The Skip Card In UNO

The skip card in UNO is a special action card that skips the next player’s turn, and he/she loses his/her turn, and the game continues to further the next player, and so on. You can play a skip card on a color that matches or on another skip card. The Skip card is a special action card in the standard UNO deck that comes in all four colors e.g. Red, Blue, Green, and Yellow.

The Shape of Skip Card In UNO

The skip card in UNO symbolizes a circle with a diagonal line across it, which looks like a “forbidden sign” or a “no entry” sign. This symbol means when the player plays the skip card, the person who is next in turn will not get their chance to play and the game will proceed to the next player in turn.

UNO Skip Card Rules

When a player plays a skip card, they block the next player’s turn, and the game proceeds to the next player. The players can match the skip card with another skip card or any other card with a matching color. When a player stacks multiple skip cards, the number of players they skip is equal to how many skip cards they played.

For example, if a pair of Skip cards are played, the next two people in line are going to be passed over. However, some viewers consider that you can’t skip your own turn, which would usually mean that the person in line next to play the card is going to be skipped instead of the original person.

Aside from skipping players, skip cards can also be used to jump a penalty, and if someone plays a draw 2 card on you, you can play a skip card of the same color to pass the penalty to the next player. On top of that, drawing a card to reverse or skip cards left in an opponent’s hand is worth 20 points. When a skip card is laid out at the beginning of the game, the dealer goes first, and the play moves to the right instead of the left.
