UNO Puerto Rican style

Normal UNO playing is fine. But when you're playing with Puerto Ricans (by my standards) is way more fun than the normal way one should play the game.

The rules are basically the same as normal UNO, the only difference are a few additional rules. Here goes:

1. We call it "Descarga" or discharge in English. There are two types of "Descargas" One is by Number the other is by colors.

2. By numbers We mean that if you have 2+ different color card but with the same number or shape lets say for example #8 card and you have a green and blue 8, you can place both cards at the same time. (PS. Same color with the same number or shape card also apply in this discharge.)

3. In the event that one can not change the color or does not have the shape or number card on display one he/she must keep drawing from the draw deck until him/she get the card possible to make his/her turn.

4. In the event that UNO is called on someone but he/she dose not have UNO the caller must draw 7 cards.(I think this is standard I'm not quite sure).

5. Here the fun part, Draw two's the players can put their draw two's preventing them from drawing the amount of cards it stop when someone places a wild draw 4 and the next player has no wild draw 4. ( I think is should be done this way but sometimes we keep going when the person who put the wild draw 4 call a color and he/she has a draw two of the called color) When I played and this happened we've gone up to draw 47 cards that wild.

6. "Descarga de colores" Discharge of colors. This one is sometimes neglected since the game ends too quickly. The basic is trow all the cards with the same color as the display.

7. You are only able to change the color by the number or symbol card.


Basically "Descarga" of Numbers is more fun since the game can be prolonged for more than 30 minutes until all the players have discarded all their cards.

If I can get my hands on a camcorder I will upload a video on how we play this game.
