UNO mobile tips and tricks
If you are new to UNO Mobile and are in need of some help, you have landed on the right page. This guide will share carefully devised UNO mobile tips and tricks, teaching you how to turn the odds in your favour. If you are playing against your friends or online players, after going through this guide, you can expect to say UNO! and finish the game more often.
Who hasn't played UNO? Well, your favourite classic card game is now available online, and you can enjoy it on Android and iOS. There are various game modes and time-limited events that you can enjoy. We will stick to the classic mode for this guide since that's the UNO most of us are familiar with and gravitate toward. The classic mode offers two types: Single player and 2v2. We will cover the tips for both of them.
The objective is to get rid of all the cards in your hand before other players. It's the same in 2v2 mode. If either teammate gets rid of all their cards, both players in the team win. Now, a little info about the cards: a UNO deck has 108 cards, 76 number cards and 24 action cards. Here is a breakdown of the deck:
- 19 Red cards – 0 to 9
- 19 Blue cards – 0 to 9
- 19 Green cards – 0 to 9
- 19 Yellow cards – 0 to 9
- 8 Skip cards – two cards of each colour
- 8 Reverse cards – two cards of each colour
- 8 Draw cards – two cards of each colour
- 8 Black cards – 4 wild cards and 4 Wild Draw 4 cards
Now that you know the objective and what a deck looks like, let's jump into some UNO mobile tips and tricks so that you can start winning more often.

Tip #1 - How to approach single player matches
When playing a classic single-player UNO match, the objective is to get rid of all your cards before the other three players. But if you intend to get rid of your cards first, you will lose a lot of coins when you aren't successful. If you are aiming for the win, you are putting a lot of coins at stake, so I suggest trying to decrease your points in hand.
Points are awarded based on the cards left in the losing player's hand. Number cards are worth the face value, action cards are worth 20 points and wild 4 are worth 50 points. At the end of the match, if you have action cards or wild cards in your hand, then you are going to lose a lot of in-game currency. So, it's best to aim to decrease the points because, even if you don't come first, you will still win coins for coming second and if you come third or last your will only lose a few coins.

Tip #2 - How to approach 2v2 matches
2v2 is where you play as a team, and we suggest you look at the cards you both have before deciding who will try and empty their hand and who will play the supporting role. If you are playing a supporting role, remember you should always help your teammate before yourself. For example, if it's your turn and the red colour is going on, and your teammate has no red cards, then use number/wild cards and change it to a colour your teammate has.

Tip #3 - Use action cards late to win more coins
Winning the round is not everything. You should aim to beat your opponent by a good point difference to win more coins. This is why you should hold onto your action cards, such as +2 or Wild 4, until the end and use them when you are just about to get rid of all your cards so that they have to draw more in the end, increasing the points in their hand.

Tip #4 - Observer how your opponent is playing
Your opponent's playing style will tell you a lot about what cards they have, so you need to be observant and adapt accordingly. For example, if your opponents use a wild card to change colour, they probably don't have that colour, so you know what colour you want to use to make them draw cards and waste their turn. But, at the same time, beware of bluffers; they will intentionally make you think they don't have a particular colour in their hands.

Tip #6 - Colour control
Try to control the colour. If there's a colour that you or your teammate have a lot of, you can use it to your advantage. Naturally, this also means that your opponents will have less of that colour. If your opponents try to change colour, switch back to the one you have using number cards or action cards whenever possible.
With this, we come to the end of our UNO mobile tips and tricks. Stay tuned for more gaming guides and tips and tricks and use some of the gift codes for UNO, as those will certainly come in handy.

Tip #5 - Bluffing and Mind Games
Continuing what we discussed in our last tip, you should learn to bluff and play mind games. Sometimes, it's beneficial to make your opponents think that you have or don't have a certain card, forcing them to play differently and giving you an advantage.
