How to play the Uno :
First, one of the players deals each player 7 cards. The rest of the cards are used as a draw pile. The player who dealt the first card from the deck turns over the first card and the player to the left starts the game. The player on the left must cover the card in the deck with a card of the same color, number or symbol. If the player cannot play, he has the option to put down a "wild card" or "+4" card. If the player does not have any of these cards, he must draw one. If the card is playable, the player can put it down directly, if not, he must keep it in his hand.
When a player has only one card left in his possession, he must shout " Uno " to warn all the other players. If he forgets to do so and a player notices, he will have to draw 2 cards as a penalty.
The first player to get rid of all his cards wins. You must then count the points:
- Numbered cards are counted according to their value.
- The "+2" card is worth 20 points.
- The "Reverse" card is worth 20 points.
- The "Pass your turn" card is worth 20 points.
- The "Joker" card is worth 50 points.
- The "+4" card is worth 50 points.
