If a player has to draw cards to find a color, it’s a sign that they don’t have any of that color in their hand. To win at UNO, pay close attention to what your opponents play on their turns. If you are caught with a wild draw 4, it is worth 50 points, but the draw 2 is only worth 20. If you want to stockpile a few of these to use at opportune times, try keeping draw 2s instead of wild draw 4s.Although they will be able to play one card, they will have to draw cards on their next turn, filling their hand back up and getting you closer to winning. If you see the person that goes before you has only a few cards left, use a reverse and then a draw 2 or wild draw 4.This way, you make the person after you draw more cards and you get the added bonus of playing more cards from your hand. Wild draw 4s work in a similar way, but you can use them to your advantage by changing to a color that matches more of your cards. This will give you the advantage because they will have to draw cards and miss an opportunity to play a card as well. If the player after you only has a few cards left, play a draw 2 in order to make them draw two cards. Draw 2s are great cards to fill up the hands of those around you and ensure they can't win. So, he will withdraw a card and if he did not get the card, the next turn is yours. It is advise-able to use the odd number which you think is not with the opponent.You don't want to have to draw cards because you can't match the color. Just be careful to end on a skip that you can match.

If you are playing two player UNO, you can use your skips right away because it gives you another turn automatically.Holding one or two can work in your favor, but stock piling them will add up to a lot of points if you're caught with them. Make sure you don't hold on to too many skip cards.When this happens and play returns to you, try another strategy or make sure you get rid of the card in your hand that is worth the most points. It will also give you one more turn to play. Play one if the person next to you has UNO, skipping their turn and allowing the next person to play. Skip cards force the player after you to lose their turn and are great to stop those with UNO from playing.
