UNO Game Rules and Mechanics

This video tutorial explains how to play UNO, starting with the setup of the game, where each player receives seven cards, and the remaining cards form a draw pile. The objective is to be the first to discard all cards. Players take turns matching a card from their hand with the top card of the discard pile by color or number. Special cards can alter the game flow by skipping turns, reversing order, or forcing players to draw cards. Wildcards allow players to change the current color. The video also covers the rules for using the +4 wildcard and the bluffing aspect involved. The tutorial concludes by emphasizing the dynamic and engaging nature of UNO.
