FIGURE 3

OBJECT To be the first player to score 500 points. Points are scored by being the first player to get rid of all the cards in your hand. You score points for cards left in your opponents hands.
UNO ATTACK! IN A NUTSHELL Each player is dealt 7 cards. Place one card from the deck on top of the Launcher to begin a DISCARD pile. Open the Launcher, insert the remaining cards facedown inside, then close. (See Figure 4.) IMPORTANT: During play, rotate the Launcher so it always faces the player whose turn it is.
STARTING THE DISCARD PILE If a Special Command card is the first one turned up to form the DRAW pile, this is what happens: Reverse Card - The dealer plays first, but play then goes to the right instead of left.
Skip Card - The player to left of the dealer doesnt start (is skipped). The player to left of the skipped player starts.

FIGURE 4

Wild Card - The player to the left of the dealer calls out a color, then plays.
The first player has to match the card in the DISCARD pile either by number, color or word. For example, if the card is a red 7, you must throw down a red card or any color 7 onto the DISCARD pile. Or, you can throw down a Special Card, if appropriate (see Special Cards section). If you dont have anything that matches, you must hit the Launcher button. If the Launcher dings but no cards shoot out, play moves to the next person. If cards shoot out, you must add these cards to your hand. Then play continues with the next person (to the left, until a Reverse card is played see Special Cards section). When you have one card left, you must yell UNO (meaning one). Failure to do this results in your having to hit the Launcher button TWICE. (That is, of course, if you get caught by the other players.) Once a player is out of cards, the hand is over. Points are scored (see Scoring section) and you start over again. Thats UNO ATTACK! in a nutshell. NOW FOR THE DETAILS CHOOSING A DEALER Every player picks a card. The person who picks the highest number deals. If you picked a Special Card, too badthey dont count. The dealer deals 7 cards to each player, starts the Discard pile (see Starting the Discard Pile section), then loads the Launcher. Player to the left of dealer starts play.
Hit 2 - The player to the left of the dealer must hit the Launcher button twice. Then play begins with the next player (the second player to the dealers left).
Trade Hands - Its put back in the deck and another one is chosen.
Discard All - The player to the left of the dealer begins play with a card of the same color, or another Discard All card. If thats not possible, he/she must hit the Launcher button. Wild All Hit - Each player (beginning with the person to the dealers left) must press the Launcher button once. If the Launcher dings but doesnt shoot out any cards, play continues with the player to the left. Any cards that shoot out must be added to the players hand(s) who activated the Launcher. (NOTE: More than one player may activate the Launcher. The dealer does not activate the Launcher.) Play continues as normal.

Wild Hit-Fire - Only the player to the dealers left presses the Launcher button until the Launcher fires. The activating player adds the Launched cards to his/her hand, then play begins with the next player to his/her left. SPECIAL CARDS Reverse - Simply reverse direction of play. Play left becomes play right, and vice versa. Skip - The next player to play loses his/her turn and is skipped. Wild Card - This card can be played on any card. The person playing the card calls any color to continue play, including the one presently being played if desired. A Wild card can be played even if the player has another playable card in his/her hand. Hit 2 - When this card is played, the next player must hit the Launcher button twice. His/her turn is then over; play continues with the next player. Trade Hands - When this card is played, the player discarding the Trade Hands card MUST trade his/her hand with another player of his/her choosing. Discard All - Play this card when you want to discard all of the cards in your hand of the same color. For example, if a yellow 7 is in the Discard pile, you may discard all the yellow cards in your hand, with a yellow Discard All card placed on top. (You may also discard a Discard All card on top of another Discard All card.) Wild All Hit - When this card is played the player calls a color, then each player (beginning with the person to the discard players left) must press the Launcher button once. If the Launcher doesnt shoot out any cards, play continues with the player to the left. Any cards that shoot out must be added to the players hand(s) who activated the Launcher. (NOTE: More than one player may activate the Launcher. The player who played the Wild All Hit card does not press the Launcher button.) Then play continues as normal. Wild Hit-Fire - When this card is played the player calls a color, then the next player in the direction of play must press the Launcher button until the Launcher shoots out cards. The activating player adds the Launched cards to his/her
hand and forfeits his/her turn, then play continues as normal with the next player. GOING OUT When you have one card left, you must yell UNO (meaning one). Failure to do this results in your having to hit the Launcher button TWICE. (That is, of course, if you get caught by the other players.) If you forget to say UNO before your card touches the Discard pile, but you catch yourself before another player catches you, you are safe and not subject to the penalty. You may not catch a player for failure to say UNO until their second-to-last card touches the Discard pile. Also, you may not catch a player for failure to say UNO after the next player begins their turn. Beginning a turn is defined as either playing a card or hitting the Launcher button. If a player goes out by discarding a Wild All Hit card or Wild Hit-Fire card, all players must follow the normal rules for these cards. A player may not go out on a Trade Hands card. Once the Discard pile reaches the same level as the top of the plastic stopper that holds the pile in place, reshuffle the Discard pile, reload the Launcher and continue play. SPECIAL RULES If any cards are left sticking out of the Launcher after activation, the player who caused the Launcher to activate must take these cards and add them to his/her hand. SCORING When you are out of cards, you get points for cards left in opponents hands as follows: All cards through 9. Reverse. Skip. Hit 2. Discard All. Trade Hands. Wild. Wild All Hit. Wild Hit-Fire. Face Value 20 Points 20 Points 20 Points 30 Points 30 Points 50 Points 50 Points 50 Points

The WINNER is the first player to reach 500 points. However, the game may be scored by keeping a running total of the
points each player is caught with at the end of each hand. When one player reaches 500 points, the player with the lowest points is the winner. RENEGING You may choose not to play a playable card from your hand. If so, you must hit the Launcher button. Your turn is then over. PENALTIES Any player making a card suggestion to another player must hit the Launcher button 4 times. TWO PLAYER GAME Rules for Two Players - Play UNO ATTACK! with two players with the following special rules: 1. Playing a Reverse card acts like a Skip. The player who plays the Reverse may immediately play another card. 2. The person playing a Skip card may immediately play another card. 3. When a Hit 2 card is played and your opponent has hit the Launcher button twice, the play is back to you. CHALLENGE GAME Challenge UNO ATTACK! - This game is scored by keeping a running total of what each player is caught with in their hand. As each player reaches a designated amount, we suggest 500, that player is eliminated from the game. When only two players are left in the game, they play head to head. (See Two Player Game section.) When a player reaches or exceeds the amount designated, they lose. The winner of that final hand is declared the winning player of the game. THE MAKERS OF UNO FIND THIS VARIATION THE MOST CHALLENGING WAY TO PLAY. LAUNCHER HINTS & TROUBLE SHOOTING When the UNO ATTACK button is pushed, the Card Launcher will ding once to announce activation when no cards shoot out, and it will ding several times when cards do shoot out. If the button is pushed and it makes no sound, push the button again to activate. If the button is pushed again and it still makes no sound, ensure that the cover is fully snapped into place (the unit will not activate otherwise). Cards do not
launch each time the button is pressed. If the button is pushed and the launcher dings more than once but no cards shoot out, check to make sure there are still cards in the Launcher. Replace batteries when Card Launcher slows down.
