UNO!™ Wiki

I only do games I don’t pay to beat. I earn my way as best I can do it on my own. This Uno game I LOVED. And I’m not the mean spirited that boos or throws eggs at people for giving me draw twos or draw fours. I realize it’s in there hand to play to try and win. Reasonable. However, all of the sudden I noticed the game was doing EVIL glitches. Example, I’d already have a duck hand to start with, hang in there, play my hand WELL, put my only draw 2 and it would GIVE ME BACK MY DRAW TWO TO MYSELF. It would happen with various plays to get ahead. Then, I started getting a player say KARMA!!! And I’m thinking, what the heck I rescue animals, nurse, and I will have players give me back draw 2’s etc that I FAIRLY played. I feel like even though I absolutely love uno and it keeps me from being lonely or occupied after working long hours at work and stuff...I have NO CHOICE but to DELETE it. It’s my only guess that it’s either TWO opinions: Your game has hackers on it that manipulate the games or it’s your own staff wanting people to purchase crap. Or both. I don’t know. But one player I had on the teams...even they said “Why???” After we have our opposing team draw 2 and skip and it gave it to US....then they WON. Makes no sense. But major hackville or staffville.”

I have always loved playing the uno card game but sometimes there is no one else to play with but this game fixes that by making matches short and pairing you with three other people. I love this game and I think it is a lot of fun to play. There are a few things that really bug me though. The first one being is that I will buy a lucky clover that is meant to save your coins if you lose, but if I lose and have applied this lucky clover I still lose the same amount of coins as if I didn’t use the clover at all. This is the same if my partner shares a clover I lose coins also and that is super annoying. If this is not meant to happen then it needs to be fixed because you waste two-hundred coins on a clover and it does practically nothing. I also do not think it is fair that if your teammate runs out of coins that you are charged with them. I think that seems very unfair but I can live with that annoying feature. Overall those are my biggest complaints. Otherwise I love the game, I’m level twenty-six and have been playing for a few months. Thank you for taking the time to read this. Sincerely, a huge uno fan!

I love UNO and I’ve been playing since I was little. At this point I can’t find anyone that likes to play the actual card game so this app is a great alternative for me. However, I think this coin system is completely unnecessary. I had about 10k coins over the course of like 20 games, and then after one game I lost all 10k and I couldn’t play until the next day. I guess it’s just to get you to buy coins but I’m not paying money for UNO. I would have at least one mode where coins aren’t a factor. There’s really no reason to force you to stop playing the game because you’re out of coins. I thought the whole point is to get you to keep playing. This also goes for Ranked. Why do we need to have hearts? Just let me play the game when I want to play it. Whenever there is a Ranked mode in a video game I will play it. But not once did I have to deal with a system like this where if you lose enough you have to wait to play again. Let me grind UNO! Not to mention, in doubles, if your teammate had a ton of cards and loses when you had like 2 cards, you both lose coins based off who has the most cards. It’s not my fault my teammate is trash, why do you have to punish me for it too? Anyway, I can still enjoy UNO and, yes, this coin stuff is annoying but at the end of the day you can always play the modes with the lowest stakes.

It’s a card game. Obviously card games are based on the luck of your hand, just like in real life. And like in real life, you can get bad hands or lose to a luckier hand many times in a row. I can’t speak on if the games rigged or not but losing doesn’t make a luck based game rigged lol. My issue with the game is there are too many little glitches that add up to be annoying over time. I was just in a game where I had to close and re enter the app because the loading bar wouldn’t move when I entered the game. Then when I was in the game I was trying to use a wildcard and it glitched and wouldn’t let me change the color and I had to wait for my turn to time out, resulting in the wrong color being picked and someone else winning the game. Other times ads will turn black after playing and I have to restart the app to be able to do anything. Or a game will just not move after “reconnecting” and yes I have to restart the app meanwhile the game is playing for others. It’s things like this that add up over time, especially if I’m losing coins just because your game is running bumpily. Also, you should have a basic unranked mode that doesn’t require coins. I’m sure some people don’t want to sit around waiting for imaginary money to just play regular uno.

I love this game! I’ve been playing it everyday since I downloaded it, some time last year. I’ve been playing this classic card game since I were a child, so when I saw it in the App Store, I jumped on it. However, I do have two issues for me. 1) I think the coin ratio needs to be fixed. It’s already bad enough that it seems like you lose more games than you win, but when you lose games, it seems like you lose A LOT more coins than when you win a game. For example, today, I was playing 2-on-2 in Wild Weekend(x2), I lost my first six games before I finally won about three. In each lost game, I lost no less than 500 coins, and I, nor my teammate, had a bunch of power cards, but in the games I won, I’d only win about 200 coins, and the other team would have an abundance of cards. It’s very hard to continue playing, if you’re constantly losing coins faster than you’re keeping them. 2) I feel like there should be a better way to communicate with your teammates and people on your friends list, other than the little programmed phrases. What’s the point of having teammates and friends, if you can’t communicate with them. I think that would make the gaming experience better.

