Needed
Two to ten players; Uno Flip card deck, pen and paper for scorekeeping
Deal
Seven cards to each player, one card at a time. Place the remaining deck (draw pile) in the middle and flip over the top card to start the discard pile. Start each round by playing the light side of the cards.
Objective
The object of the game is to be the first player to get rid of all the cards in your hand each round. Cards that match the top discard in color or number can be played into the middle.
Special Cards
Light Side
Skip - When played, the next players turn is skipped. The Skip card can be played on a matching color discard or a previously played Skip. If a Skip is the first discard flipped, the player left of the dealer is skipped, and the next player begins play.
Reverse - When played, the direction of play is reversed. The Reverse card can be played on a matching color discard or a previously played Reverse. If a Reverse is the first discard flipped, the dealer begins play and play continues counter-clockwise.
Draw 1 - When played, the next player must draw one card and loses his/her turn to play. The Draw 1 card can be played on a matching color discard, or a previously played Draw 1. If a Draw 1 is the first discard, the player left of the dealer draws one card and loses his/her turn to play.
Wild Card - When played, the player of the card announces a color. The next player must play a card in the color that was announced. The Wild card can be played on any card. If a Wild is the first discard flipped, the player left of the dealer chooses a color to begin play.
Wild Draw 2 - When played, the player of the card announces a color. The next player must draw two cards and loses his/her turn. The next following player then must play a card in the color announced by the player of the Wild Draw 2. A Wild Draw 2 can be played on any card as long as the player cannot play a card in the matching color of the top discard. If a Wild Draw 2 is the first discard, bury the card back into the draw pile, and flip over the next top card.
Flip - When played, the side of the deck that is being played is flipped. The Flip card can be played on a matching colored discard. The discard pile is completely flipped. The draw deck is flipped. All players will flip the cards in hand, and play the opposite side.
Dark Side
Skip Everyone - When played, all players’ turns are skipped, and the player of the Skip Everyone card will get to play another card. The Skip Everyone card can be played on a matching color discard, or a previously played Skip Everyone card.
Reverse - When played, the direction of play is reversed. The Reverse card can be played on a matching color discard or a previously played Reverse.
Draw 5 - When played, the next player must draw five cards and loses his/her turn to play. The Draw 5 card can be played on a matching color discard, or a previously played Draw 5.
Wild Card - When played, the player of the card announces a color. The next player must play a card in the color that was announced. The Wild card can be played on any card.
Wild Draw Color - When played, the player of the card announces a color. The next player must draw cards until a card in the color announced is drawn. The drawing player loses his/her turn. The next following player then must play a card in the color announced by the player of the Wild Draw Color card. A Wild Draw 2 can be played on any card as long as the player cannot play a card in the matching color of the top discard.
Game Play
The player left of the dealer is first to play. A card can be played into the middle if it matches the top discard in color or number, or a special card can be played (see above). If a player cannot play, a card is drawn from the draw pile. If the card drawn can be played, the player can play it. If the card drawn cannot be played, play moves to the next player.
Uno Flip
Once a player is down to one card left, he/she must announce “Uno.” Uno should be announced as a player is playing his/her second to last card. If a player fails to announce Uno with only one card left, another player can catch it by calling Uno before the next player plays a card. If caught not saying Uno, the player with one card must draw two cards from the draw pile.
The first player to get rid of all his/her cards wins the round.
Score
The player that got rid of his/her cards first is awarded points based on the cards remaining in the other players’ hands. Only count the points on the side of the cards that were being played when the round ended.
- Cards 1-9: Face Value (i.e., a 5 is worth 5 points)
- Draw +1: 10 points each
- Skip / Reverse (light and dark) / Draw +5 / Flip (light and dark): 20 points each
- Skip Everyone: 30 points each
- Wild: 40 points each
- Wild Draw +2: 50 points each
- Wild Draw Color: 60 points each
The first player to 500 points wins the game.
Rule
If the draw pile runs out before a player wins the round, reshuffle the discard pile to make a new draw pile.
What is it:
Uno Flip (technically “UNO Flip!™”, but I get annoyed by products with exclamation points in their names) is basically the classic card game Uno, but with an additional deck of card faces printed on the back sides and an additional “flip” card that, when played, means everyone needs to literally turn their hands over and play the cards on the backs.
Uno itself is essentially Crazy Eights, a game played with a standard deck.
Who is it for:
Anyone who likes cards, and Uno specifically, will enjoy Uno Flip, it’s not more complicated than regular Uno but is much more dynamic because of the flipping feature.
What Kids Like:
It’s fun and fast. We’ve tried other card games (hearts, poker, go fish, etc.) but the kids found the games too boring or too complicated. Or at least, we could find a game that all ages could play together. We’ve even tried another Uno variant called, believe it or not, “Dos” which is also pretty good, but requires a little bit of math every time a card is laid down, which really slows down the action.
But Uno Flip is one that kids of all ages can play together, with or without adults. The rules are simple enough to get the hang of it without much effort but the action is fast enough to stay interesting.
What Parents Like:
Beyond basic numeral recognition, there’s not much in the way of mathematics education, but games like this have a lot to offer in terms of social dynamics. For example, if someone is close to winning, do you work together to team up against that player?
Games are quick, so when someone loses, there is another chance in just a few minutes. Everyone gets a chance to be a gracious winner or loser. And the nature of the game is that the first to lose their cards wins and leaves, but the rest continue play, so most players end up having the thrill of not losing.
And of course, having an alternative to video games and other screen-based entertainment is always welcome.
Also, this game is very portable and very tolerant of losing cards. Any Uno deck with a few cards missing is still perfectly playable. So it’s a good game to take in the car to grandma’s house or whatever.
What the Critics Think:

Concerns/Flaws:

From the Uno Wikipedia page
Uno Flip Points
The game was originally developed in 1971 by Merle Robbins in Reading, Ohio, a suburb of Cincinnati. When his family and friends began to play more and more, he spent $8,000 to have 5,000 copies of the game made. He sold it from his barbershop at first, and local businesses began to sell it as well. Robbins later sold the rights to UNO to a group of friends headed by Robert Tezak, a funeral parlor owner in Joliet, Illinois, for $50,000 plus royalties of 10 cents per game. Tezak formed International Games, Inc., to market UNO, with offices behind his funeral parlor. The games were produced by Lewis Saltzman of Saltzman Printers in Maywood, Illinois. In 1992, International Games became part of the Mattel family of companies.[3]
Uno has loads and loads of variants. I can’t tell when Flip was released, but I think sometime in 2019 or 2020.
