How a round is scored

The first player to shed every card wins the round. Each opponent totals the cards left in hand, and the winner banks the sum of all of them. Play continues until someone reaches 500.

The penalty that costs most

Failing to call "Uno" when you play your second-to-last card costs two penalty cards โ€” and if either is a wild, that is 100 points handed to whoever wins the round. Wilds are the reason a hand of three cards can score worse than a hand of six.
