Description
UNO gets a brand new twist in the new UNO Flip! card game. It essentially plays like regular UNO but with the addition of Flip cards. This UNO card deck is double-sided with a "light" side and a "dark" side. You start off playing with the light side, but if someone plays a Flip card, you have to switch to playing the dark side. And on the dark side, there are different action cards with stiffer penalties. Instead of a Draw One card, the dark side has a Draw Five card. Instead of a Skip Card, the dark side has a Skip Everyone card. You have to continue playing with the dark side until another Flip card is played.
If you don't know how to play UNO, each player takes a turn matching a card from their hand to the card on the top of the discard pile, either by number, color, or symbol. If you don't have a match, you must draw a card from the draw pile.
The symbols represent the action cards, such as Wild, Skip, Wild Draw 2, Draw One, and Reverse. This version also includes a Flip card that turns the cards to the dark side, which has the following actions: Draw Five, Reverse, Skip Everyone, Wild, Wild Draw Color, and Flip.
When you play your next-to-last card, you must yell "UNO!" to indicate you only have one card left. If you don't yell "UNO" and someone catches you, you must draw two cards. Once a player runs out of cards, the round is over, and that player receives points for all of the cards left in their opponents' hands. Play until one player reaches 500 points.

Pros
- Takes original actions and adds to level 10.

- The flipping mechanic is an interesting way to gather information.
- It is an enjoyable way to play if you like that style of game.
- There is a variety of different actions and tactical choices.
- The dual-sided card design provides powerful open information for planning.
Cons
- The actions on the dark side are super mean and cutthroat.
- Players will be more frequently drawing extra cards, making it harder to empty hands.
- The game can feel incredibly punishing.
- The amount of tape time moments will increase exponentially.
- The impact of modifications on the light side cards means players still have big handfuls of cards.
- The game feels a lot more slower-paced due to basic light side actions.
- The speed of color changes is incredibly fast.
- Players will feel a sense of lack of control due to other players changing colors.
- It's like trying to cram two different games into one.

Thematic elements
Comparison games
- Uno
Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- Draw Five — Forces the next player to draw five cards and miss their turn.
- Draw One — Forces the next player to draw one card and miss their turn.
- flip card — Players flip between the dark and light sides by playing a flip action card. This flips the discard pile, draw deck, and cards in all players' hands to the other side.
- Skip Everyone — Forces all players to skip their turn, returning the active turn to the person who played the card.
- wild card — Allows a player to choose the next color.
- Wild Draw Color — Forces the next player to draw until they reach a chosen color and lose their turn.
- Wild Draw Four — On the dark side, this card can only be played if the player does not have a matching color card. Players can challenge this. If the player is caught lying, they suffer the action; if innocent, the accuser draws two cards.
- Wild Draw Two — Forces the next player to draw two cards and allows the player to choose the next color. Cannot be played if another playable card matching the discard pile color is in hand.

- The actions on the dark side are absolutely insane.
- Think of the dark side as Uno on turbo mode.
- The flipping mechanic is such an interesting way of allowing the players to help them gather information.
- I don't think it's actually better than the original, it's like trying to cram two different games into the one game.
