Beyond stacking draw cards, if you really like the delayed effect mechanism, you can also allow Skip and Reverse cards to be stacked on top of a Draw 2 or Draw 4 card.These rules are so well-known and so well-used (for good reason) that they should be standard for any regular Uno player. I am surprised that Mattel has not officially adopted stacking rules into their official rules, at least as a variation. In the end, this tends to balance the game more than break it. The only disadvantage to this variation is that once a player draws a large number of cards (such as 8 cards), they likely can start a new chain of drawing cards. This also tends to speed up games a little bit because there is less back and forth of drawing cards as the person with more Draw 2/Draw 4 cards can avoid drawing cards for longer. They are extremely fun and they add an additional strategic element to Uno as starting the chain of drawing cards can backfire.

Stacking can also apply to Draw 4 cards, where a player can play another Draw 4 to cause the next player to draw 8 cards.Īlthough less common, another variation allows Draw 2 cards to stack on Draw 4 cards and vice versa, which causes the card effects to grow much steeper (drawing 12 cards is not uncommon). If a Draw 2 card is "stacked," the next player must draw 4 cards or play another Draw 2 card (causing the next player to draw 6 cards), and so on. When a player plays a Draw 2 card, the next player can either draw 2 cards or play another Draw 2 card. One of the most common variants people play with is stacking Draw 2 cards. However, most serious Uno players allow rules for stacking draw cards in some form. No, the official rules of Uno do not allow you to stack Draw 2 cards or Draw 4 cards.
