instructions for a fun game for all ages. You will need a deck of UNO Cards and two or more players.

Step 1. Shuffle the deck and deal seven cards, face down, to each player. Stack the remaining

cards face down to form a Draw pile. Step 2. Turn over the first card in the Draw pile

to create a Discard pile. Step 3. Have the person to the dealer's left match some aspect

of the Discard pile card -- either the number, color, or symbol. Place this card face up

on top of the Discard pile. Play a Wild Card anytime. Tell everyone what color you want

the next person to match. Step 4. Draw one card from the top of the Draw pile if no match

can be made with the card on the Discard pile. The drawn card can be played if it matches

the Discard pile card. Step 5. Pass the play to the next player after a match is made or

a card is drawn from the Draw pile. Continue counterclockwise, matching the number, color,

or symbol with the Discard pile or drawing from the Draw pile. Step 6. Shout "Uno!" when

you only have one card remaining in your hand. Play until one person is out of cards. Penalize

anyone who forgets to shout "Uno!" when they have only one card left by having them draw

two cards from the Draw pile. Step 7. Add the values of the cards remaining in everyone

else's hands, with number cards counting as face value; Draw Two, Reverse, and Skip cards

counting for 20 points; and Wild Cards counting for 50 points. Shorten the game by playing

only one hand, with the person running out of cards first being the winner. Step 8. Start

a new game, and continue playing until someone reaches 500 points. Did you know UNO was created

in 1971 by Merle Robbins, a barber in Ohio. He and his family made the first decks of

UNO cards on their kitchen table and sold them at his barbershop.
