One of the cool changes at the Hotlanta Collector Experience (coming up later this week!) is the switch from the traditional poker tournament to a more family friendly UNO Tournament! Making this move will definitely streamline the event and will make it more accessible to convention attendees of all ages!

Not sure how to play UNO? Here’s a quick refresher of the basics. The rules being used at the convention have been slightly tweaked so one UNO deck can be used per table. Please read them and, if you have a deck available, practice the game using these rules. The streamlined rules aren’t too far from the original game rules.

OBJECT:
To be the first player to win 5 rounds of UNO or the most rounds in 5 rounds. Each table will have a winner, who will go onto the next UNO round..Winners from Tables 1 to 5 and 6 to 10 will play in the Final Table round against each other, and the winner of the Final Table will be the DiecastSpace UNO champion.

HOW TO START:
Each player is dealt 5 cards(instead of the standard 7 cards) Afterwards, the top card of the DRAW pile is turned over, which starts the DISCARD pile.
The first player has to match the card in the DISCARD pile either by number, color or word.

For example, if the card is a red 7, player must throw down a red card or any color 7. Or the player can throw down a Wild Card. If player doesn’t have anything to match, he must pick a card from the DRAW pile, If player can use the drawn card, they can use it. If not, the next player goes next.

If you have one card left, you must yell “UNO”. Failure to do this, results in the player picking up two cards from the DRAW pile. They can play their drawn cards or next player plays.

The first player has no cards left, the round is over and is the winner for the round. First Player with 5 rounds won, or the most rounds won, is the winner for Table and goes to the Final Table Round. All the rest of the players leave and cant continue in the competition.

CHOOSING A DEALER:
Each player picks up a card. The player who picks the highest number deals. If you pick a “Word” card, this doesn’t count. Players with “Word” cards cannot redraw another card from the DRAW pile. The player to the left of the dealer starts the game.

CARD MEANINGS:

Reverse Card:
Simply reverse the direction of play.The play going from the left,now goes to the right and vice-a-versa.

Skip Card:
Player that is next after this card is played, has their turn skipped, and the next player from the left or right of them, plays next.

Wild Card:
The player using this card, can call out any color choice. This card can be used even if the player has another playable card in their hand.

Wild Draw Four Card:
The player that uses this card, calls the color of their choice, & the next player has to pick up four cards(4). The player can use any cards they picked up to discard, if not, their turn is down.

NOTE: The cards pictured are older, and newer cards may have updated designs, but the symbols remain relatively the same.
