UNO No Mercy is an exciting and unpredictable twist on the classic UNO game, featuring additional cards and unique rules to intensify the gameplay. Here’s how to play:
Setup
- Players: 2-10 players.
- Objective: Be the first player to score 500 points or the last player standing by forcing others into penalty points.
- Starting the Game: Shuffle the deck and deal 7 cards to each player. Place the remaining cards face down to form the draw pile. Turn over the top card to start the discard pile.
Game Play
- Play a Card: Players take turns matching the top card on the discard pile by number, color, or symbol.
- Draw a Card: If you cannot play a card, draw one from the draw pile. If playable, you can play it immediately; otherwise, keep it and end your turn.
- Call UNO!: When you have one card left, shout “UNO!” If another player catches you before your next turn, draw two penalty cards.
Special UNO No Mercy Cards
- +2 Bomb Card: The next player must draw 2 cards and lose their turn. This card can be stacked.
- +4 Wild Fire Card: Choose a color and make the next player draw 4 cards. This card cannot be stacked.
- Reverse: Changes the direction of play.
- Skip: Skips the next player’s turn.
- Swap Hands: Force another player to swap their entire hand with yours.

Special Rules for No Mercy
- Merciless Stacking: If a player is hit with a +2 or +4, they can counter with another +2 or +4 (matching the type). The penalty accumulates until a player cannot play and must draw all accumulated cards.
- Sudden Death: If a player is dealt 50 points in penalties during one turn, they are eliminated from the game.
- Quick Play: Players have 3 seconds to play their turn. Taking longer results in a penalty of 1 drawn card.
Scoring
- Number Cards: Face value.
- Action Cards:
- Reverse, Skip, +2: 20 points each.
- Wild, +4 Wild Fire, No Mercy: 50 points each.
The winner of each round scores points based on the cards left in opponents’ hands.

- Be the first to reach 500 points, or
- Be the last player remaining after others are eliminated by penalty points.
