UNO/UNO Flip!

UNO Flip!, released in 2020, is a competitive variation of UNO that uses a double-sided deck and a special Flip card. One side plays like standard UNO, but the other side has tougher action cards.

The cards in an UNO Flip! deck have two sides: the light Mild Side with white numbers and symbols, and the dark Wild Side with black numbers and symbols. The Mild Side uses the standard UNO colours of red, blue, green and yellow, whilst the Wild Side uses pink, purple, orange and teal.

To begin the game a dealer is selected, shuffling the deck and dealing seven cards to each player. These cards must be dealt so that the players are looking at the Mild Side of their cards, and the Wild Side is facing their opponents. Then the draw pile is placed down Wild Side up, and a discard pile is started, Mild Side up.

The players must make sure all of the cards in their hand are facing the same way at all times - Mild with Mild and Wild with Wild.

The pre-2018 rules for starting action cards are applied in this game, with modifications for the different action cards.

This card replaces the Draw Two from standard UNO. It acts the same way, but the drawing player only draws one card. If turned up at the beginning of play the starting player draws one card and loses their turn.

Acts the same as in standard UNO. If turned up at the beginning of play the turn order immediately reverses - the dealer plays first, then play proceeds counterclockwise.

Acts the same as in standard UNO. If turned up at the beginning of play the starting player loses their turn and the following player plays.

Acts the same as in standard UNO. If turned up at the beginning of play the starting player selects the colour that begins play.

This card replaces the Wild Draw Four from standard UNO. It acts the same way, but the drawing player only draws two cards. Like with the Wild Draw Four, a Wild Draw Two may only be played if the player playing it does not have a card matching the colour of the card on top of the discard pile. If a player suspects a Wild Draw Two was played illegally they may challenge it - if the challenge succeeds the opponent must draw the two cards instead, but if it fails the challenger must draw the two cards plus two penalty cards, for four total.

When this card is played the players immediately turn their hands around so they are playing with the opposite side. The draw and discard piles are flipped to match. The new side will remain in play until another Flip card is played. If turned up at the beginning of play everything is immediately flipped so the Wild Side begins play.

When this card is played the next player in turn order must draw five cards from the draw pile and lose their turn.

Acts the same as on the Mild Side.

When this card is played every other player loses their turn and the player who played the Skip Everyone is allowed to play again.

Acts the same as on the Mild Side.

This card plays like a normal Wild, with the addition that after the player who played the card selects a colour, the next player must continously draw cards from the draw pile until they obtain a card of the selected colour, which they show to everyone else as proof. The drawing player must do this even if they already have a card of the selected colour. Then they lose their turn.

Like with a Wild Draw Two a Wild Draw Colour card can only be played if the player does not have a card matching the top of the discard pile. It can also be challenged - if the challenge succeeds the opponent draws the cards instead, and if it fails the challenger draws cards until they get a card of the specified colour, and two penalty cards after that.

Acts the same as on the Mild Side.

• If after a flip a Wild card appears on the top of the discard pile the next player in turn order selects the colour that continues play.

If playing for points, cards are scored as follows:
