Object of the Game

Be the first player to get rid of all of your cards in each round and score points for the cards your
opponents are left holding. Points in rounds accumulate and the first player to reach 500 points
wins.

Setup

1. Each player draws a card; the player that draws the highest number deals (count any card with a
symbol as zero).

2. The dealer shuffles and deals each player 7 cards.

3. Place the remainder of the deck facedown to form a DRAW pile.

4. The top card of the DRAW pile is turned over to begin a DISCARD pile. NOTE: If any of the Action
Cards (symbols) are turned over to start the DISCARD pile, see FUNCTIONS OF ACTION CARDS
for special instructions.

Let’s Play

The person to the left of the dealer starts play.
On your turn, you must match a card from your hand to the card on the top of the DISCARD pile,

either by number, color or symbol (symbols represent Action Cards; see FUNCTIONS OF ACTION
CARDS).

EXAMPLE: If the card on the DISCARD pile is a red 7, the player must put down a red card OR any
color 7. Alternatively, the player can put down a Wild card (See FUNCTIONS OF ACTION CARDS).

If you don’t have a card that matches the one on the DISCARD pile, you must take a card from the
DRAW pile. If the card you picked up can be played, you are free to put it down in the same turn.
Otherwise, play moves on to the next person in turn.

You may also choose NOT to play a playable card from your hand. If so, you must draw a card from
the DRAW pile. If playable, that card can be put down in the same turn, however you may not play
any other card from your hand after the draw.

Draw Two card. If turned up at the beginning of play, the same rule applies.

Reverse Card – When you play this card, the direction of play reverses (if play is

currently to the left, then play changes to the right, and vice versa). This card may
only be played on a matching color or on another Reverse card. If this card is
turned up at the beginning of play, the dealer goes first, then play moves to the
right instead of the left.

Skip Card – When you play this card, the next player is “skipped” (loses their turn).

Wild Card – When you play this card, you get to choose the color that continues

Wild Draw 4 Card – When you play this card, you get to choose the color that

NOTE: If you suspect that a Wild Draw 4 card has been played on you illegally (i.e. the player

has a matching card), then you may challenge that player. The challenged player must show you
(the challenger) their hand. If guilty, the challenged player must draw the 4 cards instead of you.
However, if the challenged player is innocent, you must draw the 4 cards PLUS an additional 2
cards (6 total)!

may play a Wild card on your turn even if you have another playable card in your
hand. If a Wild card is turned up at the beginning of play, the person to the left of

lose their turn. However, there is a hitch! You may only play this card when you do
NOT have another card in your hand that matches the COLOR on the DISCARD pile
(but it is acceptable to play this card if you have matching number or Action

Cards). If turned up at the beginning of play, return this card to the deck and pick
another card.

Power Ring Card – Feeling powerful? When you play this card, show your strength by
taking ALL the yellow cards in your hand and distributing them among the other
players. You can give them all to 1 player, or divide them up in any way you wish
among some or all of the other players. This card is also a wild card, so you choose
the color that resumes play. If this card is turned up at the beginning of play, the
person to the left of the dealer chooses the color that begins play.
