UNO has cleared up speculation about its rules - so you’ll finally know if you’re in the right before kicking off at your loved ones this Christmas.
It’s the peak time of the year to play a few card games with your family, but if you’d rather avoid the almost-inevitable fights that come with it, then read on.
Now, when you play UNO and you’re hit with a +2 or +4 card, some folks think it’s perfectly acceptable to simply put another +2 or +4 on top and make the poor player to go next pick up the whole lot.

But if anyone tries that this Christmas, you can now proudly tell them to ‘f**k off’ as UNO has stressed that stacking cards like this is against the rules.
In a post on Twitter - as the social media platform was known at the time - the official UNO account told players: “If someone puts down a +4 card, you must draw 4 and your turn is skipped. You can’t put down a +2 to make the next person Draw 6. We know you’ve tried it.”
Someone then questioned if this still applied to a +4 and +4 and UNO confirmed that it did.

A clip showing the screenshot has been shared to TikTok by user @_manifestx who clearly wasn’t best pleased.
Sharing a video of her laughing with the screenshot of the post on her account, she wrote: “LOL UNO. Thanks for the cards we’ll take it from here. The rules are what you can convince others.”
And others were quick to agree with the TikToker as one person commented: “IS THIS TRUE? I will always save the + cards so the person after me has to draw more cards.”
Another said: “They clearly don’t know how to play UNO.”

While a third wrote: “UNO doesn’t know how to play UNO (if this happens to me I will pull up this tweet despite doing it to everyone).”
And someone else joked: “Funny how they think they can make the rules in my household.”
With that crucial rule in mind you should also remember that you don't need to yell 'UNO out' when you play your last card, and that's according to UNO themselves.

Like the 'no stacking cards' rule, it is a popular household rule and it's also really helpful to let everyone else playing know when you're out of cards, so this one gets a pass.