This game is a fun time waster but its completely random in terms of winning or loosing. You'll have a day where you'll win 9/10 games then you'll have a day where you'll loose 9/10 games and often time all your coins, this is my 2nd day in a row where my loose ratio well exceeds my wins ( like 15 losses and 5 wins) and now I'm loosing interest in playing. There really isn't much strategy involved, you play what ever cards are given so you’re pretty much bound to completely win or loose (i guess thats “cards” though lol..). I often times play with a teammate because i feel that you would have more chances of winning (50/50) but that doesn't seem to be the case as iv been loosing consecutive games..I will also add as I've seen in someone else’s comments, I feel that the +4 card is a scam because 9 times out of 10 you'll loose the guess..Don't hate the game for it, idk im sure its legit but it just seems odd to loose so many guesses. However, I will say that the +4 card seems to be the most strategic card to use as in you can either set you or your teammate up for a good play or call a bluff color to throw your opponents off. My biggest dislike is how you get skipped when you get hit with the +2 or +4 card! Thats insult to injury! As if getting multiple cards isn't bad enough, then you dont even get to play your hand. Not cool. Overall 3 out of 5 stars, its fun but gets stale on those days where you cant break out of a loose streak.

This can be a fun game, but there are several problems with it. First one being that you can play several hands in a row and get lousy cards, in which you end up losing your coins. If the deck was shuffled well, and legit, I do not see how someone can get all number cards, while another player gets four or five wild cards. If you do not get a +4 card in your hand, you can pretty much know you are going to lose that game. I have played 6 games in a row where I had all bad cards, so that seems a little rigged to me. Second problem is that they take 30 coins just to play a game, so if you come in 2nd place, you gain very little to nothing on that game. Thirdly, I have clicked on uno x 1, and the game automatically defaulted to uno x 80, and then it would not let me opt out of it, even though I immediately caught it. I lost that game, and most of my 16,000 coins were gone in an instance. That might be their tactic to get you to purchase more coins, but I am not going to pay to play any game on the internet. Lastly, having the option to use coins to buy things to throw at other players, seems mean spirited and childish. Some players spend the whole game throwing things at other players and it is too distracting, or they sign up to play a round then let the computer play their round for them. If they can’t play their own hand, they should have to forfeit the game!

As many have said, the game is rigged. One sure way to check are the scratch cards. You always get 3 choices, so 1 out of 3 odds. But statistics do not add up when I get coins over items 90% of the time. I think I got an item once and I scratched probably 50 of those. I no longer see them as anything but a spare few coins. Because even if the options are 20, 100, and 500 coins, I would still get 20. It’s almost always the least favorable one. Other part I don’t like: universe. The universe games are a lot of fun. Every game you get 3 things to fulfill. You pass a round if you fulfill one or more. The prizes it what make you want to get the perfect score. Problem is, uno is a high chance game. You have skills you can use but you have no control over what cards you get or what your opponent does. This make fulfilling all 3 items on the list almost impossible. Some rounds have easier tasks. But other rounds would take you hours of game play to luck out to and get the task required. Hardest task include: discard 9 red cards with discard all card, finish with 50 seconds on the clock, play 3 “0” cards. Those might not sound to bad until you start playing and realize on is hard to accomplish, let alone 3 of these in one game!!! This is killing the universe games for me :(

There needs to be other changes. I’m tired of trying to shine my crystal ball to know who had what before I get left with 30+ cards (34 has been my max.) Also, this is about THE MOST rigged game ever. Most especially when you are in Japan, Tokyo, etc. Sam, Ada, etc. win and win and win and you never collect all the flowers. It’s pathetic. I’m a really good player, I’ve been at the game since I was a kid (30+ years) & strategy can be key but it’s impossible to strategize with your teammates in 2x2 with only preconceived phrases like “Thanks! & “Lucky!” - really doesn’t help right? Also, to anyone reading this, when you play 2x2 it’s not about YOU laying down the last card - it’s about whichever one of you (between the 2 of you) gets close enough to make it feasible. Then? Then you give everything you have to get your partner a win (or vice versa) - when one of you wins in 2x2 you BOTH WIN. I’m really disgusted by fellow teammates (and there are plenty) who will knowingly throw a hand just to punish you for doing the best thing for the team (and often in THEIR favor) - what’s wrong with you??? They’ll pick up 40 cards turn after turn just to get you to lose, pathetic. This is why we need more ability to communicate somehow- more applicable phrases, something, ANYTHING. This game was fun from levels 1-25-ish, now at level 60+ it’s getting ridiculous. Please fix this, you’re doing no justice to the game I grew up loving.

This version of UNO is the best out there; however, the +4 mechanic where you have to guess is terrible! Sure, I understand that it is meant to add to the unpredictability of the game, and that would be fine, if it was not for the fact that you guessing ALWAYS results in you receiving a penalty. Let me explain this: let’s say the player who goes before you has two cards—a +4 and a yellow card (for the sake of the example). Then say that the player who goes before you puts down the said +4 card and changes it to yellow, the color corresponding to their last card. Now it asks me if I think that the player before me has some other random color, so I say no. Obviously the player who goes before me has a yellow card, that is why they changed the color. So I press “no” and I have to draw four cards for guessing wrong. Most of the times I think that they really did not have a yellow card until the person who goes before me puts down a yellow and wins the game. I have lost MANY games because of this. Why do I have to draw four cards when I correctly guessed that the player before me had no cards of a certain color. Now I have to say that this is not always the case, although, it has happened plenty of times for me to have to write a review about this game. Please fix the way the +4 cards work in the game of just remove the mechanic all together.

