The entire deck is split between two players, and your cards are laid out in front of each player as their tableau as follows: The goal of the game is to get rid of all your cards as quickly as possible. Swap over until all the cards are played. If you don't guess correctly, the opposing player wins the round. The aim of the game is to guess three cards correctly to win the round. Thy then ask their opponent whether the next card is going to be higher or lower.

One player takes the top card and shares the number with their opponent.

Put a shuffled pack of cards face down between two players. The winner is the person with the most pairs at the end. As you take it in turns to turn more cards over and glimpse at their numbers, try to be the quickest person to pair up matching numbers from memory. The aim of the game is to pair up cards with the same number, by remembering where specific cards are. Both players take a glimpse, and then turn them back over so all the cards are still facing down. Players take it in turns to turn two cards over. There are also special cards within the pack, such as +2 or colour change options, and players are penalised with an extra card if they forget to say Uno when they've got one remaining card. If you can't take a go, you pick up from the pack, and play continues until one player has one card left and says 'Uno'. Each player starts with seven cards, and the rest are placed face down in a pile on the table, next to the discard pile.

Players take turns matching a card in their hand with the current colour or number card shown on the top of the deck. UnoĮverybody loves a game of Uno, don't they? The rules are quite simple, providing you have a pack of Uno cards. All you need is a pack of cards (or Dobble!), and a serious competitive nature. Whether that comes in the shape of drinking games or house party games, if there are only two of you, how about some two player board games? Or even more easy, two player card games. And while Netflix binges are great and reading books is happily encouraged, sometimes you need something just a bit more ~fun~. Whether you're social distancing or self isolating due to the coronavirus pandemic, it feels like a lot of us are spending more time indoors right now.
