In a now-viral tweet on Twitter, UNO confirmed when a player puts down a +4 card, you must draw 4 and your turned is skipped – talk about a wild card!
The rule has sparked a heat debate among players, with many struggling to accept the change
One man asked: ‘What about a +4 on a +4?’, to which UNO bluntly responded: ‘No.’
Another player asked: ‘But can you add a Draw 2 to a Draw 2?’, to which UNO responded: ‘No.’
Many avid UNO players were shocked by the revelation, with some saying they will continue to play by their own rules.
‘This is a completely valid move and the only sure way to assert your dominance at the table,’ UNO said.
The latest rule comes just months after avid UNO player LaToya McCaskill Stallings, from Houston, decided to look through the game’s official rules after she ran out of things to read at home
Upon reading, the teacher discovered players are only allowed to play the ‘Draw 4 Wild Card’ if they have no other playable cards in your hand.

‘So it’s taken me 35 years on this earth to realise that I’ve been playing UNO wrong since I was a kid,’ the school teacher said in a Facebook post.
‘Did y’all know that you can only play the Draw 4 Wild card if you have no other cards of the same color that can be played??!
‘And if you suspect that someone has illegally played this card, they have to show you their hand. And if they in fact played the card illegally they must draw 4, but If not, the person who challenged the play must DRAW 6?
‘Okay so I was bored and ran out of things to read so I decided to read the actual rule book.’
The woman shared the game-changing post in early 2018 but it was doing the rounds on social media earlier this year.
