How to play Uno Spin – What are the Uno Spin Rules?
To start an Uno Spin game, you need to place the wheel on the table and then deal 7 cards to each player. With the remaining cards, you create the draw pile, which is placed on one side of the arrow. On the other side of the arrow, you start building the discard pile by flipping the top card of the draw pile open.
Make sure to have the wheel reference card in a handy place. You might need it to remember what each symbol of the wheel means.
The game can begin:
- The player to the left of the dealer starts playing
- The discard pile card can be matched by color or number
- If the card played has a swirling pattern, it is a Spin card
- Spin cards can be played like regular number cards and according to their color
- If a Spin card is played, the next player must spin the wheel
- Spinning the wheel takes the place of the next player’s turn
- When you spin the wheel, you must accept the action as indicated by the arrow
Uno Spin directions for the wheel
Uno Spin games are all about the Uno Spin cards because these will start the action and the fun. So, let’s have a look at the Uno Spin wheel and the actions the arrow can land on.
The Uno Spin actions
Uno Spin
The first player to shout “Uno Spin” gets to discard one card from their hand.
Discard number
Here you get to discard as many cards of one number as you can and want to get rid of. Perhaps go for higher numbers if you see that another player is about to win the game. That would limit the points the player will score from your hand.
Discard color
When the arrow points to the action for discarding color, you pick any number of cards of the same color from your hand as you want to get rid of.
Almost Uno
If the arrow points to this action, you need to discard all of the cards on your hand except for 2 cards. Now, you have almost reached Uno. If you can discard one of the cards by the next round, it is time to shout Uno and then hopefully win the game.
Draw red
If you get the action Draw red, you have to draw cards from the draw pile until you hit red. A Wild card will also work since this card lets you decide on the color.
Draw blue
This is the same action as Draw red, only you need to draw cards from the draw pile till you hit a blue card or a Wild card.
Trade hands
This action means that all players in the game have to trade hands. This is done by each player passing their hand to the player sitting to their left. If you are given a hand with only one card, you must yell Uno. If you forget to do so, you must draw 2 new cards from the draw pile.
Show hand
If you get this action on the wheel, you have to show your hand to all other players. This will give your opponent an upper hand since they will know what colors and numbers you prefer on the discard pile.
War
The War action on the wheel demands that each player selects the highest numbered card on their hand and places it on the table. It can be a card of any color. The player with the highest number discards that card. The other players return their cards to their hands.
If there is a tie between players, the tied players will show their second-highest number on hand. This continues till there is one winner of the war. That winner will discard his cards on the discard pile. Other players return their cards to their hands.
After a war, the play continues to the next player after the winner of the war. This is according to the current direction of the play.
Uno Spin
When the wheel stops at Uno Spin, you must hurry to yell Uno Spin! The first player to yell Uno Spin gets to discard a card of choice from their hand. After this, play continues to the next player after the player that won the Uno Spin challenge.
A few points to remember
If the wheel causes you to discard all of your cards, you get to decide which Uno Spin card you will place on top. This means that you can be more specific with what will happen to the next player’s turn. Remember that you still have the regular action cards like Skip, Reverse, and Wild.
