Let's continue the tradition and play UNO, everybody is welcome:)
If you're on the waitlist please check your messages, especially on Sunday. If people drop off last minute I tend to message people on the waitlist to see who can come.
We'll be playing at the lobby of Radisson RED, Brussels. The address of the hotel is:
Rue d'Idalie 35, 1050 Bruxelles
My number is 0471 45 55 02. Feel free to call if you cannot solve a physics question, cannot find the place or simply need a hug.
I have quickly written a set of rules on how we play. It is assumed that the reader has a basic concept of the game.
***
Setup:
• Each player starts with 6 or 7 cards each (depending on total number of players)
• A card is shown in play in the middle of everyone, this is known as the top card.
Goal:
• The goal of the game for each player is to get rid of all cards in your hand
Rules:
• Whenever you go from two cards to one card, you have to say "UNO".
• Each player takes his turn one by one, initially going in the clock-wise direction
• A card may be played if it matches the same colour or same number or same type as the top card in play
• The two black cards (Draw 4 and Wild) can be played regardless of the top card in play.
• Interruption rule: You may interrupt the general flow of the game (clockwise or counter-clockwise) if you have the EXACT same card as the top card in play. If you manage to play the card prior to the person whose turn it's supposed to be, then the game continues on from you in the same direction it was previously. (Unless the reverse card was interrupted, then the direction changes).
• Draw2 or Draw4 cards can be played in accordance to the interruption rule. The following person after the interrupt has to take the accumulated number of cards. If however, cards have already been drawn AND seen by the person who was supposed to take the cards, then only the remainder of cards has to be drawn.
• Once someone has no cards remaining in his hand, play stops and we start counting points.
Points:
• Number cards have the face value as the number of points. i.e. number 6 is worth 6 points, number 0 is worth 0 points, number 4 is worth 4 points.
• Skip, reverse and Draw2 are worth 20 points each
• Wild and draw4 are worth 50 points each
