• Match cards: Take turns matching the top card on the Discard Pile by color or number.
• Use special action cards: Use action cards wisely because they can change the game’s flow and help you win.
• Draw a card if you can’t play: If you don’t have a match, draw a card from the Draw Pile.
• Yell “UNO!”: Before you play your last card, shout “UNO!” If another player catches you before doing so, you must draw two penalty cards.

Special Action Cards in UNO Monster High

UNO Monster High includes similar action cards as the original UNO game including one unique card Creeperific Urrrhhh. These cards add extra excitement to the game. Here are the special action cards you need to know:

1. Skip Card: Skips the next player’s turn.
2. Reverse Card: Reverses the direction of play.
3. Draw Two Card: Forces the next player to draw two cards.
4. Wild Card: This lets you choose the color to continue playing.
5. Wild Draw Four Card: This lets you choose the color and force the next player to draw four cards.
6. Creeperific “Urrrhhh” Card: It is a fun Wild card in UNO Monster High. When you play this card, you get to choose a color from your hand to give away. Starting with the player on your left and going clockwise, you hand over one card at a time until you run out of cards of that color. When you give each card, you must mutter “Urrrhhh!” like a zombie. Since it’s a Wild card, you also get to choose the color that will continue the game. If it’s turned up at the start, the first player to the left of the dealer decides the color to resume play.
