Gameplay

Uno is a video game that takes similarities to the card game of the same name. For the official rules, see the rules of the physical version.

Differences between versions

Xbox 360 version

The Xbox 360 version of the game offers three different game modes including Standard Uno, Partner Uno, and House Rules Uno. In Partner Uno, players sitting across from each other join forces to form a team, so that a win by either player is a win for the team. In House Rules Uno, the rules can be tweaked and customized to the player's preference.

The Xbox 360 version of Uno offers multiplayer for up to four players through Xbox Live. Players can join or drop-out of in-progress games at any time, with computer players automatically taking over for any missing humans. The game supports the Xbox Live Vision camera, allowing opponents to view an image of the player (or whatever the camera is pointed at) while playing the game.

Theme decks

The Xbox 360 version of Uno supports downloadable content through the Xbox Live Marketplace. This content takes the form of custom theme decks, which feature new visual appearances, sound effects, and game rules. Decks available for download from the Xbox Live Marketplace include:

• Project Gotham Racing Uno: In this deck, the cards feature pictures of the cars seen in the Project Gotham Racing series of video games. The rule changes include a card called the "Gotham Live" card, which is based on the replay feature in Project Gotham Racing 3. This card allows a player to look at the hand of any of the other players as well as functioning as a normal wild card.
• Kameo: Elements of Power Uno: A custom deck with artwork from Kameo: Elements of Power. In addition, a special play card allows a player to swap his or her entire hand with the hand of any other player in the game.
• Uno 35th Anniversary: A special deck made to celebrate the 35th Anniversary of the first edition of Uno released in the United States in 1971. In this deck, there are specialty "35" cards. If a "35" card is played, only a 3 or 5 of any color can be played.
• Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix: This deck commemorates the release of Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix, it only has one background and one music track. Additionally, a new card named "Hadouken" was added. When played, the targeted player must draw cards until they get a Skip or a Reverse card.

Gameloft versions

The iPod version by Gameloft features a 15-round progressive career mode that introduces and unlocks special rule changes as the player progresses through the game.[3]

The WiiWare version, as well as the DSiWare version, supported online play via the discontinued Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, as well as Wii Speak support in the WiiWare version.

Gameloft developed and published Uno & Friends in 2013 as an online experience on Facebook and other platforms. The game was discontinued in 2017.

Ubisoft version

The Ubisoft version of the game, which is available for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Microsoft Windows, Nintendo Switch, and Stadia, has two different modes; Standard Play, which is a standard four-player game of Uno; and a 2v2 Mode where one can partner up with another player. Both of these modes support online play. This version also has six different house rules that can be combined.
