JOIN THE OFFICIAL GROUP

INSTRUCTION MANUAL

The game is mainly made up of colored cards (red, yellow, green or blue) and numbered from 0 to 9, with the addition of special cards that allow you to vary the game in different ways (Skip, Reverse, +2, Colorchooser, +4).

Cards can be discarded one at a time, based solely on the color, number or symbol of the previous card on the board, with the exception of black special cards (not playable as the last card).

The player who first manages to exhaust all the cards in his or her hand wins.

Within the group, start a new game via /new and/or join it with the /join command.

After at least 2 players have joined, start the game via the /start command.

Type @UnoDemoBot (without sending) or alternatively click on the “via @UnoDemoBot” next to the messages.

You will now be able to see your cards and additional options such as: “Draw”, “Pass”, “Call Bluff” and “Info” to view details of the current game.

The “Double Play” allows you to discard two twin cards when possible, while the “Placeholder” serves as a holder for the options to draw or pass when they are not available.

Obscured cards are those that you cannot currently play. If you have difficulty identifying the color, you can hold down on the obscured card in question to display the emoji of the associated color.

Link to the cards description

If you suspect that a +4 was played bluffing, that is, when the opponent was holding one or more cards of the same color as the previous play, you can move toward the player of the +4 an actual charge.

If the card was played correctly, the one who moved the charge must draw 6 cards.

Otherwise, it is the one who played the card illegally who must draw 4 cards. The turn, at that point, will return to the hands of the one who made the accusation.

N.B. The bluffing rule also applies to +8 cards.

When you're playing two or more simultaneous games, the group title shows up on top of your cards. Click on it and you'll get redirected to the bot, giving you the option to choose the group where to play.

Players may join a game that has already started only if the lobby has been opened via /open by the game creator or an admin.

In case someone takes more than 90 seconds to play, you can use the /skip function to skip that particular player.

Use the /leave command to leave the game.

If you wish to access your cards more quickly, you can pin the message generated by the hidden /shortcut command.

To change the game mode, the game creator, after issuing the /join command, must type @UnoDemoBot and choose from the available options:
