UNO Attack Card Game

UNO Attack is a variation of the classic UNO that comes with a mechanical card launcher that holds the cards and shots them randomly when the player presses the button. The gameplay is very challenging/exciting due to random cards released by card launcher. To play the game, players match the cards with the top car on the discard pile and try to be the first one to discard all their cards. The round ends when anyone players plays all his cards or discard all his cards first and the player with the lowest points at the end of the entire game is the winner.

Dealing & Playing

The dealer deals seven cards to each player and starts the discard pile with one card. Place one card from the deck on the playing area to begin the discard pile, then place the remaining cards into the card launcher. Turn on the card launcher and make sure it always faces the player who is playing.

The first player to the left of the dealer starts the game by taking a card from the launcher and matching it with the top card face down in the remaining card pile, either by its color number or action on it. The goal to win the round is to be the first to empty your hand before anyone, else.

Taking Turns & Going Out

Players take turns matching the card on the top of the discard pile with the cards in their hands by color, number, or word. If a player is unable to make a match, they must press the button on the card launcher to see if any cards shoot out, and if they do, the play proceeds; otherwise, press the button again.

When a player has one card left, they have to yell “UNO” to show that they are playing their last card. If they did not yell and play a card, and another player caught them doing so, it could result in penalties. The round ends when a player runs out of cards and calculates the points of remaining cards in other players hands. These points are the winning player points and are added up after each round ends to decide the final winner after reaching 500 points.

Challenging

Players can challenge each other if they suspect an opponent has failed to yell “UNO” when down to one card. If the challenged player is caught without saying “UNO,” they must press the Launcher button twice as a penalty and get those cards from it.

Scoring and Points

After a round ends, points are allocated based on the cards remaining in the remaining players’ hands. The winner will take all the players’ cards and count their points to add to his total.

All cards from 0 to 9 contain Face Value
Reverse card contains 20 Points

Winning

The game continues with multiple rounds, and the first player who plays all his cards first at the end of each round wins. The next round begins and game continues until a player reaches 500 points. Alternatively, the game may be scored by keeping track of how many points each player gets at the end of each hand. When one player reaches 500 points, the player with the fewest points wins the game.
