What do the cards in a deck of uno cards add up to?

Answer 1

Uno is just a commercial version of the traditional game "Crazy Eights". The numbers 0 to 9 mean just what they say. The Reverse means the game play is Reversed. That is if the game play is clockwise, playing a Reverse makes it counterclockwise and vice-versa. The Skip means that the next player is skipped, that is he loses his turn. The Draw Two means the next player must draw two cards and loses his turn. The (regular) Wild can be played at any time. The Wild Draw Four can only be played if the player is out of the current color. The next player must then draw four cards. When a player plays a (regular) Wild or Wild Draw Four, he must announce the new color. I hope this is clear.

Number cards: No special rules. Worth the same number of points as the number on the card, e.g. a '6' card is worth 6 points.

Reverse: Reverses the direction of play, so if the turn passes to the left it changes to the right. If there are only 2 people playing the opponent misses their next turn as if it was a Skip card. If this comes up as the initial up-card, the dealer goes first and play continues to the right instead of to the left. Worth 20 points.

Skip: The next player misses their next turn. A player who loses their turn in this way is said to have been 'skipped'. If this comes up as the initial up-card, the first player is 'skipped'. Worth 20 points.

Draw Two: The next player loses their turn and has to draw 2 cards from the deck. Some 'house' rules state that if this player also has a Draw Two card they can play it on top of yours and the next player must draw 4 cards, etc.If this comes up as the initial up-card, the first player has to draw 2 cards and the next player goes first instead. Worth 20 points.

Wild: This can be played regardless of what the up-card is. If you play this card you must pick a colour for it, then the next player must play either the colour you picked or a wild card.If this comes up as the initial up-card, the first player may play any card. Worth 50 points.

Wild Draw Four: Both a wild card and a Draw Two, except the next player obviously has to draw four cards, not two. You can't play this if you have a card of the same colour as the up-card. If this comes up as the initial up-card, put it back in the deck and draw a new initial up-card. Worth 50 points.

Answer 3

The point value of the entire deck = 8 x 1 + 8 x 2 + 8 x 3 + 8 x 4 + 8 x 5 + 8 x 6 + 8 x 7 + 8 x 8 + 8 x 9 + 24 x 20 + 8 x 50 = 72 x 5 + 480 + 400 = 360 + 880 = 1240 points
