Here are the full rules for playing UNO Flip:
Uno Flip Rules
The Deck
You’ll need a standard 108 or 112 card UNO deck to play. The cards are double-sided with different numbers, colors and actions on the top and bottom halves.
Dealing the Cards
Shuffle the deck thoroughly and deal 7 cards face-down to each player. Place the remaining deck face-down to form the draw pile. The player to the left of the dealer goes first.
Playing the Cards
On their turn, players must match either:
- The top half (number/color/action) of their card to the discard pile
- The bottom half of their card to the discard pile
- They then discard face-up and the next player goes.
Draw 2/4: Player draws 2/4 cards and misses their next turn, then discards either half of their new top card.
Wild/Skip
These cards function the same, allowing the player to choose the next color and skip their next turn.
Winning in Uno All Wild
The first player to run out of cards by matching either half wins. In the event of a tie, tied players draw until the highest card wins.
Tips:
• Study the cards in your hand and plan which halves you’ll match for future turns.
• Pay attention to which halves have already been played to maximize your strategy.
• Special cards like skips allow you to plan further ahead.
Conclusion
UNO Flip takes the classic UNO card game and elevates it to the next level by adding a layer of suspense, strategy and quick thinking. Players must constantly evaluate both sides of their cards and the discard pile in order to match the correct half on their turn. The uncertainty of which halves have already been played adds an element of suspense that keeps players on their toes.
While UNO Flip maintains the same fundamental rules as standard UNO, the double-sided cards require more planning, analysis and strategy to be the first player to run out. If you’re looking for a UNO variation that will keep your group engaged with more suspense and challenge, UNO Flip fits the bill perfectly.
FAQs
If I draw cards, do I have to match the top or bottom half of my new top card?
Yes. After drawing cards from misplaying (Draw 2/4) or using a Wild/Skip, you must match either the top or bottom half of whichever card is now your top card in hand.
Can you change halves in the middle of your turn?
No, you must decide which half (top or bottom) of your first card you will match based on the discard pile, and stick to matching that same half for the rest of your turn.
Can special cards like Skips be played on either half?
A: Yes. Special cards like Skips and Wilds can be played on either the top or bottom half of the card, since they don’t actually have to match the discard pile.
What if two players go out at the exact same time?
In the event of a tie, both players draw one card. Whoever then draws the highest value card is the declared the winner.
Are there any strategy tips for UNO Flip?
The primary strategy is to plan which halves you’ll match for future turns, study which halves have already been played, and try to save special cards like skips for when you have a good card to play either half of.
