The way I was taught to play Uno, the reverse card changes the direction of play.if you’re taking turns clockwise, it changes it to counterclockwise.
However, I often hear people say “uno reverse card” in the context of saying “whatever you just tried to do to me, I’m turning it around on you”. That seems to me to imply that in the game, the reverse card turns things around on the other player. Like if they play a +2, you can play the reverse card and make them pick up 2. Is that the way some people play?
Is this one of those “house rules” situations where some people make up rules different from the official ones? Like the famous Monopoly rule where people put a pot of money in the middle that you win when you land on free parking, even though the official rules say nothing happens on free parking
Oh hell yea. It’s a big house rules game. In the drug and alcohol program I worked with I got to go to all sorts of detention centers for minors.
They had so many fun rules. One group called it Spicy Uno and had rules for regular cards too.
A 7 is played and no one can talk until another 7 is played, each word or sound is draw a card regardless of active turn.
A 6 was waterfall, last person to raise their arms over their head draws a card.
If the reverse card matches the color, anything can be reversed. Even on a multicolor draw card, whoever played the multicolor has to pick one of the colors.
If you have the twin(same color and symbol) of a card just played you can “jump in” to the turn rotation and continue in the same direction as if it was the “jumpers” original turn. This one was my favorite I think.
