What is the goal?
The goal of “Uno Flip” is similar to the classic “Uno” game: to be the first player to get rid of all your cards. However, “Uno Flip” introduces a unique twist with a double-sided deck. One side of the deck features a light side, which plays like the traditional Uno game, while the other side has a dark side with different action cards and harsher penalties.Uno Flip Game setup
Deal cards to each player
Light Side cards face one way and all Dark Side cards facing the other way Whoever draws the highest number is the dealer (symbol is treated as zero) Each player is dealt 7 cards. Light Side should faces you, and Dark Side faces your opponent.Form Draw and Discard Piles
- Put the remainder of the deck facedown to form a DRAW pile (the Dark Side cards will face up).
- Turn over the top card of the DRAW pile to start the DISCARD pile

On your turn, play a matching card onto discard pile
When playing the Light Side or the Dark Side, you must match a card from your hand with the DISCARD pile’s top card, either by number, color, or symbol (symbols represent Action Cards)Draw a card if you can’t play matching card
- Draw a card from the DRAW pile.
- Make sure they face the same direction as the other cards in your hand.
- Add new cards to your hand with the Light Side facing you, if on the Light Side.
- You can play the card you picked up on the same turn.
- If not, you turn ends and goes to the next player.
Choose to not play a playable card
- You can choose not to play a playable card from your hand.
- You must then draw a card from the DRAW pile.
- If a card is playable, it can be put down in the same turn, but you may not play any more cards from your hand after the draw.
Call ‘Uno’ when playing 2nd last card
- When playing 2nd last card, call “UNO” to indicate that you only have one card left.
- You must draw two cards if you do not call “UNO” and you are caught before the next player’s turn begins.
Playing your last card
- Round ends and scoring is done (see UNO FLIP scoring).
- New round begins again.
- If the last card played is a Draw One, Draw Five, Wild Draw Two, or Wild Draw Color, the next player must draw the one, five, two, or until they get a chosen color card. They are counted when the points are tallied.
How do you win?
Scoring Uno Flip Round
A player who gets rid of all of their cards in a round receives points for all of their opponents’ cards as follows: Score points based on which side (LIGHT OR DARK) the game ended on. All number cards (1-9) Face Value Draw One 10 Points Draw Five 20 Points Reverse 20 Points Skip 20 Points Skip Everyone 30 Points Flip 20 Points Wild 40 Points Wild Draw Two 50 Points Wild Draw Color 60 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.Winning in Uno Flip
Be the first player to reach 500 points.Alternative scoring and winning
Another way to score points is to keep a running tally of the points each player is left with at the end of each round. When one player reaches 500 points, the player with the lowest points is the winner.Drawing Cards when draw pile is depleted
After the DRAW pile is depleted, the DISCARD pile is reshuffled and play continues.Uno Flip Action Cards
Light Side
Draw One Card
- Next player draws one card and misses turn
- Card may only be played on a matching color or on another Draw One card.
- If turned up at the beginning of play, the same rule applies.
Reverse Card
- Reverses the direction of play
- Play only on a matching color or a Reverse card.
- When this card is turned up at the start of play, the dealer goes first, and then the game moves to the right.
Skip Card
- The next player loses their turn.
- Card can only be played on a matching color or on another Skip card.
- The player to the left of the dealer is “skipped” if a Skip card is turned up at the beginning of play.
Wild Card
When you play this card, you get to choose the color that continues play (including the color in play before the Wild card was laid down). Wild cards may be played on your turn even if you have another playable card. If a Wild card is dealt at the beginning of play, the person to the left of the dealer chooses the color.
Wild Draw 2 Card
This card lets you select the color that continues the game PLUS the next player has to draw two cards from the DRAW pile and loses their turn. But there’s a catch! This card can only be played if you do not have a card in your hand that matches the COLOR on the DISCARD pile (but it can be played if you have matching numbers or Action Cards). Pick a new card if this card was turned up at the start of play. You may challenge a player if you suspect that a Wild Draw 2 card was played on you illegally (i.e. the player has a matching card). If challenged, the player must show you their hand. They must draw your two cards if guilty. If the challenged player is innocent, you must draw the two cards and an additional two cards (4 total).
Flip Card
The Light Side flips to the Dark Side when you play this card. After the Flip card has been played, flip over the Discard Pile (the just played card will now be on the bottom), then the Draw Pile, then everyone’s hands must flip over. The new side will remain in play until another Flip card is played. Play this card only on a matching color or another Flip card.Dark Side
Draw Five Card
The next player must draw five cards and miss their turn if you play this card. Play only on an identical color or on another Draw Five card.
Reverse Card
This card reverses the direction of play (if it is currently on the left, it changes to the right, and vice versa). You can only play this card on a matching color or on another reverse card.
Skip Everyone Card
All players get skipped (lose their turn) when you play this card. It then goes back to the player who laid it down. Play this card only on a matching color or another Skip Everyone card.
Wild Card
Playing this card lets you choose the color that continues play (any color, including the color in play before it was laid down). Even if you have another playable card in your hand, you can play a Wild card.
Wild Draw Colour Card
Playing this card makes the next player draw until they get a color of your choice (regardless of how many cards it takes) and loses their turn. Note: It may only be played if you do not have another card in your hand that matches the COLOR of the DISCARD pile (but may be played if you have matching numbers or action cards). If you suspect a Wild Draw Color card has been played on you illegally (i.e. the player has a matching card), you may challenge them. That player must show you his/her hand. The challenged player must draw cards until he or she gets the chosen color, instead of you. If the challenged player is innocent, you must draw cards until you have the chosen color PLUS an additional 2 cards!
Flip Card
Playing this card flips everything from the Dark Side to the Light Side. After the Flip card has been played, flip over the Discard Pile (the card just played will now be on the bottom), then the Draw Pile, then everyone’s hands must flip. Until another Flip card is played, this new side will remain in play. A flip card may only be played on the same color or another flip card.Posts to check out
