UNO Flip Rules And Instructions

In Uno Flip, the game features 112 cards and has a double-sided deck, with a light and dark side. The light side plays like classic Uno, while the dark side has tougher penalties. The cards have different sets of colors, action and Wild cards, and number cards. The light side has milder action card effects, while the dark side has stronger effects.

The UNO flip rules are simple, each player starts with the Light Side, but whenever someone plays a FLIP card, the deck is flipped over and shifted to the Dark Side draw pile and now everyone must play the Dark Side of the cards and play continues.

• Deck: The deck has two sides, a light side and a dark side.
• Starting play: Shuffle all cards and give seven to each person, and the players start with the light side.
• Flip cards: Flip cards have an arrow icon and are in different colors on each side. When a player plays a Flip card, the deck and flips over the discard piles. All players must then play off the dark side.
• Action cards: The dark side has different action cards with stiffer penalties.
• Discard piles: After playing a flip card, flip the entire discard pile over so the card you just played is on the bottom of the stack, and flip over the draw pile to the other side.
• Hand turns: When you play a Flip card, all players must turn their hands around to play the other side of their cards.
• Playing cards: If a player draws a playable card, they can play it immediately or save it for later and if the card can’t be played, keep the card, and the game moves on to the next person in turn.
• Saying UNO: If a player has just one card, they must yell “UNO” before playing the card.
• Facing penalty: If another player catches a player not saying “UNO” before the next player plays their turn, that player must draw two cards as a penalty.
• Winning: The first person to empty his hands by playing his last card wins the round, the person with the most points when the game reaches 500 points wins the game, and if the draw pile runs out, the discard pile is reshuffled to make a new draw pile.

How To Play UNO Flip

To set the game, decide the dealer mixes all the cards properly and gives each person seven cards. The remaining cards go into the draw pile to make the discard pile. The person available next to the dealer starts the turn and plays a card by matching the cards with the top card from the draw pile by matching it with the color or symbols of the card.

When they play a flip a card it affects all the cards in the player’s hand, the draw pile, and the draw deck to flip over. The Dark Side of the deck has two Draw Five cards of each color, which require the next player to draw five cards from the top of the deck into their hand and lose their turn.

Taking Turns

In Uno Flip, players take turns in a clockwise order. On your turn, you can play a card from your hand if it matches the top card of the discard pile in color, number, or symbol. If any person doesn’t have a match, he must draw a card from the draw pile, and your turn ends.

Using Cards

The first person starts playing with the light side of the deck, and when someone plays a flip card, the deck is flipped over, and everyone must play off the dark side of the cards. The dark side has different action cards with stiffer penalties. For example, the dark side has a draw five card instead of a draw one card, and a skip everyone card instead of a skip card. You must continue playing with the dark side until another flip card is played.

The Flip card flips everything from the light side to the dark side. After playing the Flip card, you should flip over the discard pile, then the draw pile, and then everyone’s hands must flip to the other side. The goal is to be the first player to play all the cards in their hand.
