Whenever I play a game with someone new, we quickly realize we have to clarify the rules we’re using beforehand, since so many people have their own varieties. What are some non-standard game rules that you/your family/friends follow?
I’ll start. My family has a rule where we’re not allowed to win on a Wild card. It adds a bit of challenge, and keeps someone from being unbeatable if they play by hoarding wild cards.
Back with my family growing up, we sometimes played Uno with Cheating.
Basically this meant you were allowed to cheat in any which way (playing on somebody else’s turn, playing mismatching cards, playing several cards at once, drawing too few cards, hiding cards somewhere…). BUT if you were caught before the next player made their move, you had to undo the cheating (e.g. take back the cards), draw an extra card, and you forfeited your turn.
This sometimes led to extreme fun, particularly late at night when everybody was tired and cheating was more likely to go unnoticed.
this could be great if its undo the cheating, draw and extra card, and take a drink!
That sounds awesome. Will try it.
