The Skip Card In UNO

In the UNO card game, a skip card makes the next player miss their opportunity to play. You can play a skip card on a color that matches or on another skip card. A Skip card is a special action card in the standard Uno deck that comes in all four colors: Red, Blue, Green, and Yellow. When this card is displayed, the next person in line to play following this card is out of their turn.

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 that the person who is next in line to play will not get their chance after playing skip card.

UNO Skip Card Rules

In UNO, you can make the next player miss their turn by using a skip card. You can also use a skip card with a matching color or another skip card. When you stack multiple skip cards, the number of players skipped is equal to the number of skip cards played.

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. 

If a Skip card is “stacked,” the number of Skip cards that are “skipped” will specify how many players are skipped. 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.

Can you stack skips in Uno?

Maybe Not, according to the official rules of Uno, you cannot stack Skip cards. However, you can define house rules for stacking skip cards in uno plays. You can also put Skip cards on top of Draw 2 or Draw 4 cards. Both cards have their normal effects, but have the separate benefit of passing the draw 2 combos to the next person.

When playing the game, participants use the Skip card to skip the next player’s turn. However, if players play multiple Skip cards one after the other, they do not stack to skip multiple players, each Skip card only affects the very next player in line to play.
