Uno (/ˈuːnoʊ/; from Italian and Spanish for 'one'; stylized as UNO) Flip is an Americanshedding-typecard game produced by Mattel.[3] The cards from the deck are specially printed for the game. This game is a sequel to its predecessorcard game, Uno.[4]
Gameplay[edit]
As in the original Uno, the goal of Uno Flip is to be the first to play all the cards in one's hand, scoring points for the cards still held by others.
All cards have two playable sides, one 'light' and one 'dark' as indicated by their borders. Only one side is in play at any given time, starting with the light side at the beginning of each new hand. Each side has its own set of four colors, action/Wild cards, and number cards from 1 through 9.
Both sides contain two 'Flip' cards in each of their respective colors. When a Flip is played, the deck and discard pile are immediately turned over and all players must turn their hands around to play the other side of their cards.
Light Side[edit]
Colors for this side are red, yellow, green, and blue. Special cards are as follows:
- Draw One: Next player in sequence draws one card and loses a turn.
- Skip: Next player in sequence loses a turn.
- Reverse: Switches the order of play (clockwise to counterclockwise, and vice versa).
- Wild: Player names the next color to be matched. May be used on any turn.
- Wild Draw Two: Player names the next color to be matched; next player in sequence draws two cards and loses a turn. May only be used if the player has no cards of the current color.
- Flip: Switch from light to dark side.
Dark Side[edit]
Colors for this side are orange, pink, teal, and purple. Special cards are as follows:
- Draw Five: Next player in sequence draws five cards and loses a turn.
- Skip Everyone: Grants an extra turn.
- Reverse: Same as light side.
- Wild: Same as light side.
- Wild Draw Color: Player names the next color to be matched; next player in sequence must draw cards until receiving one of that color, then loses a turn. May only be used if the player has no cards of the current color.
- Flip: Switch from dark to light side.
Penalties[edit]
A player who fails to call 'uno' after playing their next-to-last card and is caught by another player before the next draw/play must draw two cards as a penalty.
When a Wild Draw Two or Wild Draw Color is played, the next player in sequence may challenge its use if they believe the holder could have played a card of the matching color. The challenged player must then show their cards privately. If the challenge is valid, the challenged player must draw the cards, if not, the challenger must draw them, plus two more as a penalty.
Scoring[edit]
When one player uses their last card, they have 'gone out' and the hand is over. That player scores points for all cards held by opponents as follows:
- Number cards: Face value
- Draw One: 10 points
- Draw Five, Reverse, Skip, Flip: 20 points
- Skip Everyone: 30 points
- Wild: 40 points
- Wild Draw Two: 50 points
- Wild Draw Color: 60 points
Points are scored based on the side that is in play after the last card is laid down. If a player goes out by using any card that requires the next player to draw, that player must take the appropriate number of cards before the scores are tallied.
The first player to score 500 points wins the game.
Reception[edit]
Uno Flip has gotten mild reviews, with Board Game Geek giving it a 6.6 out of 10, saying that 'UNO gets a brand new twist in the new UNO Flip! card game' and the only negative thing is, 'if you don't yell 'UNO' and someone catches you, you must draw two cards'[5]

What is it:
Uno Flip (technically “UNO Flip!™”, but I get annoyed by products with exclamation points in their names) is basically the classic card game Uno, but with an additional deck of card faces printed on the back sides and an additional “flip” card that, when played, means everyone needs to literally turn their hands over and play the cards on the backs.
Uno itself is essentially Crazy Eights, a game played with a standard deck.
Who is it for:
Anyone who likes cards, and Uno specifically, will enjoy Uno Flip, it’s not more complicated than regular Uno but is much more dynamic because of the flipping feature.
What Kids Like:
It’s fun and fast. We’ve tried other card games (hearts, poker, go fish, etc.) but the kids found the games too boring or too complicated. Or at least, we could find a game that all ages could play together. We’ve even tried another Uno variant called, believe it or not, “Dos” which is also pretty good, but requires a little bit of math every time a card is laid down, which really slows down the action.
But Uno Flip is one that kids of all ages can play together, with or without adults. The rules are simple enough to get the hang of it without much effort but the action is fast enough to stay interesting.

What Parents Like:
Beyond basic numeral recognition, there’s not much in the way of mathematics education, but games like this have a lot to offer in terms of social dynamics. For example, if someone is close to winning, do you work together to team up against that player?
Games are quick, so when someone loses, there is another chance in just a few minutes. Everyone gets a chance to be a gracious winner or loser. And the nature of the game is that the first to lose their cards wins and leaves, but the rest continue play, so most players end up having the thrill of not losing.
And of course, having an alternative to video games and other screen-based entertainment is always welcome.
Also, this game is very portable and very tolerant of losing cards. Any Uno deck with a few cards missing is still perfectly playable. So it’s a good game to take in the car to grandma’s house or whatever.

Who Made it / History:
From the Uno Wikipedia page
The game was originally developed in 1971 by Merle Robbins in Reading, Ohio, a suburb of Cincinnati. When his family and friends began to play more and more, he spent $8,000 to have 5,000 copies of the game made. He sold it from his barbershop at first, and local businesses began to sell it as well. Robbins later sold the rights to UNO to a group of friends headed by Robert Tezak, a funeral parlor owner in Joliet, Illinois, for $50,000 plus royalties of 10 cents per game. Tezak formed International Games, Inc., to market UNO, with offices behind his funeral parlor. The games were produced by Lewis Saltzman of Saltzman Printers in Maywood, Illinois. In 1992, International Games became part of the Mattel family of companies.[3]
Uno has loads and loads of variants. I can’t tell when Flip was released, but I think sometime in 2019 or 2020.
Where Can I Get it:
Uno Flip is available for $5 to $6 at most retail places that sell games.
