You may have played classic Uno and think you’re all done, but we’ve got 5 brand new ways to play the classic card-drop game.

UNO Extreme

No matter what flavor of Uno you’re playing, you can add to the fun and mayhem with Uno Extreme. Whenever a player can’t play a card to the discard pile, they instead hit the button on the launcher. Maybe nothing happens. In this case, count your blessings and play continues to the next player. But more likely, a random number of cards will shoot out and added to that player’s hand.

Uno Extreme adds new cards like Discard All, which lets a player discard all cards of a single color, or Hit cards which force another player to press the launcher button.

UNO Flex

In Uno Flex, some cards can be turned around, or flexed in order to have a different color. But the Power card determines when players are allowed to flex their cards or not. If the power card shows the green check, flex away! But if it’s showing the red X, the cards are locked.

Other new cards like Flex Draw Two forces every other player to draw one card and Flex Draw 4 lets the player choose which player has to draw 4 cards. Plus, Flex Wild All Draw forces every other player to draw 2 cards, and Flex Skip skips ALL players.

Uno Flip

At first glance, Uno Flip might seem like the same thing as Uno Flex. But Uno Flip takes the idea to the next level. When the Flip card is played, every card flips over, including the draw pile! The cards everyone was so ready to play suddenly vanish in the flip of an eye.

Uno Flip also includes some new cards like Draw Five and Skip Everyone.

UNO Dare

Uno Dare comes with 3 different categories of dare, with 16 dares in each category. Players can either draw 2 or complete the dare noted on the card. There’s also an additional option for making your own dares.

Good wholesome, family friendly dares.

Uno No Mercy

Uno on X has been pushing the myth that you can’t put a +2 on a +2 for years. Despite being so very wrong about their own game, they decided to relent and make a relentless version of their own game.

In No Mercy, you can play a draw card on a draw card to pass the buck. Plus the draw cards now go up to +10! But, in No Mercy, if you ever have 25 cards or more in hand, you’re out! So, that’s one meme that you won’t be able to recreate.

BoLS might make a few bucks on anything you buy from these links. But, be honest, you don’t enjoy randomly browsing online stores. So let us do the annoying part for you. Help us help you.
