UNO Extreme Rules & Cards

UNO Extreme is a variation of the classic UNO that comes with an electric card launcher that shoots cards randomly when players take turns. The game is much more interesting than regular UNO as the launcher is powered by lights and sounds that build over time. The UNO Extreme version is designed for 2 to 10 players and is suitable for ages 7 and above.

UNO Extreme Cards

The UNO Extreme deck includes 112 cards, which consist of 18 blue, green, red, and yellow cards numbered from 1 to 9. There are also 8 Hit 2 cards (2 in each color), 4 Reverse cards (2 in each color), 8 Skip cards (2 in each color), 8 Discard All cards (2 in each color), and 4 Wild cards. Additionally, there are 4 Wild Extreme Hit cards, 3 Wild Customizable cards, 1 Wild Hit 4 card, and 1 card launcher.

Components

The UNO Extreme components include 112 cards, a card launcher, a front cover for the launcher, and an instruction manual. Please note that the game requires 3 C-size alkaline batteries, which are not included in the package.

UNO Extreme Cards Meaning

The UNO Extreme has 112 cards, like regular UNO, where each card in the game has a specific meaning. Here is a brief overview of the different cards in the game:

• Numbered Cards: These cards are numbered from 1 to 9 and come in four different colors (blue, green, red, and yellow). To play them, players must match the color or number of the card on the discard pile.
• Reverse Card: This card reverses the direction of play when a player uses a reverse card.
• Skip Card: This card skips the next player’s turn when a player draws a skip card.
• Hit 2 Card: This card makes the next player hit the launcher button twice.
• Trade Hands Card: This card allows a player to trade their hand with another player.
• Discard All Card: This card lets you discard all cards of the same color as the last card on the discard pile.
• Wild Card: This card can be played on any card of any color when a player plays at the turn of play.
• Wild All Hit Card: The player who plays this card calls a color, and everyone else must hit the launcher button, except the player who played the card.
• Wild Extreme Hit Card: When this card is played, a player is eligible to call any color and then choose a player of his choice in the game to hit.
• Wild Customizable Card: A blank card on which players can write down a custom rule on this card.
• Wild Hit 4 Card: The next player must hit the button four times.

UNO Extreme Rules

UNO Extreme is a version of the Mattel card game UNO that includes a mechanical card launcher and lights and sounds. The UNO Extreme follows similar rules to the classic UNO game. Here are some additional rules specific to UNO Extreme:

• Swap Hands Card: A wild card that can be played on any other card. When played, the player picks an opponent to change hands with. If the opponent has only one card, the player must still say “UNO” or draw two cards.
• Custom Rule Wild Cards: Three blank cards are available before the game starts. Players can write down a custom rule on these cards and use them during gameplay.
• Action Ignored: If the first card flipped is a swap hand or customizable wild card, the action is ignored. The first player can then play any card on it.
• Attack Card: This card can make players discard one to five cards.

How to Play UNO Extreme

To play UNO Extreme, gather all players, sit together, and choose a dealer to shuffle and deal the cards. To set up the game, shuffle the deck of cards and place one card face up in the playing area to start the discard pile. Next, deal seven cards to each player, and put the remaining cards in the card launcher to form a draw pile. Load the card launcher with cards with the remaining cards and attach the front cover.

Starting the Round

The dealer gives each player seven cards, starts the discard pile, and loads the launcher. The round begins, and the person sitting next to the dealer goes first, plays a card, and the play continues clockwise.

Taking Turns

On each players turns, they must match a card from their hand with the card from the launcher card of the discard pile by color, number, or symbol. If any players can’t have a matching card to play, they must take a card from the draw pile.

Drawing and Playing Cards

Whenever a player draws a card, and it is playable, they can play it on the same turn, and the play passes to the next player. When a player has one card left in their hand, they must yell “UNO” before playing their last card. If they fail to do this and get caught by the other players, they will have to hit the Launcher button twice and take the cards from the Launcher.

Round Ending and Next Round

In the game, each round ends when one player has no cards left in their hand or one player discards all his cards. The player who goes out first scores points for the cards left in the other player’s hands, and counts scores by getting cards from all remaining players hands. The game rounds continue to play out until one player reaches 500 points.

Scoring and Winning the Game

In UNO Extreme, the player who can reach a score of 500 points first will win, and the players can gain points by holding cards from their opponent’s hands at the end of each round. The winner is the player who reaches 500 points before the others. 

However, it is also possible to keep a running total of the points that each player is caught with at the end of each round. In this case, the winner is the player who has the lowest points when one player reaches 500 points.

Scoring Points

The scoring points are: Numbered cards are worth their face value, and action cards (Reverse, Skip, Hit 2, Trade Hands, Discard All) are worth 20 points each. Wild cards are worth 50 points each, Wild Extreme Hit cards are worth 70 points each, and Wild Hit 4 cards are worth 100 points each.
