How do you win?

Going Out & Yelling “UNO!”

When you play your next-to-last card, you must yell “UNO!” (meaning “one”) to indicate that you have only one card left. If you don’t yell “UNO!” and you are caught before the next player begins their turn, you must draw 2 cards.

Once a player has no cards left, the round is over. Points are scored (see SCORING) and play starts over again.

If no player is out of cards by the time the DRAW pile is depleted, the DISCARD pile is reshuffled and play continues.

Scoring in UNO Blast

The first player to get rid of their cards in a round receives points for all of the cards left in
their opponents’ hands as follows:

All number cards (1-9-.Face Value
Draw One – 20 Points
Discard Color – 20 Points
Reverse – 20 Points
Skip – 20 Points
Wild. – 50 Points
Wild Blast – 50 Points

Once the score for the round has been tallied, if no player has reached 500 points, reshuffle the cards and begin a new round.

Uno Blast Action Cards

Draw One Card – When you play this card, the next player must draw 1
card and place it in the Card Blaster! This counts as their turn.

Discard Color Card – When you play this card, you may discard all
cards of that color in your hand (i.e. if you play a blue Discard Color card,
you may discard all of your blue cards). The card you place on the top of
the DISCARD pile continues play

Reverse Card – When you play this card, the direction of play reverses (if
play is currently to the left, then play changes to the right, and vice versa).
