8 wild cards. If the draw pile ever runs out of cards then the discard pile, minus the top card, is shuffled and turned back over to replenish the draw pile. Play continues until one player runs out of cards thus ending the round. They may play the card they drew, but may not play a card from their hand after drawing a card in this way. The only cards that are not required to match to be played are Wild and Wild Draw 4 cards.Ī player may choose not to play a card and to draw a card instead. A green three placed upon a green five is also a legal play. Likewise a yellow draw two and a blue draw two may be played on top of each other. For example, a blue two may be placed upon a yellow two. Matching is defined as placing a card of the same color or number on top of the top card of the discard pile. He can play the newly drawn card if able, but the turn ends whether he plays the card or not. The player on the left of the dealer starts the round by matching a card in his hand by color or number with the top card on the discard pile. Take the top card from the draw pile and place it face up to begin a discard pile. The cards are reshuffled back into the deck and each player is dealt seven cards, with the remaining cards placed face down to form a draw pile. Highest value card wins dealer (yay?), but all action cards are valued at 0 for this phase of the game. The game starts by having every player draw a single card.
