What Are the Rules to Play UNO Spin?
UNO Spin is played in a similar manner to the game UNO, with the addition of spin cards and a spinning wheel that dictate actions that can change the course of the game. The first player to get rid of all cards earns points equaling the total of all cards left in opponents’ hands. Whoever scores 500 points wins the game.
There are subtle differences between the standard style of play for UNO and that of UNO Spin.
Standard rulesUNO Spin is played with 108 cards and a spin wheel. Players play by matching cards in the “Discard” pile. Cards may be matched by number, symbol or color. If players do not have cards that match, they should take a card from the “Draw” pile.
