WILD CARD – When a Wild card is played, the
player may choose any color to continue the play,
including the one currently being played, if so
desired. A Wild card can be played at any time
– even if the player has another playable card in
the hand. After you play a Wild card, use SCROLL
RIGHT and SCROLL LEFT to toggle between
the different colors, and press ENTER when the
desired color is visible. If a Wild card is turned up
at the beginning of play, the person to the left of
the dealer determines the color, which continues
play.
WILD DRAW FOUR CARD – This is the best card
to have. The person who plays it chooses the
color that continues play. Also, the next player
has to draw 4 cards from the DRAW pile and miss
his/her turn. Unfortunately, the card can only
be played when the player holding it does not
have a card in his/her hand to match the color on
the DISCARD pile. If the player holds matching
numbers or Action Cards, however, the Wild Draw
Four card may be played. After you play a Wild
Draw Four card, use SCROLL RIGHT and SCROLL
LEFT to toggle between the different colors, and
press ENTER when the desired color is visible. If
this card is turned up at the beginning of play, it is
returned to the deck and another card replaces it.
LET’S BEGIN!
When you first purchase your game, it will be in
demo mode. To exit demo mode, press the RESET
button located on the back of the housing.
Press either UNO® or ENTER/PLAY to turn ON the
game.
Use the SCROLL LEFT/SCROLL RIGHT buttons to
choose a 2, 3, or 4 player game, and press ENTER
to confirm your selection.
Use the SCROLL LEFT/SCROLL RIGHT buttons
to select a level of difficulty, and press ENTER to
confirm your selection.
Once the game begins, you will know when it is
your turn when your player indicator (the circle
with the number 1) is quickly displaying all of the
different game colors.
When it is your turn, you can use the SCROLL
LEFT/SCROLL RIGHT buttons to scroll through
your cards. When you have highlighted (placed in
the center position) the card that you want to play
(See HOW TO PLAY and FUNCTIONS OF ACTION
CARDS), press ENTER/PLAY to move that card to
the DISCARD pile.
If you do not have a playable card, press DRAW/
HIGH SCORE to draw a card from the DRAW pile.
If the card is playable, press ENTER/PLAY to move
the card to the DISCARD pile. If the card is not
playable, it is your opponent’s turn.
In addition to being visually represented, the exact
number of cards in each player’s hand will be
displayed in his/her player indicator (circle with the
number 1, 2, 3, or 4).
When it is your turn, your current score will be
displayed in black in the center right-hand side of
the screen. When it is an opponent’s turn, this area
will display his/her score in red. At the end of each
round of play, the scores will be updated. Rounds
of play will continue until either you or an opponent
reaches 500 points and becomes the winner.
Keep playing and sharpening your skills, and in no
time you’ll be saying “UNO”!
SLEEP MODE
In order to conserve battery power, your game will
go to sleep if there is no activity (buttons pressed)
for one minute. Don’t worry! If you press either
UNO® or ENTER/PLAY, the unit will wake up, and
your game will be exactly where you left it!
