Official rule112-card deck with Wild Shuffle Hands (Mattel, 2019 rules)

Can you go out on an action card in UNO?

YesShort answer

Yes. Your last card can be any playable card, including an action card. If it's a Draw Two or Wild Draw 4, the next player still draws those cards, and they count when the round's points are added up.

The rule:

Yes, in UNO your last card can be any playable card, including an action card, and if you go out on a Draw Two or Wild Draw 4 the next player still draws 2 or 4 cards, which count when the round is scored.

  • Playable cards can be your last. Numbers, Skips, Reverses, Draw Twos, Wilds and Wild Draw 4s all work.
  • One case the sheet doesn’t cover: finishing on a Wild Shuffle Hands. That card redeals every card to every player, so agree as a group how to handle it.
  • Draw cards still bite: after a final Draw Two or Wild Draw 4, the next player draws 2 or 4 cards.
  • They count: those drawn cards are included when the round is scored.

The round ends as soon as someone has no cards left. Score it, then deal a new round if no one has reached 500 points.

Example:

Mia's last card is a Wild Draw 4. She plays it and goes out. Ana, next in line, draws 4 cards, and those 4 cards add to Mia's score for the round.

Why players argue about it:

Some groups play that you can't finish on an action card. The official rules allow it and even make the draw count toward the winner's points.