Edit: While I have a good amount of coins (~5000), I’m fairly certain the game is rigged to incentivize spending real money on in-game currency. I ran a statistical analysis over a 150 game sample and the win-loss rate in 2v2 style of play did not come remotely close to approaching 50%. Additionally, the win-loss rate gets even worse after spending more time in ranked matches. I’m all for freemium games, but your algorithm should not force predetermined outcomes. It’s dishonest and extortionist behavior. As is the standard for mobile games today, there are coins, there are gems, and there are “lives”. While the UNO gameplay is indeed fun, it costs coins to play any of the game modes. When you lose your coins and can no longer obtain free coins, you have the option to buy gems to purchase coins or win your coins back. There is also a ranked mode to further stoke the fires of “I just need a few more coins” or “I’ll just buy one more shield to protect my coins”. If you’re the kind of person who falls into the pay-to-win traps of mobile games, be aware that this game uses all kinds of tricks to incentivize spending real money on imaginary currencies. The game also has a way of shifting your luck to ensure you’re never quite safe with your virtual earnings. Other than these faults, which are pretty standard in today’s mobile gaming market anyways, the UNO gameplay is fun and exciting — as long as you have the coins necessary to play.

This game is rigged. You will have loosing streaks. It doesn’t matter how “smartly” you play your cards if you’re meant to loose you will LOOSE. They will do everything to get you to purchase something from the app🙄 The scratchers are rigged as well you can confirm this; pick your scratcher let’s say the gold one then pick one of the 3 options, let’s say you pick scratcher number 1, scratch just a small part enough for you to see what you will get (make sure you don’t scratch all of it!) then press the arrow to go back to your “bag” then pick that same gold scratcher again but this time scratch number 2 and you’ll see that it’s going to be the same “reward” as number 1 they just make you think you have 3 options but you don’t! It’s not random, it’s all rigged! Every single thing! They’re just trying to take your money. My advice is that once you see you’re losing just take a break for that day bc you will keep loosing! You might win one game or two but they will make you loose your coins on the next games. Also the drawing are rigged! It’s not possible for one player to get 3 +4 cards while you and your team mate have all number cards. Once you see that you aren’t getting any good cards just quit the game and come back another day before you end up yelling at your phone 😂 please do NOT SPEND MONEY ON THIS APP. It’s a SCAM!! They will make it to where you will keep spending your money by making you loose.

This game is so much fun to play and offers a lot of options for ways to play it, but it is rigged, and it is only made to make money off of forcing users to purchase coins. Whenever I win a game and collect a certain amount of coins, for example, 70 coins, I check my amount afterward and it only went up by 10 coins. The game purposefully does not allow me to collect the amount I actually earned from winning a game so that I run out of coins more easily, trying to tempt me into making in-app purchases to gather more. Additionally, the draw 4 card is ridiculous. If Player A places a draw 4 card, then Player B, the one who has the card placed against them, has to guess if Player A has a certain color card in their deck by selecting “yes” or “no”. This is supposed to make the game more interesting as it creates the possibility of making Player A have to draw the cards instead if Player B guesses correctly. However, this is flawed because there have been times where it was proven that I (being Player B) had guessed correctly and it still said that I was wrong and then I still had to draw the cards. The algorithm is screwed to make the receivers of the draw 4 card be “incorrect” about 75% of the time, even if they actually weren’t, to increase the chances of players losing the game and hence, losing coins. All I’m saying is this game would actually be more enjoyable if every player had an equal chance.

1st off the +4 card is just ridiculous, if someone gives me the +4 card just give me 4 cards🤦🏽‍♀️ the challenge & guessing the color is just not fair, regardless you still get 4 or more cards so what’s the point? While this is a bit annoying I wouldn’t mind it IF there wasn’t other issues which I will get into right now. I feel it’s rigged or maybe I just don’t understand the coin system when you win/lose? Match fee says 30 coins but then it also says we have to pay in 100?? Also I could have 3 cards and someone else can have 5 and will still beat me, how is that fair? Or I could have 1 card while someone has 2 or 3 and still come in last place, doesn’t seem fair. I’m not sure why that’s possible, and when u win u don’t win a lot of coins and when u lose you lose a lot of coins or sometimes all your coins too. I think the coin system should be straight forward, you should lose what u put in and if u win you should win the losers buy in plain and simple. You guys should at least give us a page in settings that’s explains the coin system because it seems I’m not the only one with this complaint regarding coins. Also if you lose all your coins or don’t have enough you either have to wait for the daily earnings or hope the gum ball machine is available to TRY and win free coins. The game is fun but all these issues makes me want to delete it, listen to your users!!!
