About the game
What you do in a play session
UNO Dice offers three play styles that blend the easy‑going vibe of UNO with the randomness of dice. In the classic mode (Game 1), each player draws four dice, rolls the ones in hand, and places one onto a central tray, matching the existing die by color, number or letter. The first player to empty their hand wins. The second mode turns the experience into a mini‑Yacht: an 11‑round contest where the goal is the highest total score. A player draws five dice, rolls them all, may re‑roll up to two times keeping any subset, then records the result in one of eleven scoring categories – if nothing fits, a zero is taken. The third mode is the most strategic: all 24 spots on the tray are used to build strings of two or more adjacent dice that share color or symbol. Numbered faces score their face value, while R, S and D2 score 20 points each; W and WD4 score nothing. Each turn uses fewer dice than the previous one, creating a “depletion” rhythm until the tray fills. The player with the highest cumulative score wins. Components are straightforward – a bag of colored dice with letters and symbols, a 24‑slot tray, and a scoring sheet. Rules are learned in minutes, making the game perfect for 20‑minute sessions with 2‑6 players. While the scoring mode adds a touch of depth, the core matching mechanic keeps play fast and approachable, ideal for fans of light games who still want a hint of strategy.
