Introduction
UNO®and SKIP-BO®are fun and engaging card games that have been played
and loved by families for many years. With today’s hectic schedules and
changing lifestyles, the ease and convenience of playing games like UNO®or
SKIP-BO®on a Game Boy®Advance is an attractive option – especially for
families on the go.
This compilation features a "hot seat multiplayer" feature. This feature
allows up to 4 players to play together on a single Game Boy
system and one Game Pak. One player takes a turn, and then hands the
Game Boy®Advance system to the next player, who takes their turn, and so
on for up to 4 total players.

Starting the Game
Correctly insert the Game Pak into your Game Boy®Advance system. Switch on the
system. Press START at the title screen.
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.

How to Play
Action Cards
Object: To win a round be the first to discard all cards.
To discard, match a card from your hand with the top card on the Discard Pile by
number/symbol or color. If you do not have any matching cards, you must take a
card from the Draw Pile, which ends your turn.
Action Cards force an action: “Reverse” play, “Draw Two” cards, “Draw Four”
cards or “Skip” next player. Wild cards let you name what color will continue play.
Before discarding your second to last card (or immediately afterwards), you must
call “UNO.” If another player catches that you forgot before the next turn begins,
you will receive two cards from the Draw Pile.
In a team game, the player to go out first will earn a win for their team. No other
rules change.
12
The following cards have special attributes when played in the game:
Draw Two Card: When played, the next person to play must draw 2
cards and miss their turn.
Reverse Card: This simply reverses direction of play. In two-player
UNO®, it acts as a skip.
Skip Card: When played, the next person to play is skipped (loses a
turn).
Wild Card: The person playing this card calls for any color to
continue the play.
13
Page 9
Wild Draw Four Card: Behaves as a Wild and a Draw card. This may
only be played when the player has none of the active colored cards in
their hand. Players may bluff and play it illegally, but the next player
may challenge it by pressing SELECT. If caught, the bluffing player
must draw four cards. If the challenger is wrong, they must draw six
cards instead of the four they would have.
Going Out
When a player has only one card left, they must call “UNO.” This is done by
pressing the R Button before the second to last card has been discarded. If the
player fails to do this, opponents can challenge that player for forgetting to call
“UNO” by pressing the L Button. This challenge must be made before the next
player draws or discards. Players who are successfully challenged for forgetting
to call “UNO” are forced to draw two cards.
Scoring
In a typical game of UNO®, scoring is used to determine the overall winner. The
winner scores points for all cards remaining in their opponent’s hands.
The scores for each card are as follows:
Game Type Win Conditions
All number cards (0-9) Face Value
Draw Two 20 Points
Reverse 20 Points
Skip 20 Points
Wild 50 Points
Wild Draw Four 50 Points
[Note: See the “Alternate Cards” section for the value of Alternate Cards.]
House Rules
Infinite Draw: Players who cannot play on a Discard Pile during their turn must
continually draw until a playable card is found.
Stack Draw Two Cards: When a Draw Two card is played, instead of drawing
two cards, you can stack a Draw Two card on top. The next player would have to
draw four or stack a Draw Two card on top.
Wild Draw Four Cards: Choose when Wild Draw Four cards can be played as
well as whether to allow bluffing.
14
15
Page 10
Draw Card Penalty: Choose the number of cards a player who is caught
forgetting to call “UNO” must draw.
Dealt Cards: Select the number of cards dealt: from 5 and 15.
Alternate Cards
Wild Reverse: This card is a combination of a Reverse card and a
Wild card. It can be played at any time, allows the player to choose
the new color, and reverses the direction of play.
Wild Skip: This card is a combination of a Skip card and a Wild card.
It can be played at any time, allows the player to choose the new
color, and skips the next player’s turn.
Wild Symbol: When this card is played on the Discard Pile, the player
chooses a symbol (0-9, Reverse, Skip, Draw Two, All Draw Two, Leader
Draw Two). After the symbol is chosen, only that card can be played
by matching the symbol or by playing a Wild card.
16
[Note: The Wild Symbol does NOT take on the traits of the symbol picked. Picking
a Draw card will not cause other players to draw, nor will it skip a player or
reverse play.]
All Draw Two: When this card is played on the Discard Pile, all other
players must draw two cards. This card is available in all 4 colors.
Leader Draw Two: When this card is played on the Discard Pile, the
opposing player(s) with the fewest cards must draw two cards. This
card is available in all 4 colors.
Challenge Mode
Challenge mode is a set of five unique levels meant to
test your skill and patience.
Each level is tiered in difficulty. Play the Challenge tier
of five levels or generate a random Challenge level and
play that! Every Challenge level has its own game type,
victory condition, and single house rule.

How to Play
Object: To win a round, be the first to play every card in your Stock Pile.
The four building piles are built of cards stacked in numerical order: 1
through 12. This is how cards are played, either from your hand, the top of
your Discard Piles, or from the top of your Stock Pile.
At the start of a turn, you will receive enough cards to bring your hand to 5.
If you play all cards from your hand, you will receive 5 more and may
continue your turn. End your turn by discarding a card from your hand onto
a Discard Pile.
Each player is dealt the same amount of face-down cards which become
their Stock Piles. Each player overturns the top card of their Stock Pile. The
remainder of the deck face is placed face-down in the center of the play area
to form the Draw Pile.
Scoring
In a typical game of SKIP-BO®, the first person to collect 500 points wins.
The winner of each game scores 5 points for each card remaining in his
opponent’s Stock Piles plus 25 points for winning the game.

Stock and Discard Piles. Partners may not discuss plays at any time. The
game is over when a team plays all cards from both of their Stock Piles.
House Rules

Pile goes first.
Stack Direction: Building Piles can flow either direction; from 1 to 12 or
12 to 1.
Stock Cards Dealt: Choose the number of cards dealt to each player’s
Stock Pile-from 5 to 30.
Hand Cards: Choose the number of cards in a hand from 4 to 6.
Wild Stacking: A Wild card can’t be played directly on top of another Wild
card.
Redraw Card: When this Wild card is played on a Building Pile,
the player’s hand will be replaced with five new cards from the
deck.
Add Stock Card: When this Wild card is played on a Building
Pile, it will add one card to the bottom of every other player’s
Stock Pile.
Clear Pile Card: When this Wild card is played on a Building
Pile, that pile will be cleared off the playing field immediately
even if the pile was not yet complete.
Starting 5 Card: This card can be played on an empty Building
Pile spot to start a new pile beginning with a 5 instead of a 1.
This card can also be played as a standard 5 card.

Endurance Mode
Endurance Mode features 2 computer opponents
of normal difficulty. In this mode, the goal is to
make your score as high as possible and you can
earn points in two ways. If you complete a
building pile, you earn points for every card in
that pile – cards that were played from a Stock Pile are worth 15 and cards
that were played from anywhere else are worth 5. If you win the round,
you’ll earn 2 points for each card you played during the entire round! If
you lose a round, you lose a token. You only get two tokens, so play
carefully!
Timed Mode
Timed Mode features a single computer opponent
of normal difficulty. In this mode, a game lasts 20
minutes and each round lasts a maximum of 4
minutes. If either timer runs out before either
player wins, the player with the fewest Stock Pile cards is declared the
winner. For winning a round, you earn 10 points plus the 5 times the
difference in stock card count between your hand and your opponent.
Race against the clock to make your score as high as possible!
