Uno Spin
Uno Spin is a variation of the popular Mattel card game Uno, with a wheel. Unlike in Uno, there is a "spin" card, which allows you to spin the wheel provided in the box. The game marketing uses the slogan "The next revolution of the classic card game."
The Spinner
When a player plays a "spin" card, the next player must spin the provided wheel, instead of taking a normal turn, which holds the "draw" and "discard" deck. There is no rule that tells the player which way to spin the wheel, although spinning the wheel clockwise is preferred by seasoned players.
Spin Areas[1]
The list goes in clockwise direction, arrow pointing at 6 o'clock or south.
- Uno Spin
- All players must try to shout "Uno Spin" first. The player who shouts first gets to discard only one card
- Discard Colour (shown as green cards on the spinner)
- The player should discard all cards of the same colour, no matter which colour, on the discard pile. Even if the player only has one card left, they win. Although not specifically stated in the official rules, in this instance, wildcards may not be discarded. It has become known as the "Bob Rule".[2]
- Draw Blue
- The player should draw as many cards as necessary until a blue card or wild card is drawn. You may not discard the blue in any situation.
- Draw Red
- The player should draw as many cards as necessary until a red card or wild card is drawn. You may not discard the red in any situation.
- War
- Players have to place their highest card to win. If two or more players have shown the same card, they must show their second highest card. The person who shows the highest card may put it down no matter what card is on the discard pile.
- Discard Number (shown as # on the spinner)
- The player should discard all cards of the same number, no matter which number shown, on the discard pile.
- Show hand
- The player must show their hand to the other players.
- Trade hands
- Players must trade their hand to the left once.
- Almost "Uno"
- The player must discard all but two cards, regardless of colour and number shown, on the discard pile.
The spin cards have white patches on the number. Spin cards are only from number cards 1 to 5. Uno Spin rules are slightly different than the original. This version is very unpredictable and it is easy to come back from behind.
