WARNING : Inserting a Game Pak when the system is already on might result in damage to
the Game Pak.
Game Select
At the Game Select menu, press the Control Pad Up, Down, Left or Right to select
which game you want to play. Then press the A Button to confirm your selection.
You can also enter the Pre-game Options screen from this menu, which allows you
to adjust sound and music volumes or view the game’s credits.
Main Menu
After selecting a game, you are presented with the Main Menu where you can
select one of the following options:
Custom Game – customize all possible player and game options.
Quick Play – set only basic game options to quickly start a game.
Special Modes – try out some of the new and different modes.
6
Help – view the controls and rules for your selected game.
Custom Game Setup
Selecting a custom game gives you full control over how to play. You can set the
number of players, customize each player, and choose which game type, alternate
cards, and house rules to play with.
Custom Game Player Setup
After selecting a Custom game, you must first set your player options. First, you
can set the number of players and whether to play a team game. Team play is
only available in a 4-player game. Next, you can set each player as either humancontrolled or computer-controlled, as well as set the computer’s difficulty level.
Player 1 must be human-controlled, since every game must have at least one
human player.
Custom Game Player Personalization
After the Player Setup, all human players will take turns personalizing their player
information. Each player can enter a name of up to six letters and choose an icon
to represent them in the game.

Custom Game Setup Options
The Custom Game Setup Screen lists a number of important options for the
Custom Game mode. On this screen, you can select the game type along with the
win condition for that type. You can also select whether you would like to play
with House Rules and Alternate Cards on or off.
Game Type Win Conditions
Endless N/A
Points 100-1000 (reach this amount)
Rounds 1-10 (win this number of rounds)
Survival 100 -1000 (starting point value)
Endless: Play endless rounds of UNO®or SKIP-BO®. Between each round, scores
will be shown in two categories – points and number of rounds won. Play
continues indefinitely.
Points: Players race to reach a set points value to win. Between each round,
scores will be shown. Once a player has reached the specified number of points,
that player will win the game.
Rounds: Players must win a set amount of rounds to win the game. Between
each round, the number of rounds each player has won will be displayed. Once a
player has won the specified number of rounds, that player will win the game.
Survival: In a Survival game, all players start with a set number of points. The
losing players of each round lose points, as opposed to a Points game where the
round winner gains points. When a player runs out of points, that player is
eliminated from the game. Play continues until only one player remains.
Quick Play Setup
This allows you to quickly set up a game by addressing only the most necessary
options. You will be asked to select the number of human-controlled players,
number of computer-controlled players, game difficulty, and game type. Players
will be given a default name and icon.
Special Modes Menu
This menu allows you to choose one of three Special Modes for your chosen
game. The following single-player modes are available:
Challenge Mode – challenge yourself with one of 5 unique levels or play a
randomly generated level for a new experience each time.
Endurance Mode – maximize your score by winning big without losing to many
times!
Timed Mode – race against two clocks to score big before time runs out.
