There are Draw Two cards, which force the next player to draw two cards, Reverse cards, which change the order of play (handy for trying to keep the turn away from someone on their last card), and the infamous Wild Draw Four, a card which you can only play if you have no other moves you can make, and which not only lets you change the colour of the pile - but also makes the next player draw four cards. The catch is, you can only put down a card that matches either the colour, or the number of the last card that was played - so if the last player played a red four, you can play a green four, blue four, yellow four, or any other card in red - but if you don't have one of those in your deck, you have to draw a new one.Īlong with the normal numbered cards, there are a variety of special cards too.
Facing off in four player battles, either against human opponents over the internet, or against computer controlled players offline (there is also a local co-op mode, which we'll get to later), you're given a stack of cards, with the objective being to simply be the first person to play them all. At its core, the base game here is the same as always.
