Nobody addressed the original comment. I don't think that one can say the current color when playing any wild card, but I don't know what the official rules are regarding this. 65.214.67.173 (talk) 04:41, 23 February 2016 (UTC)

This seems inconsistent with the rules as described. As far as I can tell, you can play any other blue card or a normal Wild card (if you have any) Nil Einne 13:58, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: This variant is played in Kazakhstan, but I have yet to see any justification for its being allowed.
Near the beginning of the RULES (4th para, I believe) it states, "The game of a person can only be ended by cards 0 to 9."  But later, listed as a Common Problem, it says, "When a person throws a draw four at the end of the game (his last card) and the next player throws a draw four on it, the first person does not pick any card his game is over."  Now, I've never heard that games must end with a number card, but if it's accurate, the person CAN'T throw a Draw 4 at the end of the game and therefore, this can't be a common problem.
However, if the game is allowed to end with any card and a person throws a Draw 4 to end the game, the game STOPS because the rules also say, "When a player has gone out, the other players count the values of the cards in their hands . . . "  That may only be interpereted as, "If a player's last card is a Draw 4, when that card touches the other played cards, all play ceases and the game is over.  The next player is neither required to draw 4 cards nor allowed to play his Draw 4.                                         
One last thing.  At the very end of the RULES is the statement, "If a 'Skip' card is out on play, the card is followed."  What is this supposed to mean?  Can anyone explain this a little better?   --TR Amnesia  — Preceding unsigned comment added by TR Amnesia (talk • contribs) 05:28, 18 February 2013 (UTC)

message: I believe there's also a variant where if one person plays a draw 2, the person after them can play a draw 2 and it contines until somebody doesn't have a draw 2 to play.
: I've played where a pickup card can be followed by another pickup card, with the pickup becoming cumulative. So for instance, Alice plays blue 2+, Bob plays red 2+, Charlie plays blue 2+, and Daisy, not having any 2+es, has to pick up six. We couldn't mix 2+ and 4+ cards though. Effect on strategy is everyone hoards pickup cards if possible, to use defensively.
I've also played where if you can't play, you must KEEP PICKING UP until you can! Leading to an unfortunate player having to pick up many cards on occasion. 131.111.245.195 (talk) 22:45, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: It is for 2 or more. The only difference is that Reverse cards act as Skip cards during 2-player matches, and (obviously) after a Draw 2/4 card play resumes with the player who just played that card. Satan's Rubber Duck 23:29, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

message: The "common variants" section is essentially all unattributed, unverified trivia. Although the title makes the claim that the variants are common, there is no assertion of this within the section, and Internet searches fail to come up with any good sources to back up the claim (mainly UNO fan web sites, etc.). So although it looks like a useful collection of information for the UNO player, I don't think it's appropriate for Wikipedia; see WP:NOT and WP:ATTRIBUTE.

message: There seems to be different ways of playing the game but there might not be a clear set way of playing. Here's my question: when you can't play a card, do you draw one and can't play it, does it becomes the next person's turn? Or do you have to keep drawing until you can play a card?

message: CHANGE the Uno Callout section under Penalties: 
(Before)- "If a player does not call "Uno" after laying down their next-to-last card and is caught before the next player in sequence takes a turn (i.e., plays a card from their hand, draws from the deck, or touches the discard pile), they must draw two cards as a penalty. If the player is not caught in time (subject to interpretation) or remembers to call "Uno" before being caught, they suffer no penalty. If a player falsely calls "Uno" while having multiple cards in their hand, they must draw two cards."
(After)- If a player does not call "Uno" before their second-to-last card touches the DISCARD pile and is caught before the next player in sequence Begins a turn, they must draw a two card penalty from the DRAW pile. If a player is not caught before the Beginning of the next turn in sequence, or remembers to call "Uno" before being caught, no penalty is applied. “Beginning a turn” is defined as either taking a card from the DRAW pile or drawing a card from your hand to play. 
ADD to the "Penalties" section:
*Players who make card-play suggestions to the other players must draw 2 cards from the DRAW pile. 
*If a player plays a wrong card and it is noticed by any of the other players, he/she must take the card back
and take 2 extra cards from the DRAW pile. Play continues with the next person in turn.

message: It would be good to mention in the article (or did I miss it already there?) that UNO could be played with two decks (preferably identical backs) of standard playing cards, including two Jokers from each deck, with the small, nondestructive modification that each Joker is marked as a particular "suit", and they are used for the "zero cards", and other cards serve (for example) as:
* Kings: Draw 2
* Red Queens: Wild
* Black Queens: Wild Draw 4
* Jacks: Skip
* 10s: Reverse

message: Add Olympic rules:
Olympic Rules:
The main difference is the use of 2 cards penalties for any mistake during the game. Otherwise the Olympic rules are a mix a different version of the official rules.
It uses the interception rule and let you then put 2 cards exactly the same as you are using the interception rule on yourself.
It uses the rule of 0 and 7 to trade your cards. 0 everyone trades with the following player, 7 with a player announced.
See below the details:
The aim of the game is to have the lowest score when one of the player's score reaches 500 points. Each rounds of play, the first player to discard his cards stops the round and all other player score points for the card still help in their hands.
Wild Card: you need to announce the color before releasing your hand from the card, otherwise you get a 2 cards penalty. It can't be intercepted.
Wild Draw 4 Card: It can't be played if the player has any other playable card. If challenged the number of card in game is 6. The color must be announced before releasing your hand from the card, otherwise you get a 2 cards penalty. It can't be intercepted.
Skip Card: They can be stack up to skip as many player as skip cards are stacked up. You can intercept this card hence stack them up.
Reverse Card: This card can be intercepted hence stacked up.
Draw 2 Card: the next player after drawing his/her card can play. and they can be intercepted so stacked up.
