Even when the flipping mechanic comes into play it doesnвЂ™t usually make that big of difference in the game. The only time it comes into play is when a player plays a card with the UNO guy on it or when a wild draw four card is played and you are using the alternate rule. As I said before I would estimate that only 5-10% of the game involves the use of the flipping mechanic. The mechanic doesnвЂ™t come into play that often and when it does it doesnвЂ™t drastically change the game. The first problem with the flipping mechanic is that it feels like an afterthought in the game. I actually think the mechanic could have improved UNO except for two things that prevent that from happening. While I knew the mechanic wouldnвЂ™t add a lot to UNO, I thought it would work well as a short distraction from playing cards to the table. Before playing the game I had high hopes for the launching mechanic since I generally like these type of mechanics. With basic UNO out of the way lets address the one unique thing in UNO Flip, the flipping mechanic. On the downside though the game relies almost entirely on luck and can get a little repetitive. I like that the game is quick, easy to learn and is a game that you donвЂ™t have to put a lot of thought into. In general I would say that UNO is a solid but unspectacular card game. Pretty much everyone has played UNO at least once in their lives though so you probably already have your own opinion of the game. Based on how much of the game it entails I should spend most of this review talking about UNO. If I had to break down UNO Flip I would say that 90-95% of the game is UNO with the flipping mechanic occasionally coming into play. After playing UNO Flip I unfortunately have to say that the game is significantly more UNO than flip. While it didnвЂ™t seem like it was going to be that unique, I was intrigued by the flipping mechanic because I have always liked dexterity games with this type of mechanic. I felt like it was going to be a normal game of UNO with the flipping mechanic added in to mix things up. My Thoughts on UNO FlipД«efore playing UNO Flip I was well aware that the game wasnвЂ™t going to be drastically different than basic UNO. The first player to score 500 or more points wins the game. The cards would be worth the following points: 50 points for the wild, 20 points for the skip, 7 points for the seven, and 6 points for the six.ДЄfter scoring a new round is played (if none of the players have scored enough points to win) with the next player clockwise starting the round.

One of the players had these cards left in their hand when the round ended. If the UNO guy lands on the crash pad, the current player gives one of their cards to the player who controls the crash pad that the UNO guy landed on. The player then launches the UNO guy towards one the of the other playersвЂ™ crash pads.

The player places the UNO guy on the launcher and the launcher on their crash pad. When a player plays a flip card they will get to flip their UNO guy. If the player who played the card fails, they will draw the four cards.ДЇlip: Any number card that features the UNO guy is considered a flip card. If the UNO guy lands on the crash pad, that player has to draw the four cards. They then flip their UNO guy towards that playerвЂ™s crash pad. There is also a variant rule where the player who plays the card can choose a player other than the next player to target. The next player will also draw four cards and will lose their turn. The player who plays the card will get to choose the color for the discard pile. Wild Draw Four: A player can only play this card if they donвЂ™t have any cards of the color that is currently on top of the discard pile. Wild: The player who plays the card gets to decide the color for the discard pile. Skip: The next player will lose their turn. For example if play was moving clockwise it will now move counter clockwise. Reverse: The direction of play will reverse to the opposite direction. Other than the number cards the game includes some special cards.Дraw Two: The next player will draw two cards and they will lose their turn. The next player can play any yellow card, any six card, or a wild/wild draw four. The top card on the discard pile is a yellow six.
